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

"Fire Kirin, you're back! How was your breakthrough?"

Upon returning, Qin Ming noticed the difference in the dormitory. Looking at the red spirit beast, which was still only the size of a cat, his surprise almost overflowed from his eyes.

Fire Kirin lazily flicked its tail, raised its head and strolled over. As for its own situation, it had nothing to hide.

"I'm halfway to the ninth level. The final fusion with heaven and earth takes too much time, so I sent a clone to keep you company."

Qin Ming was stunned.

Half a step into the ninth rank. These four words floated lightly from the mouth of the Fire Kirin, yet they represented the ultimate dream of countless spirit beasts, a limit they sought their entire lives but could never reach.

What a lucky guy.

but……

"At this crucial moment, won't your presence hinder your breakthrough?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly. Although he was touched, he was also somewhat worried. Breakthroughs for high-level spirit beasts were always dangerous and difficult, and the slightest mistake could leave hidden dangers.

"Relax." Fire Kirin retracted its claws, lay down on the spot, and its tail swayed gently behind it. "There's nothing dangerous. At most, the clones won't be able to exert their maximum energy, and you'll need to rest and recuperate regularly."

That's alright.

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Lin had always loved to sleep, so there wasn't much difference.

Huo Lin seemed to see through his thoughts, and snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not refute him.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping across the room, before turning to Qin Ming.

"I left in a hurry earlier. How did your academy's insane assessment go? Was there any old man you didn't like? Make a note of him, and I'll help you get revenge later!"

Huo Lin's eyes flashed, and he exuded an imposing aura.

It's really kind of you to remember this.

Qin Ming's lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, it's not that exaggerated."

The assessments over the past few months have indeed been quite challenging, and sometimes the difficulty was even increased in a targeted manner, but it's really not like I dislike anyone.

Although his mentors were strict, they never held back when it came to giving guidance, and he benefited greatly from it, so there was really no need to be petty about it.

Huo Lin glanced at it suspiciously, as if trying to confirm whether it was the truth.

Qin Ming nodded seriously.

Alright. Fire Scale reluctantly accepted this answer, its tail drooping again. "Aww, then let them go for now."

While Huo Lin and Qin Ming were chatting, a sacred deer that was passing by happily froze in the corridor outside the door.

His left and right eyelids started twitching early this morning, and feeling uneasy, he decided to come and check on him. Little did he know, his ominous premonition would come true here.

The sacred deer's ears perked up, and its pupils contracted slightly.

That familiar aura... although it had been concealed, he was absolutely certain he wouldn't mistake it, and it was even more terrifying than before he left.

Without a second thought, he tiptoed back the way he came, his four hooves landing as lightly as if he were stepping on cotton, and he even held his breath.

Qin Ming couldn't sense any movement outside the door, but Huo Lin seemed to sense something. He turned around and glanced back, his gaze seemingly piercing through the wall.

However, he hadn't seen Qin Ming for so long that he didn't care about this little incident, so he turned his attention back to Qin Ming.

"Although I know I've seen plenty of good stuff, Little Fatty has been developing new things lately and has even teamed up with the academy's chef to launch new delicacies."

Qin Ming got up, walked to the storage cabinet in the corner of the room, opened the cabinet door, and saw a row of food boxes neatly stacked inside.

"Okay, we've saved one for you. Would you like to try some?"

"With the cultivation of Cangxuan, the breeding of Xiaopang, and the scales of Heidong, it can be considered a gift from everyone."

He took out the food boxes one by one, opened the lids, and immediately, a rich aroma filled the entire room.

The Jade Spirit Fish Soup has a clear broth, and the fish meat is as white as jade, garnished with a few pieces of emerald green spirit herbs.

The roasted pigeon is golden and crispy with a glossy sheen, and the aroma of spices is overwhelmingly strong.

Five-Colored Mushroom Stew: Five colors of oyster mushrooms are sliced ​​into even, thin pieces and stewed together, resembling a painting.

Ice Heart Snow Lotus Cake is a crystal-clear pastry with a whole snow lotus embedded in it, making it look anything but ordinary.

These are all rare items that are not for sale!

Huo Lin's eyes lit up instantly.

He certainly has no shortage of good things; he has eaten all kinds of delicacies.

However, Little Fatty's space-based breeding has a unique and genuine flavor, and when paired with the cooking of a top-notch spirit chef, it becomes an entirely different experience.

From the last glass koi fish, Huo Lin could tell that Xiao Pang was very talented!

He grinned, revealing a bright smile, then lowered his head and, like a bottomless pit, swallowed plate after plate of delicacies.

Qin Ming sat beside him, watching with a smile.

These expensive delicacies, some even believed to enhance cultivation, disappeared before his eyes one by one, yet he felt no heartache.

Because, Fire Scale, is worth it.

This is also a welcome banquet that everyone has worked together to prepare.

Huo Lin devoured all the food boxes in one go before stopping, satisfied. He stuck out his tongue and licked the grease from the corner of his mouth, then scratched his belly, a contented smile spreading across his face.

"Actually, I brought you gifts too!"

"Oh?" Qin Ming leaned forward, feigning curiosity, providing ample emotional value.

He knew that the more expectant he appeared, the happier Huo Lin would be.

Sure enough, Huo Lin's face remained expressionless, but his tail curled up even higher.

"Although the place where I broke through was rather desolate, and the journey back was too rushed, I didn't find anything good. But!" He paused, a sly glint in his eyes, "I managed to steal some of my brother's fur and scales!"

After saying that, Huo Lin's claws lit up, and he conjured up several items with extraordinary auras out of thin air.

A tuft of bluish-green hair, supple and smooth, each strand shimmering with rich moisture, seemingly a concentrated essence of the ocean.

Three palm-sized scales, a deep indigo blue, with fine, flowing patterns on their surface, vaguely conveying a vast energy, like the deep sea or the night sky, captivating the viewer.

It's definitely a good product.

But it looks so fresh!

The hair roots still had a little bit of skin attached, and the edges of the scales were even a little damp, which didn't look like it had fallen off naturally at all!

Qin Ming rubbed his forehead, staring at the excessively novel object before him, stammering, "You...your brother...he..."

"Oh dear, he patted me, I couldn't just not fight back!" Huo Lin knew exactly what Qin Ming was going to say. He raised his head confidently, his eyes full of smugness. "You need to bring back some decent souvenirs, right? I knew you'd like these!"

Qin Ming: "..."

He really couldn't refute that.

After a three-second silence, he quietly placed a few scales into the jade box and then carefully collected the fur.

In the silence, Huo Lin's ears twitched slightly.

"Qin Ming, it's quite lively over here. What's all this talk about, academy exchange?"

"Hmm." Qin Ming was still busy collecting valuable supplies, so he just gave a casual reply.

"There are still people complaining about how they only let you participate, and even saying they'd give you special treatment. Isn't that hilarious?"

"Hmm... Ah!?" Qin Ming raised an eyebrow, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.
