Chapter 474 - 385: Scarecrow Purifier (Part 2)
However, wanting a summoned beast without dragon attributes to acquire them is ultimately not a simple task.
This elemental dragon transformation plan does not have overly stringent requirements for the reincarnation process.
What’s truly demanding are the materials needed.
Materials from dragon species of grade A or above are merely the basic requirement.
The challenge lies in extracting the dragon attribute essence from these dragon materials.
The most difficult part of this plan is precisely how to obtain or extract the dragon attribute essence.
If others got hold of this plan, they might find themselves at a loss. After all, extracting attribute essence is a skill only possessed by high-end research institutions, let alone the rare dragon attribute essence.
But Li Pu happens to have a purifying device at hand.
That’s right, the scarecrow.
Due to its inherent ability of [Dragon Expulsion], it can repel all things related to dragons during reincarnation.
Last time, even using just a small part of the Dragon Lady tree yielded some results, so Li Pu believes that using the remaining parts this time should produce the desired dragon attribute essence.
Therefore, before the Ugly Little Wolf truly reincarnates, the scarecrow’s reincarnation must be completed first.
The reason for preparing the relevant materials for the elemental dragon transformation in advance is out of concern that the dragon attribute essence might have a time sensitivity, just in case.
[Caocao!]
Following Li Pu’s instructions, the scarecrow jumped into the familiar solution tank.
This time, the solution it used was different from the [S-180 Plant Special Solution].
It’s an advanced upper-level product in another direction of the [A-183 Plant Special Solution]: [S-179 Plant Special Solution].
The [S-179 Plant Special Solution] is characterized by extremely high solubility.
Generally speaking, plant reincarnations rarely use such a solution.
Because overly high solubility would require excessive material input, causing overflow and waste.
Unless one is a very wealthy summoner, most people wouldn’t use it.
However, Li Pu’s purpose this time is overflow, which is why he chose it.
Indeed, last time the [A-183 Plant Special Solution] was saturated merely by placing some branches and leaves of the Dragon Lady tree in it, but he believes the [S-179 Plant Special Solution] would perform better this time.
However, similar to the [A-183 Plant Special Solution], the dissolution speed of the [S-179 Plant Special Solution] is very slow, even slower.
Li Pu roughly estimated that it would take at least several hours to dissolve everything completely.
So it’s unrealistic to use such a solution as an offensive tool against magical beasts.
Moreover, although these solutions seem capable of dissolving any materials, due to their special nature, they are essentially only effective on inanimate objects and ineffective on living ones.
While waiting for the Dragon Lady tree to dissolve, Bubu also successfully found the Ugly Little Wolf and brought it to the training ground.
Seeing its unsatisfied expression, one could tell it was definitely marking territory.
"Make sure you hurry on your side too."
Upon the Ugly Little Wolf’s arrival, Li Pu led it to a large device nearby.
This device is a cube-shaped frame set up on a metal stand, surrounded by numerous highly complex precision machines. Each machine is connected to a giant electromagnetic probe, several of which point directly at the center of the cube.
It is named the [Elemental Reassembler] and serves as another key core of the elemental dragon transformation plan.
Its function is not to actually rearrange an elemental-type summoned beast but to allow it to stay within the device and gradually revert to its most primitive elemental form.
This process won’t harm the summoned beast, and they can recover quickly upon leaving the device.
However, the reassembling process is relatively lengthy, taking up to around 10 hours.
So Li Pu let the Ugly Little Wolf enter it first to reassemble, making efficient use of time on both sides.
[Ho Bo? Bo Bo!]
Upon hearing Li Pu’s explanation, the Ugly Little Wolf obediently entered the interior of the cube.
"Make sure you don’t pee inside."
Li Pu emphasized heavily as an afterthought.
This equipment is very expensive, valued at over 10,000 Crystal Coins.
Such a precise contraption being shorted by Ugly Little Wolf’s one pee would be too wasteful.
Moreover, once used, it becomes fixed to reassemble only cloudy elements in the future.
Li Pu plans to leave it for multiple uses, as elemental-type summoned beasts likely use the [Elemental Reassembler] during reincarnation.
Now with the scarecrow and Ugly Little Wolf both in operation, what Li Pu needs to do next is wait.
During the wait, he first set up the projected reincarnation array according to the plan’s instructions.
Targeting the position of Ugly Little Wolf, once the projection switch is turned on, it will immediately cover and take effect on it.
Other materials required for reincarnation are also arranged in order, ensuring quick access when needed.
Additionally, Bubu is instructed not to steal any food.
After completing these tasks, Li Pu and Bubu officially enter a period of long waiting.
During this time, Bubu, feeling bored, attempts to stealthily munch on Li Pu’s head multiple times but fails consistently, ultimately being thrown out of the training ground by Li Pu in irritation.
After 5 hours, the complete dissolution of the Dragon Lady tree is achieved first.
This signifies the formal beginning of the scarecrow’s eighth reincarnation.
Another 3 hours pass, and the Ugly Little Wolf, having fallen asleep in the center of the cube, starts to gradually display a cloudy appearance under the electromagnetic probes’ illumination. At this point, it should be more aptly named Ugly Little Cloud.
more hours later, the scarecrow in the solution starts to tremble slightly.
[Caocao...]
Also in slumber, it subconsciously lets out a low cry.
"It’s coming."
Li Pu perks up, standing up.
Based on previous experiences, he knows now is the time for the extraction phase.
Ping!
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a mass of gray light shot directly from the solution.
With quick reflexes, Li Pu leapt and grabbed it by hand.
"Tsk."
The powerful impact surprisingly made his palm feel slightly painful.
The tactile sensation transmitted its shape, feeling as though it was akin to a piece of scale-like object.
Upon landing, the glow disperses.
"This thing..."
Li Pu realized it was an artifact.
Its appearance is quite similar to the [Dragon Scale Shell] Long Ren obtained originally.
The difference is its shape is much smaller and it leans towards a grayish-white color, much like the inverted scale of the Dragon Lady tree.
"It should be a good thing, right?"
If he recalls correctly, back then Long Ren’s [Dragon Scale Shell] was an S-grade artifact.
Thus, he immediately probed it with psychic sense and promptly received information.
[Dragon Scale Amulet (S)]
Attached Effect: Greatly enhances non-physical resistance
Attribute Requirement: 1~10 Dragon
Type Requirement: None
Race Requirement: Dragon-related species
"A good thing indeed!"
Upon seeing this item, Li Pu’s face brightened with joy.
This [Dragon Scale Amulet] is almost the opposite of [Dragon Scale Shell] in function.
The [Dragon Scale Shell]’s effect is to boost impact resistance, while the [Dragon Scale Amulet] boosts non-physical resistance.
The Ugly Little Wolf is already very formidable in physical impact ability, so if, upon successful reincarnation, it gains dragon attributes and can equip the [Dragon Scale Amulet], wouldn’t it also excel in non-physical areas?
Who could anticipate that this seemingly soft and ugly little creature could follow a tank path as a summoned beast?
Li Pu felt he was wise not to have sold off the remnants of the Dragon Lady tree initially.
Now just this one piece of S-grade artifact already made these efforts worthwhile, right?
Ping!
However, before he finished basking in his triumph, another blast of light shot out from the solution.
"Huh, it can even produce a card?"
Fixing his eyes, Li Pu was flabbergasted.
This time he did not leap to catch it, instead, he adjusted the landing point and waited for the card to descend on its own.
[Aola Cao!]
When the card landed in his hand, and its projection emerged from within, he was even more stupefied.
"What the heck is this card."
