It was clear that Li Pu was just a casual thought. This was the magical beast that Mr. Tu had cultivated in advance for contracting, so he certainly wouldn’t think of moving it.
Unaware of the bluebird’s peculiar behavior, Mr. Tu proceeded with the introduction.
"Blue Ice Sparrow, a Grade 10 Ice Elent Summoning Beast, proficient and suitable for ice skills."
"A type of powerful Grade A magical beast, born at the third level of transformation."
"The known conventional breeding route of this summoning beast is renowned for its uniqueness."
"Legend has it that at the eighth level of transformation, it becos an ice egg."
"If it can complete the ninth transformation, it will break out of the egg and beco a terrifyingly powerful Ice Phoenix."
"Most importantly, its inherent ability grants its summoner longevity."
Clearly, finding such a magical beast must have cost Mr. Tu a lot of effort and money, so his expression looked quite proud and smug at this mont.
"Mr. Tu, can I touch it?"
After listening to the introduction, Li Pu made a small request.
"Of course."
Unquestioning, Mr. Tu brought the bluebird over to Li Pu.
"Little darling, this is not a bad person, don’t resist."
Feeling the bluebird’s agitation, he used a soothing and corny tone to comfort it.
In fact, Li Pu didn’t want to touch the bird itself. To be exact, he wanted to touch its feathers.
Then he extended his finger and lightly touched one of the feathers on the bird’s back, and information imdiately fed back to his mind.
[LV1-Ice Mirror Body (A)] 6/100
Active Effect: Release an ice sculpture replica of the body to attack
Attribute Requirent: 1~10 Ice
Type Requirent: Wind Chaser/Balanced
Race Requirent: Ice Phoenix Bloodline
Indeed, the higher the rank of the magical beast, the more quantity of related material it provides.
The small feather of the bluebird can be counted as 6/100.
If he plucked a dozen from it, wouldn’t it...
(Forget it.)
Li Pu quickly dispelled the thought.
This magical beast clearly looks very precious. If he dared to pull the bluebird’s feathers, Mr. Tu would probably peel his skin.
"Mr. Tu, did you call today for sothing?"
So he changed the subject, shifting his attention away.
The fact that he was called to the office couldn’t be as simple as showing off the magical beast.
"Haha, indeed, there is sothing."
Mr. Tu laughed heartily, letting him sit down, then began explaining.
"You probably know that contracting summoning beasts is not limited to using summoning charms."
"It is also feasible to contract with magical beasts and transform them into summoning beasts."
"However, this process will be much more troubleso than directly using summoning charms."
"Besides needing to cultivate bonds with the magical beast first, special items are required during the actual contract process."
"Depending on the contract subject, different items are needed."
With that, Mr. Tu took out a crystal from his storage space.
The appearance of the crystal made Li Pu’s eyelids twitch slightly.
Because not long ago, he’d had a close look at such a crystal.
It’s exactly—a Replica Crystal.
But he didn’t know how he could assist a summoner of Mr. Tu’s caliber.
Could it be he has to enter the replica with him, isn’t that courting death?
"Don’t be fooled by the blue ice sparrow’s current bird form."
"Actually, it belongs to the elent-type life forms."
"To be exact, it’s a variant elent-type life form."
Among the elent-type life forms Mr. Tu ntioned, Li Pu did have so understanding before.
The most ordinary ones are the tal, wood, water, fire, and earth elents.
Elent-type life forms generally don’t have fixed shapes; certain physiques might even lean towards ethereal types, quite vague.
However, under so specific conditions, elent-type life forms can mutate into a fixed shape.
Just like this little bluebird before him.
"Do you know the universal designated item required to contract with elent-type magical beasts?"
"It is the Attributeless Elental Core."
"Although not extrely valuable, it is quite rare in number."
"It’s scarce mainly because it is very difficult to preserve."
"Exists for no more than 100 minutes without binding."
"That’s why I’ve co to ask for your help."
Li Pu does know the concept of binding.
When a summoner binds a [Mnemonic], they can let their summoning beasts use it freely, without risk of loss.
But binding sothing like an Attributeless Elental Core; that was entirely unheard of to him.
Mr. Tu then provided a more detailed explanation.
The Attributeless Elental Core originates from the Small Elent Realm.
Similar to the Nether Realm, the Elent Realm is a generic term for a type of another dinsion.
The Small Elent Realm is a fragnt of the Elent Realm.
World fragnts also have varying degrees of complexity.
Putting aside their internal area, so worlds are relatively barren and desolate, while others are exceptionally energy-rich.
For example, the replica crystal he holds is a D~C level replica, belonging to a mid-high level world fragnt.
A world of that level usually contains sothing sustaining its operation.
In the Small Elent Realm, its operating core is the Attributeless Elental Core.
If the Elental Core is damaged or disappears, this fragnt will automatically traverse the void, find the original Elent Realm body, and re-rge.
What Mr. Tu needs Li Pu to do is to go to the small elent realm represented by the replica crystal in his hand and retrieve the Attributeless Elental Core inside it.
He sought out Li Pu because the replica crystal also imposes a threshold restriction on strength.
Summoning beasts at the first level or above, along with summoners possessing such beasts, cannot enter.
Under these restrictive conditions, Li Pu is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Since the top students of second-year have all completed their summoning beasts’ first transformations.
In Mr. Tu’s eyes, seeking a tail-ender from second-year for help is less reliable than choosing Li Pu, the first-year top student.
"But you don’t need to rush to complete this task right away."
"After all, this replica might contain powerful magical beasts at LV30 full level."
"It’s safer to enhance your abilities further before entering."
"However, it can’t be dragged out for too long."
"It’s best to finish within this sester, or else when the blue ice sparrow passes its juvenile period, it might affect its future breeding."
"Of course, I won’t let you go for nothing."
"The reward this ti will definitely satisfy you greatly."
At this point, Mr. Tu revealed a smile.
In reality, the Attributeless Elental Core is quite valuable, its low market price only due to preservation challenges.
As the Trading Station Director, he certainly won’t shortchange the students on his commission.
Not to ntion, this new student he finds highly promising and admirable.
Therefore, Mr. Tu is certain that the reward proposition he is about to present is sothing Li Pu wouldn’t be able to refuse.
However, Li Pu seems to have his own ideas.
Before the other person could ntion the reward, he asked first.
"Mr. Tu, does your bird shed feathers often?"
