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

This return to Earth lasted a full week, during which Qin Ming verified and gained a preliminary understanding of the sustainable automatic recharging mechanism of the Merit Golden Pearl.

As long as one is on Earth, and participates in or indirectly facilitates events that conform to the broad principles of merit such as "maintaining order," "eliminating hidden dangers," and "transmitting goodwill," the Golden Pearl can draw energy from the feedback from the unseen world and grow slowly and steadily.

However, the surprises didn't end there. During this week of practice, his spirit beasts also quietly underwent a transformation in their abilities.

Cang Xuan's skill "Wolf King's Majesty" has improved his proficiency. Now, he just stands quietly, and his aura is becoming more and more powerful, making people dare not underestimate him.

Keda and Xiaopang also have a new skill aura appearing on their bodies - "Domination".

This skill usually only appears on wild boss-level spirit beasts. It enhances their temperament and leadership abilities, making it easier for the holder to gain recognition and followers from their own kind or even other creatures.

When proficiency reaches its peak, legend has it that one will possess the aura of a king who "rules over all beasts".

So when Qin Ming saw the words "Domination (Beginner)" flashing in Keda and Xiaopang's skill bars on the panel, he was really stunned for a long time.

It's a good thing, no doubt about it, but the good things came too quickly and too suddenly, which left Qin Ming a little confused.

Skills that require adventure and hardship in the wild to appear by chance are now being mastered by his spirit beast. Although it's only at the beginner level, it's still somewhat beyond the scope of the skill.

"The growth of a spirit beast's abilities seems to involve not only the accumulation of spiritual energy or the tempering of battles, but also the spiritual training and enlightenment."

Qin Ming had a vague idea in his mind, but he needed more information and cases to confirm it.

So, after getting rid of Ge Wei's "turtle matchmaking" project and being certain that the "cooperative model" of the riverbank turtles had entered a sustainable observation track under the official control, Qin Ming made a decisive decision: to return to Lingwu Continent first!

I did some research, sorted things out, and also helped Xiaopang escape the shadow of "arranged marriage," while allowing myself to enjoy a few quiet days without having to get up early and brave the cold wind.

With a single thought, contracts are formed, and space shifts.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the Lingwu Continent, in his single dormitory room that had been "illegally modified" several times but was still standing strong.

In fact, students in the Lingwu Continent also need to "get there early," such as vying for public cultivation rooms with abundant spiritual energy and competing for masterclass seats with popular instructors.

But ever since Qin Ming's dormitory paid a huge fine and his friend Xuan Jin upgraded the concealment and spirit-gathering complex formation twice, Qin Ming has gone all out.

With the help of the Holy Deer's guidance, Qin Ming unleashed his full potential.

Now, his dormitory is no longer a normal room; it's more like a miniature, fully-equipped ecological park.

The main part of the room still retains its basic functions for living and cultivation, but the space is used to the fullest extent.

One side of the wall was completely renovated, introducing an array that simulates natural light, below which is a "mini ecological forest" meticulously maintained by Cangxuan.

The soil here comes from different monster habitats, and various low-lying spiritual plants, exotic flowers and herbs collected by Cang Xuan are planted here. There is even a small pool of circulating water in which several colorful and harmless spirit fish swim.

Cang Xuan especially enjoys meditating here, sensing the emotions of the plants and guiding their growth. However, recently he has been obsessed with researching how to make the black jade moss bloom with colorful black flowers.

On the other side is the accessible territory, with tall perches made of light and airy wind chime wood, adorned with various sparkling decorations containing traces of spiritual energy.

The area is brightly lit and has a wide field of vision. Keda is a staunch "light-colored and reflective object enthusiast," so his territory is the furthest away from Cangxuan's dark experimental field.

The backyard area belongs to Xiaopang. The ground has sunk, and a spring has been introduced to form a clear spring pool with a diameter of about three meters.

The bottom of the pool is covered with smooth, warm jade, and there is a gentle slope along the edge for people to go up and down. There is a specially isolated area in the water where several kinds of low-level spirit shells and silver-threaded aquatic plants, which Little Fatty had somehow acquired, are cultivated.

Beside the pool, there was a flat, warm boulder, his favorite spot for sunbathing and sleeping.

Little Fatty is a pure pragmatist and hedonist; his requirements for his environment are only two things: a comfortable place to sleep and convenient access to food. This place perfectly meets those requirements.

As for the uninvited "school bully" Snow Cat who has been staying here for a long time, he seems to regard this place as a safe and comfortable place to stay and store his "stolen goods".

He appeared and disappeared mysteriously, leaving early and returning late, and would occasionally bring back strange things, such as tail feathers of rare birds, minerals with peculiar energy, or even good-quality spiritual herbs, which he would place at Qin Ming's door or on the windowsill.

Qin Ming accepted this readily, treating it as payment of "rent".

The only problem is that Treasure-hunting Mouse Xiao Bao is often frightened, which has led him to prefer hiding in Qin Ming's beast-taming space recently and rarely come out.

Considering that Xiao Bao's advancement path is special, mainly relying on the accumulation of "treasure hunting" talent rather than environmental spiritual energy, Qin Ming let him be.

Back in his familiar and comforting environment, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to brew a pot of spiritual tea to clear his mind before heading to the academy's library to look up information on "Domination" skills.

"Yo~" A clear and gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Qin Ming turned around and saw that the sacred deer had silently appeared at the edge of the mini ecological forest.

He was elegant, his antlers glistening, and his clear eyes were looking at him with a hint of inquiry.

"Deer senses that there was a momentary, intense fluctuation in your aura just now, like the afterglow of a spatial shift, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be just an illusion, and everything is as stable as ever."

Saint Deer tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with pure concern. "Are you alright? Did you go to the Spirit Realm again?"

Qin Ming thought to himself that the Holy Deer's senses were indeed sharp. He didn't know how it was such a coincidence that the Holy Deer had caught the fluctuations between the two realms. He smiled and said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Saint Deer blinked, and seeing that Qin Ming was alright, he didn't ask any more questions. But the mention of the Void Realm reminded him of Fire Kirin, that guy with a terrifying background who had also given him a chance. "Have you heard anything about Fire Kirin lately?"

Qin Ming shook his head, a look of worry appearing on his brow. "No, it's been quite a few days since he went to the birthplace to seek a breakthrough, and there's still no news."

Thinking of Huo Lin, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At this moment, Huo Lin, who was on the minds of Qin Ming and Sheng Lu, was in a rather "torturous" situation.

It was a forbidden zone located in the far south of the Lingwu Continent. The earth was cracked, and magma flowed slowly through the deep ravines like rivers. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and scorching metal, and the violent fire-type spiritual energy was almost condensed into visible crimson ripples.

This is a sacred cultivation ground that fire-attribute beings dream of, but it is also a dangerous and desolate area capable of burning everything.

In the heart of this restless, burning world, on a relatively stable platform in the middle of a lava lake, there are two figures that are completely out of place with their surroundings.

One of them, naturally, is the Fire Scale.

His crimson scales shone even brighter in the firelight, his four hooves treading on the flowing flames, his form majestic. But his eyes revealed a forced weariness and restlessness, and there was a subtle disharmony between his aura and the energy fluctuations of this world, as if two similar but different flames were colliding and repelling each other.

The other figure was even more mysterious.

He resembled a Qilin, but was taller and more slender, his entire body covered in dark gold scales with mysterious patterns, his four hooves entwined with faint clouds, and his pair of molten gold eyes held the weight of time and majesty.

It was Huo Lin's elder brother, Qi Lin.

"If you're sleepy, just take a nap!"

Qi Lin's voice was low, yet tinged with a hint of helplessness, clearly reaching Huo Lin's ears amidst the roaring sound of flowing lava.

"I won't sleep!" Fire Scales retorted resolutely, its hooves digging into the hardened rocks beneath its feet.

Qi Lin sighed: "The energy here has already subtly resonated with your arrival, showing signs of evolution and transformation."

However, your mind is restless and your thoughts are wandering, which prevents your energy from fully harmonizing and resonating with the original fluctuations of this place, instead causing unnecessary irritability and instability.

Get some sleep, clear your mind, and let your instincts communicate, adapt, and integrate; the problem will naturally resolve itself. Why force yourself to endure it?

Fire Kirin's eyes grew even more annoyed. He flicked his tail, sending sparks flying, and muttered, "What if... I sleep too soundly and wake up to find everything changed, and Qin Ming is gone?"

"The thought of this keeps me so upset I can't sleep!"

Qi Lin fell silent: "..."

A rare hint of speechlessness flashed across his golden eyes.

Because of this concern, even the most crucial opportunity for evolution has to be compromised?

Qi Lin barely suppressed his impatience and said patiently, "Go to sleep. I will protect you here. I will wake you up when the time comes."

His voice slowed, carrying the weight of a promise.

Huo Lin looked at his brother with suspicion: "You...guarantee?"

He knew his elder brother always kept his word, but since it concerned whether he could see Qin Ming alive again, he had to be cautious.

"I promise." Qi Lin's voice lowered even further, and a wisp of dark gold hair on his forehead moved without wind, indicating that his patience was being worn down to its limit.

If the spirits of heaven and earth nearby had not been suffering from the energy disturbances and had repeatedly cried out to him for help, he would not have personally come to keep an eye on this troublesome younger brother.

Having received reassurance, Huo Lin seemed to relax a little, but then remembered something, and his eyes began to wander:

"I... I've been thinking, maybe I shouldn't sleep? I feel okay right now, I can actually hold on a little longer, maybe I can just tough it out..."

"Thump!"

Before he could finish speaking, a dark golden hoof, shrouded in clouds and seemingly raised casually, swiftly imprinted itself on his forehead.

The force was controlled with exquisite precision, causing no harm, yet it carried an irresistible drowsiness that instantly swept over Huo Lin's entire consciousness.

"Aww...you..." Huo Lin only managed to utter a half-sounded protest before his eyes quickly became unfocused, his majestic body swayed, his hooves gave way, and he collapsed onto the scorching rocks, falling into a forced deep sleep.

"Noisy." Qi Lin withdrew his hoof, glanced indifferently at his younger brother who had suddenly quieted down, and then looked at the raging flames around him that were gradually calming down and becoming more orderly as Huo Lin's mind settled. Finally, he snorted with satisfaction.

That troublemaker has finally calmed down.

Next, we just need to wait for him to naturally merge with the essence of this place. When he wakes up, he will likely be completely transformed and more mature...

Right?

Thinking of this, Qi Lin's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
