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

While joking, Qin Ming's hands were busy, just like when he entertained Qi Lin, he almost swept up all the available takeout options in the vicinity.

Huo Lin treated him without any selfish motives, so it is only right that he reciprocate by being a good host.

As for the instant noodles that Huo Lin had been longing for, Qin Ming naturally wanted to make sure he got his fill.

"I'm going to order a few boxes of instant noodles. What flavor do you want?" Qin Ming showed Huo Lin the shopping interface on his phone.

"I had this braised beef flavor before and it was pretty good. I'll try this shrimp and fish cake flavor too... Wait, they also have a spicy crayfish flavor!? Is it a new one?"

As Huo Lin scrolled down the screen, he was overwhelmed by the variety of options and felt an urge to try them all, wishing he could clear out his entire inventory.

Qin Ming helplessly stopped his hand, afraid that his phone screen would be damaged. "Alright, alright, have a little of everything."

Seeing Huo Lin's energetic and gleaming eyes, and considering his bottomless appetite, Qin Ming's heart softened—he'd let him have this little hobby.

In the end, the man and the beast, mainly the Fire Scale, feasted on the dazzling array of delicacies on the table.

The instant noodles were placed together with various dishes, which looked a bit out of place, but Huo Lin was only interested in the taste and didn't care about such formalities.

"What are some of your favorite dishes? Should I pack some extra for you to take away?" Qin Ming asked with a smile, seeing him enjoying his meal.

"Awooo!!"

At this moment, Huo Lin felt that all the effort he had put into asking his underlings for advice on how to get along with humans and ordering them to offer corresponding gifts was worth it!

Huo Lin was completely satisfied, and even his bottomless belly visibly began to swell.

"By the way, I'm basically unable to bring items from Blue Star back to the Spirit Martial Continent. How did you manage that?"

Seeing that Huo Lin had slowed down its eating and started to seriously consider the packing list, Qin Ming took the opportunity to voice a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"Simple, just completely isolate the spiritual energy from the outside," Huo Lin replied easily.

However, spiritual energy is as ubiquitous in the Spirit Martial Continent as the air on Earth. How easy is it to maintain a state of complete isolation?

"How exactly does it work?" Now that the question had been asked, Qin Ming was unwilling to give up without getting a clear answer.

Perhaps because he was indebted to Huo Lin, he was unusually easy to talk to at this moment. Not content with simply explaining, he simply began to demonstrate and teach step by step.

"First, extend your claws... well, your hands will do too; second, hold your breath, concentrate your mind, and build a sense of 'isolation' in your heart, so that nothing can disturb you."

"Hmm, and then?" Qin Ming followed closely, learning in a very good manner.

"And that's it~"

Huo Lin spoke in a light tone, swishing his tail triumphantly, only to be met with Qin Ming's suddenly frozen expression.

He repeatedly assured that this was exactly how it was done, that it was personally tested and effective, and that he was honest with everyone, young and old.

The smile on Qin Ming's face vanished instantly.

Watching Huo Lin happily continue packing, Qin Ming suddenly didn't want to get involved in the topic anymore.

Actually, he didn't have anything he absolutely had to bring from Earth; if he really wanted to use it, he could just come back anytime...

But thinking about it still makes me unhappy.

"Could you be more specific? What kind of power are you using? Mental power? Telekinesis? It can't be spiritual power, can it?"

"Actually..."

Perhaps Huo Lin had reflected on his previous teaching failure, because this time he spoke more carefully, "It's all fine, it mainly depends on your own strength. As long as you cultivate to the level of that deer, that's about right. Being slightly less than that shouldn't be a big problem."

Qin Ming's lips twitched. He understood the truth, but he was even angrier... He rubbed his throbbing temples and decided not to stoop to the level of this "why not eat meat porridge" little brat.

After Huo Lin had eaten and drunk his fill and finished packing, Qin Ming took out a handful of spirit crystals from his spatial stone and asked, "You can still accurately control the fire element here, right?"

"Of course!" Huo Lin said, head held high.

He immediately understood Qin Ming's intention—to use him as a model to refine fire-type array crystals.

Perhaps it's because Qin Ming's natural talent leans towards harmony, or perhaps the fire element is inherently much more volatile than the water element.

In short, every time Qin Ming wanted to complete the refining process safely, Huo Lin always had to keep an eye on him, ready to cover for him at any time.

Practice makes perfect, and now he's quite the expert.

Seeing Huo Lin's arrogant "I'll take care of this" attitude, Qin Ming knew what was going on.

He held his breath and focused intently, his mental and spiritual power intertwining delicately as he tried to carefully trace and integrate the unique charm of the Fire Scale into the drawing trajectory of the array crystal.

Huo Lin stared intently from the side, his eyes unblinking. In truth, this kind of meticulous work was quite mentally taxing, and he didn't particularly enjoy it.

But every time Qin Ming refined something, whether his initial intention was to practice or something else, the final product almost always ended up in his stomach. Therefore, he had nothing to complain about, and it was only right that he put in some effort in the process.

Huo Lin suppressed the yawns and sleepiness that surged up after eating, and secretly sighed: Qin Ming is really too polite, and his hospitality is so thoughtful that he almost felt embarrassed.

Under Huo Lin's focused gaze, and perhaps because they were on Blue Star and the rules were different, the refining process, though fraught with twists and turns, was ultimately safe and sound.

A crystal array containing pure fire elemental power was successfully created.

It is crystal clear, and inside it seems to contain a miniature sun, burning quietly and radiating light.

Even Qin Ming himself was somewhat dazed—the feel of the ball this time was unexpectedly good.

Huo Lin approached hesitantly yet determinedly, eagerly anticipating the "snack," only to watch helplessly as Qin Ming placed the crystal on a square-headed iron lump.

That lump of iron was actually secretly absorbing the energy of the condensed crystal! Huo Lin was shocked and let out a low growl, sparks flying all over his body, and he was about to spew out a mouthful of flames.

"Don't rush, I'll need your help to look after things a little longer."

Qin Ming reached out to comfort Huo Lin, "This little guy is just beginning to develop intelligence and is simple-minded, but his strength is insufficient. I estimate that he cannot control such pure energy."

Qin Ming could sense the nascent "spirit" in the computer cautiously probing out waves of joy. He thought to himself that it had finally grown a brain and knew to restrain itself in the face of such a powerful and unfamiliar aura as Huo Lin.

Good, your intelligence has improved!

Just as Qin Ming was feeling pleased, he turned his head and saw that Huo Lin's head and tail were drooping, and the whole beast looked listless and dispirited.

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Ming stared at the incredibly stable array crystals in mid-air, filled with doubt and confusion.

Everything was going smoothly, wasn't it?

How can this fire-breathing creature exert so much effort? It's almost draining its soul!

Is it that hard?
