Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code
Chapter 280 Giving Back
After hearing Qin Ming's explanation, Tianze Sacred Deer became somewhat interested.
What Qin Ming didn't know was that the ability to enlighten mortals was a realm usually only accessible to spirit beasts of the eighth rank or higher, except through a stroke of luck and divine intervention.
On the one hand, their spiritual power has undergone a qualitative transformation through several life evolutions and leaps in level, enough to unlock the potential within mortal objects.
On the other hand, in the wild, as a lord who rules over a region, expanding territory and enlightening subjects to enhance the strength of the territory is almost an instinct ingrained in his bones.
Of course, there are always a few exceptionally powerful individuals who are mavericks and dislike constraints, but clearly, the Heavenly Deer, whose nature contains the meaning of "benefiting all things" and "holy healing and protection," is not that kind of person.
His inherent nature and deep-seated instincts make him genuinely happy to see the prosperity, beauty, and positive changes in life.
Therefore, when Cang Xuan successfully transformed the eighth spirit flower, but his progress slowed down due to his insufficient understanding of the characteristics, veins, and spiritual energy nodes of other types of spirit plants, Tianze Shenglu timely began his new version of teaching.
Seeing that the Holy Deer was so kind as to personally guide him, Qin Ming felt grateful and once again activated the few remaining merit beads in his mind.
A soft and auspicious golden mist spread out, providing the area with the best energy environment.
Almost no one noticed that the black butterfly's compound eyes shimmered slightly under the mist, and its black jade-like wings seemed to have been marked with subtle and fleeting patterns by invisible strokes, which then disappeared into the deep black without a trace.
When Tianze Shenglu personally took charge of modifying the spiritual plants, he naturally handled the task with ease and skill.
With a deft touch, he aimed precisely, not only dyeing the petals from their original white to jet black as required, but also coating the branches and leaves below with a somber, dark hue.
After modifying the initial version, the Holy Deer examined it closely. The dense, impenetrable black color, combined with the originally rather delicate form of the spirit plant, looked incongruous, even... a bit ugly.
Tianze Shenglu's elegant eyebrows furrowed involuntarily—this didn't fit his aesthetic!
As a saintly deer with an extremely high pursuit of the beauty of life, how could he tolerate the creation of such "unseemly" works by his own hands?
He unconsciously clenched his jaw, and with an almost obsessive craftsman's mentality, he once again mobilized his spiritual power to meticulously carve the piece.
Putting aside the slightly solemn and dissatisfied expression on Saint Deer's face, the micro-management of spiritual power he subsequently displayed, as well as his ingenious ideas that were both imaginative and in line with the laws of nature when modifying the form and structure of spiritual plants, truly broadened the horizons of Qin Ming and Cang Xuan, who were watching from the sidelines.
Furthermore, his operating speed gradually increased, from the initial breakdown of steps and detailed explanations to the later dazzling and phantom-like techniques, making Qin Ming feel as if he could see the unfathomable depths behind this "spiritual plant modification technique".
It was not merely an infusion of power, but also an embodiment of art and rules.
In the final stage, the sacred deer seemed to have entered a frenzied state of exhaustion; the poor spiritual plant, under his control, flickered and changed its appearance wildly at a rate of one change per second:
From the dense, orderly scales covering the leaves to the soft, supple down covering them, from the feather-like leaf shape to the unusual, claw-like curl...
It quickly simulated almost every possible physical characteristic of plants.
Finally, with a cold expression, Tianze Sacred Deer "whooshed" the appearance of the spiritual plant back to its original pure black version.
He turned around and met Qin Ming and Cang Xuan, who had been watching the whole thing.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward at one point.
The two audience members' faces, a mixture of amazement, bewilderment, and unconcealed astonishment, made Saint Deer's lips twitch violently.
—This despicable teaching accident!
He forced himself to remain calm, adopting the demeanor of a strict teacher, and asked in a flat tone, "Did you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Xuan snapped out of his shock and nodded subconsciously. He understood the basic principles of color penetration and spiritual energy guidance resonance, and the Holy Deer's explanation was clear enough.
But then he shook his head vigorously, not understanding why there had to be so many bizarre twists and turns.
And what is the deeper meaning behind his hand speed, which is so fast that it exceeds the limit of his dynamic vision?
He didn't understand it and admitted that he couldn't learn it in the short term.
Tianze Sacred Deer's expression grew increasingly cold due to his inner embarrassment. "It's alright, understanding the principle is enough; mastering the form requires years of accumulation."
He paused, trying to keep his voice steady, "It's okay, I'll demonstrate a few more."
After saying that, he used what was available and stopped specially selecting suitable spiritual plants. His gaze swept across the area and then settled on a cluster of fresh and elegant white flowers.
Seeing this, Cang Xuan hesitated to speak—that clump of "Moon Shadow Orchid" was a variety he really liked. Although the flowers were small, they were elegant in shape and had a delicate fragrance. There was really no need to replace it with the black one!
But Saint Deer was engrossed in teaching and had already made his move, so Cang Xuan couldn't very well stop him and could only suppress his heartache.
He frowned, his eyes sharp as knives, and observed even more intently, not daring to miss any detail of the Sacred Deer Technique.
He had already made up his mind: once this "use" was over, no matter how the spiritual plant was changed, he would find a way to restore it to its original state!
At this moment, we must observe carefully and remember every step of the modification so that we can reverse it in the future!
The master and apprentice looked solemn, creating a tense atmosphere that left the onlookers puzzled and afraid to make a sound.
Although they never understood from beginning to end where the renovation process encountered such a severe problem that required a serious and stern approach.
The deer and wolf's stern expressions grew increasingly cold and hard as the spiritual plant modification work progressed.
Keda felt a slight itch on his head, but he didn't dare to scratch it. He looked at Qin Ming with pleading eyes and a hint of grievance, asking for help through telepathy.
Qin Ming felt helpless and reassured her through telepathy, "Just be patient a little longer, I think it'll be soon."
Actually, his current standing posture wasn't very comfortable either, and there was even an empty chair next to him, but he thought better of it.
Qin Ming secretly moved his stiff ankle.
When Tianze Shenglu stopped focusing on additional aesthetic design and concentrated solely on the core task of modifying flower colors, its efficiency skyrocketed.
Even though he deliberately slowed down the key processes of infusing spiritual power and guiding the color change for the sake of teaching effectiveness, and mixed in clear explanations, his speed was far beyond what Cang Xuan had done before.
Soon, a group of spiritual plants with different shapes but uniformly dark-colored flowers appeared.
A single black color might seem dull, but when many different varieties of black flowers gather together, under the glow of the golden mist, they strangely create a mysterious, serene, and even somewhat eerie beauty, making them truly unique.
Little Fatty had been quietly watching from the sidelines, closely observing the progress. Seeing that Tianze Sacred Deer had finally stopped its teaching demonstration, and that the number of black flowers in front of it had only increased, he knew it was his turn to appear.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and stepped forward unhurriedly, scattering a large amount of salt onto the newly grown "ink-colored flowerbed".
Salt grains fluttered down, like a fine snowflake, evenly covering the flowers and the land.
Meanwhile, gazing at the newly formed saline-alkali land beneath their feet, the two beasts, skilled in planting, wore solemn expressions. This land…
But the black hole on the other side seemed to be infused with boundless vitality.
It fluttered its wings joyfully, following its most primal instincts, and rushed toward the black flower bushes.
Previously, the project team secretly assessed the black hole as having "poor appetite and mild anorexia," but now it has shown an astonishing "appetite."
It flitted among the dark flowers, its mouthparts gently probing, sipping nectar and salt-stained petals, its belly bulging as it ate, yet it still wouldn't stop.
A moment later, when the black hole’s feeding reached a certain critical point, a pure and soft white light suddenly flashed across its dark body!
The light was not fleeting, but rather emanated from the base of its black jade-like wings, spreading outwards slowly like mercury spilling onto the ground, flowing through the wing veins, and soaking into the scales, enveloping its entire body in a hazy halo.
Then, something even more surprising happened.
Drawn to and nourished by the strange white light emanating from the black hole, the black spiritual flowers below, which it had consumed, seemed to be infused with new vitality. The plants trembled slightly, the leaves became fuller, and the dark petals became even more profound and vibrant, even faintly revealing a layer of precious light. The overall spiritual fluctuations clearly increased by a level—they had collectively upgraded!
For a moment, the expressions on Tianze Sacred Deer and Cangxuan's faces became complicated and indescribable.
What they initially saw as a one-time, forced "skin change" that didn't quite fit traditional aesthetics was completely unexpected. However, this sudden upgrade, which originated from the butterfly and nourished the spiritual plants, was entirely beyond their expectations.
Cang Xuan's resolve to "change it back" wavered. The upgraded spiritual plant's properties had already changed; could it be easily reverted? Would it damage its foundation?
A look of surprise and contemplation flashed in the eyes of the sacred deer. The interaction between the black butterfly and the black spiritual plant seemed to conceal some unique symbiotic law.
Qin Ming had no time to concern himself with their complex entanglements about aesthetics and agronomy; his attention was entirely focused on the illusory panel in front of him, which only he could see.
As the black hole upgrades, the information on the panel is clearly jumping and updating:
【Name】: Ink Butterfly (Black Hole)
[Attribute]: General
[Skills]: Scale Powder (Basic), Light and Shadow Mimicry (Basic), Feedback (Special, Passive Trigger)
[Evaluation]: A butterfly with unusual tastes, obsessed with its own color. Having no chance to evolve in nature, it has encountered its own destiny and is now filled with gratitude.
His scale powder had strange and unusual effects...
