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

Before long, a very detailed reply arrived.

Qin Ming initially thought the computer was stuck when he saw "Loading", but before he knew it, the screen was covered with annotations in less than half a cup of tea's time.

Not only did it point out his minor mistakes in his haste, but it also added several identification methods!

The identification methods were written in an extremely professional manner, from the subtle differences in energy fluctuations to the texture characteristics of the material surface, with clear organization and rigorous argumentation.

Even if you can't verify it on the spot, you know it's not fake!

Qin Ming's skill level was naturally extraordinary. He could tell at a glance that the response level of this intelligent platform was comparable to one-on-one tutoring!

No, he's even better than an ordinary tutor. The vision and knowledge revealed in those annotations are at least those of a master of formations.

I wonder who compiled this question bank. The foundation of Azure Dragon Academy is indeed unfathomable.

Qin Ming secretly admired it; no wonder it took a little longer.

After all, it's worth it!

This is much more convenient and faster than the highly competitive Q&A sessions with renowned professors that everyone in the academy is vying for.

He suddenly had the idea of ​​filling in and trying other types of resources one by one.

Unfortunately, a message popped up on the screen: "Resources are being distributed; cancellation failed."

Qin Ming sighed regretfully and waited quietly.

Accompanied by a soft light, three materials were displayed on the platform: Sand of Time, Dew of Years, and Scales of Eternity.

Although he wasn't given any legendary resources like Time Crystals and Reincarnation Petals, he knew the chances were slim when he filled in the form, and he figured the academy wouldn't squander them like this even if they did.

But Qin Ming was already hoping for the best, so he filled it out casually. After all, what if? What if there was something there?

Seeing the actual product is good for broadening one's horizons, but ultimately, the right to use it or not is up to him.

However, if he were actually given the gift, he would have to force himself to resist the temptation and not try it, which is quite painful to think about.

Time Crystals are said to freeze time. Reincarnation Petals are rumored to allow one to regress to a past state.

I wonder what a magnificent sight it will be when it is truly activated.

However, the academy's provision of three items—Time Sand, Dew of Time, and Eternal Scales—is quite generous!

Qin Ming had only intended to give one item; giving two would be a bonus.

Time Sand, contained in a transparent glass bottle, has fine, dust-like grains that shimmer with a pale golden light.

The Dew of Time is contained in a small jade bottle. The moment the stopper is opened, a timeless fragrance wafts out, making one feel as if time has slowed down.

The Eternal Scale is the most dazzling. Its scales are the size of a fingernail, and its entire body is silvery white. Its surface shimmers with a watery luster. It feels heavy in your hand, like a small piece of time frozen in time.

The resources of time are mysterious and profound. If one is encountering them for the first time, a formation master will inevitably feel lost and have nowhere to start.

The energy of the time attribute differs from that of the other five elements; it is inert.

Because its interaction with the outside world is fleeting, like a flash in the pan, it is hard to find again.

However, Qin Ming was different. The last one he came into contact with was the Leaf of the Brahma. Although its grade was not as good as the three things in front of him, its essence was the same.

Initially, we didn't dare to experiment with the unique material.

However, Xiaopang's subsequent cultivation was excellent, and Qin Ming spent a long time studying it. But as a seedling that could grow, it would be too wasteful to consume it directly, so he didn't take action.

But that doesn't mean he didn't study it properly. He had a lot of ideas, and he was even more dedicated than the chubby kid who only knew how to slack off and water the plants!

He had done detailed calculations and records of the energy fluctuations over time, the compatibility with various existing formations, and the compatibility with other materials!

It's just a pity that he was still confident in integrating the Sands of Time and Dew of Years into the formation.

Furthermore, the Eternal Scales have such a high energy concentration that they must be based on the structure of an advanced formation.

Once a high-level formation with time attributes is created, its difficulty rivals that of a master; it's not so quick to commit suicide.

Let alone someone who has just stepped into the advanced stage, even a veteran who has been immersed in this field for more than ten years would not dare to say that he can succeed.

Qin Ming could only touch the Eternal Scale and reluctantly put it back.

The touch was as warm and smooth as jade. The moment his fingertips slid across the surface of the scales, he could even feel a distant energy pulsating within them, which was simply seducing him!

Qin Ming took a deep breath, put it back on the platform, and forced himself not to look at it anymore.

Choice, choice, only by giving up can you gain.

Qin Ming gathered his thoughts, placed the Time Sand and Dew of Time in front of him, closed his eyes, and carefully calculated and deduced the next formation arrangement in his mind.

Time passed second by second.

Inside the observation room, the two elderly men held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the psionic screen.

"This kid has a sliver of rationality amidst his madness, a glimmer of hope even in a seemingly hopeless situation. He's a real pain!"

Old Xian stroked his long beard, unusually serious. "I originally thought that with such a huge appetite, if he tried all three, he was bound to fail. But it turns out he was willing to give up the Eternal Scale!"

Elder Zhen did not respond.

His gaze fell on Qin Ming's furrowed brows, on the fingers gesturing in the air, and on his calm and focused expression.

"He knows what he's doing," was the only reply Zhen Lao ultimately gave.

Old Xian grunted in agreement, stopped drinking his tea, and stared intently, determined to recoup his earlier effort!

Qin Ming opened his eyes.

Having mentally rehearsed the draft several times, he calmly began to write.

There was no probing, no hesitation, only absolute certainty.

The moment the pen tip touched the array surface, the sand of time was drawn by spiritual power, flowing along the pen tip and leaving a pale golden trail on the array surface.

Various bizarre and strange lines were written methodically by the young man.

Every stroke lands precisely where it should, and every stroke flows so smoothly it's as if it's been drawn a thousand times.

The process was so smooth and effortless that even those unfamiliar with the field could feel its effortless ease.

"This kid has a very strong foundation," Old Xian couldn't help but exclaim. "Look at the rhythm of his brushstrokes, neither too fast nor too slow, with even pressure. You can tell he's put in a lot of hard work. You can't develop this kind of feel for it without years of daily practice."

Master Zhen nodded: "What's even more remarkable is this feel and rhythm. The former is diligence, the latter is talent. How can someone who lacks neither not succeed?"

Even though the formation was not yet complete, the two mentors who were secretly observing had already shifted their stance.

The actions of the two were foreseeable by outsiders, and Qin Ming, as someone directly involved, naturally had a strong premonition as well.

The still-energy rhythm, the incredibly solid base of the formation… Qin Ming stole a glance at the idle Eternal Scale.

That luster, that aura—you must resist!

I couldn't resist taking another glance.

The silvery-white scales lay quietly in the storage box, and Qin Ming could clearly see the shimmering light flowing across their surface.

It was there, waiting, neither too close nor too far.

Qin Ming gritted his teeth and looked away.

He's not that stubborn; he could just use it directly. But the fact that he can't use Eternal Scales directly doesn't mean he's out of options.

His original technique for adding strokes still has plenty of room to be developed!

After the main structure of the formation is completed, additional patterns are added in positions that do not affect the internal balance in order to seek additional benefits.

This skill, which seems absurd to outsiders, is something he seems to have been born with, and he's never afraid of it!

So when the array plate was stable enough, he began to carefully trace it with one eye open.

He had a complete grasp of every detail of the Eternal Scale: its length-to-width ratio, energy flow, node spacing, and so on.

Use your thoughts as a pen, and take action!
