Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

Let's rewind to a few hours earlier, on the banks of the Qinglan River.

"Awooo, Qin Ming, it seems like you were pulled away from this world for a moment just now, what happened?"

Although it was a question, Huo Lin's crimson-gold pupils were filled with seriousness.

In times of emergency, one must act expediently. This was the first time Qin Ming had used his time-traveling talent without any concealment in front of Huo Lin.

He wiped the sweat from his brow. "Let's talk about it in detail next time... I have something important to do now."

Qin Ming pointed to the land and river beneath his feet, which were eroded by toxins, his eyes earnest.

Huo Lin stared at Qin Ming for a few seconds, his crimson eyes gleaming with light. He nodded slightly and didn't press further, accepting the explanation.

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief and carefully folded the letter he had written to Zheng Wenjie. "Little Fatty, I'm entrusting you with this important task. Make sure you deliver this letter!"

"Hmm!" Little Fatty nodded vigorously, his short tail taut, looking as reliable as if he were "wrapped up in the turtle's body".

After bidding farewell to the chubby little guy who had vanished into the void, Qin Ming's gaze swept over Keda, whose feathers were shimmering with moonlight and which was already poised to pounce. Then his eyes fell on the little red beast in his arms, and he asked softly.

"Yan-zai, do you want to come with us into the river?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Lin looked down at the dark and turbulent river below. "Qin Ming, I..." A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. "I'll wait for you on the shore."

He was roughly aware of his reputation among the spirit beasts. If he went into the water with Qin Ming, Qin Ming might not be able to see Jiang Ling, whom he wanted to see.

He is also at odds with Jiang Ling's "water" element, and they have no connection in terms of territory. It is highly likely that they will dislike each other, so it is better for them not to meet.

Huo Lin's tone was unusually hesitant, but it quickly hardened, his aura blazing as he spoke, "Qin Ming, if you're in danger, don't be afraid, I'll blow up the river to save you!"

These words sound arrogant, yet they inexplicably bring a sense of peace.

Huo Lin knew perfectly well that the reason Qin Ming liked to carry him around was because this human was too insecure.

He actually quite enjoyed the feeling of being relied upon and being able to support Qin Ming.

It's not simply because this chef cooks well. Of course, that's also important. Throughout Huo Lin's life, he's only encountered one such promising chef. It's not easy to find someone like him. We must protect him...

As if to add another piece of leverage to Qin Ming's already considerable confidence, Huo Lin flicked its tail and added a sentence, its tone carrying the pride and certainty that came from its bloodline.

"Qin Ming, you and Keda both bear my brother's blessing mark. As long as Lord Lanyuan's brain isn't completely ruined by the poison, he would never dare to lay a finger on you! Relax!"

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment... Oh right, he didn't just have Huo Lin behind him, he also had an even bigger "tiger skin" to pull off.

So, it seems there's more to the story than meets the eye that Keda could directly see Lanyuan Jun's true face.

With a sense of relief, Qin Ming gave the makeshift, somewhat rudimentary but adequate "homemade oxygen tank" on his back one last check, gave Huo Lin a thumbs-up that everything was fine, and then jumped into the river with Keda.

Once inside the water, the biting cold and the faint toxicity permeating the water constantly tried to erode it.

Qin Ming was completely in the dark and relied entirely on Keda to lead the way.

Just then, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly took out the Pure Lotus given to him by Lord Lanyuan.

As soon as the Pure Lotus appeared, a soft, shimmering white light emanated naturally from its petals, like an invisible purifying force field that quietly enveloped Qin Ming and Keda.

The surrounding murky and icy river water was quietly diverted slightly, and the unpleasant toxins were completely cleansed by the aura of the Pure Lotus, creating a small but clean and safe water area for Qin Ming!

"I see……"

Holding the Pure Lotus, Qin Ming felt the calming water flow and refreshing "water vapor" around him, and a sudden realization dawned on him—

This pure lotus is both a gift and a token, a certificate and authorization given to him by Lord Lanyuan to freely traverse the poisoned river!

The thought had barely crossed his mind when something deep in the river ahead seemed to be stirred by the aura of the Pure Lotus. A gentle yet irresistible current of water quietly surged in, like an underwater highway, gently enveloping him and Keda.

The next second, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, as if time and space were compressed!

They instantly traversed a vast distance, speeding towards the deep waters where Jiang Ling was located...

Deep within the river, Lord Lanyuan's massive body stirred slightly, his eyes revealing undisguised surprise.

They... arrived so quickly?

In her perception, the peculiar Moon-Tracing Phoenix had just come ashore, carrying her questions to the human spirit master.

Almost immediately, the young spirit master's aura disappeared into the poison-laden river water without the slightest hesitation!

This decisive, almost reckless, yet courageous and sincere action made Lan Yuanjun, who was initially disheartened by humanity's breach of trust, feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

Throughout her long life, she had witnessed far too much weighing of options, procrastination, and calculation, especially now that she was weak and in distress on the water; she had already prepared for the worst…

However, the young man named Qin Ming chose the most direct and dangerous way immediately upon receiving the news—to personally venture into the heart of the river!

This almost sincere decisiveness and sense of responsibility stirred something within her... No wonder that being looked upon with special regard and bestowed blessings upon humanity! She sighed inwardly.

When Qin Ming's vision returned, he had a strange intuition that Lan Yuanjun's attitude towards him was unusually kind.

Although he didn't know the reason, it was still a good thing. His tone was respectful yet composed. "Lord Lanyuan, I heard about your question from Keda. Regarding the agreement that human reinforcements have not yet arrived, I have immediately dispatched spirit beasts to inquire with the relevant people. I believe we will receive a reply soon."

Having personally experienced the vast and unfathomable power of Lord Lanyuan, Qin Ming no longer had any doubts about Jiang Ling's identity.

His expression turned serious, and he got to the point: "I wonder how Keda and I can assist you in protecting what you need to protect...?"

His words trailed off, his gaze passing over Lan Yuanjun's body to see what she was protecting behind her—

Those were not the injured aquatic creatures one might imagine, but rather several wisps of spirits, each with a unique shape and radiating pure life energy, shrouded in strange halos!

These were wondrous creatures that he had never seen in any books or catalogs, and that he could not even comprehend with common sense!

Lan Yuanjun noticed his surprised gaze. Ripples of water gently brushed over a cluster of emerald green light that looked like swaying water plants, with countless stars seemingly twinkling within it.

"This is 'Nan,' the embodiment of the enduring vitality of all the aquatic plants in the entire Qinglan River basin."

Her voice carried a motherly tenderness: "Although it has not yet developed complete intelligence, as long as it exists, the aquatic plants of the Qinglan River can maintain their vitality, purify the water, stabilize the riverbed, and nourish countless aquatic creatures."

Then, her gaze shifted to another transparent bubble that was constantly changing shape and seemed to have a spring flowing inside.

"This is 'gurgling,' the undercurrent at the bottom of the river and the breath of the springs, surging with the vitality of the river..."

She then pointed to a swirling pool of sand that emitted a faint glow: "This is 'Yun,' the sediment and memories of the riverbed, maintaining the balance of the river's flow..."

Qin Ming was dumbfounded. Wow, this is truly eye-opening...

These are not traditional "living beings" at all; they are the manifestation of the most fundamental and core rules of the Qinglan River!

What merits does he have?

Qin Ming swallowed hard, not wanting to blink.
