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

Although Qin Ming already had a preference in mind, he wasn't in a hurry to make a choice immediately. There was still time; he could definitely learn more about the situation in person.

These professors who have scheduled appointments recently are busy making arrangements. In other words, you can find them at the academy without needing an appointment or waiting in line; just walk in.

Qin Ming originally planned to visit the places along the way in order of distance, but he was stopped before he even left the house.

Or rather, using "block" is not appropriate.

Several very well-dressed people greeted him in a very gentlemanly and polite manner.

The leader was a man in his early twenties, dressed in a well-tailored blue robe with the emblem of the Array Academy pinned to his chest. He had a gentle smile and impeccable manners, looking like someone who had stepped out of an etiquette textbook.

Two young people, a man and a woman, followed behind them, both dressed neatly, clearly having come prepared.

Even Qin Ming couldn't ignore the presence of those who were smiling at him.

"This handsome and dignified junior must be Qin Ming, right?" The leading man bowed slightly, his tone sincere rather than polite.

Qin Ming's lips twitched. This opening was way too formal.

"Our mentor sent us to wait here and guide you." The man stepped aside, and Qin Ming saw a large, snow-white bird—a Nine-Sky Luan Bird—perched outside. Its feathers were like clouds, and its posture was elegant. It was quietly waiting here.

In modern times, this would be considered the treatment of a luxury car waiting for you, with a driver and assistant accompanying you.

Qin Ming really couldn't refuse.

The Nine-Sky Luan Bird is a gentle and noble-looking spirit beast, extremely fast and with stable flight. The fact that the Array Academy is willing to use it demonstrates their considerable sincerity.

Finally, the Nine Heavens Phoenix carried them directly into a courtyard.

The courtyard was small, but exquisitely decorated. Bluestone paved the ground, verdant bamboo provided shade, and a pool of clear water reflected the sky and clouds, with several koi swimming slowly in the water.

Without any artificial embellishment, it possesses a natural beauty that seems to have been brought directly from the mountains and fields.

In the courtyard, two elderly men were playing chess. One wore a blue robe, and the other a gray robe; both had white hair and beards, but were in good spirits.

The chessboard was placed on the stone table, and the two players each held a piece of one color. They moved their pieces very slowly, pondering each move for a long time.

One of them looked quite familiar to Qin Ming; he was the proctor he had met a few days ago on the top floor of the array tower.

"You've arrived? Come closer and take a look."

The old man in the green robe, who was also the examiner, didn't even raise his head; he simply waved to Qin Ming.

As Qin Ming approached, he realized that what they were playing was not chess, but a battle of formations.

Each piece on the chessboard is a miniature formation. White pieces represent offensive formations, and black pieces represent defensive formations.

The player with white tries to break down the opponent's defensive system, while the player with black tries to maintain the integrity of the formation. The two players take turns placing pieces, and with each move, the energy distribution on the board changes, and the offensive and defensive dynamics shift accordingly.

One person was trying to break the formation, while the other was maintaining it.

It is generally easier to destroy than to create, but once a high-level formation with spirituality and interlocking elements is formed, it is no longer fragile.

Like a finely woven net, if you cut one thread, the others will automatically tighten and fill the gap.

The two were competing in their understanding and mastery of advanced formations. Qin Ming only observed for a few steps before he seemed to gain some insight.

The feeling was like standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world. Questions that I couldn't figure out on my own suddenly became clear when the two old men made their moves.

So this array pattern can be used in this way, and there's another way to handle that node.

What made him even more enlightened was that the materials of the chess pieces and chessboard used by these two were actually of yin and yang attributes.

The chess pieces are translucent jade, one gleaming with a faint white light, the other radiating a soft silver glow. The chessboard, on the other hand, is carved from a single piece of spirit jade, its surface shimmering with black and white halos.

This material is extremely rare; Qin Ming had only ever seen it recorded in ancient books. A spiritual material with Yin-Yang attributes, it naturally possesses the property of harmonizing opposing energies, making it a core material for crafting high-level complex formations.

Furthermore, the Yin attribute of Yin and Yang, in other words, is the extremely refined and top-tier Moon attribute!

Qin Ming's eyes slowly brightened. The fact that they could use this to simulate something meant the Array Academy definitely didn't lack moon-attribute resources!

The resource list he had spent half a day browsing was nothing compared to the material of the chessboard in front of him.

Unexpectedly, it came to me without any effort at all?

He suppressed his excitement and continued watching the game calmly.

The two old men exchanged moves for more than a dozen rounds. Finally, the player with white broke the stalemate with a brilliant series of attacks, shattering the defensive array on the chessboard layer by layer, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.

……

"Century-old deer antlers, ginseng, lingzhi... what else is missing?" Huo Lin casually counted the spoils in front of him, his claws poking at each item as if he were picking out cabbages.

They stood in a deep, ancient forest, surrounded by towering trees and hanging vines. The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, soft and yielding underfoot. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the tree canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

"That's about enough. It's getting late, we should hurry back. If we really need anything, we can come back tomorrow to get it." Cang Xuan calmly looked around.

"Mmm." The black hole perched on Cang Xuan's head, its little head bobbing up and down, its tentacles swaying along with it.

Even though Little Fatty stayed behind, they still felt that going out together was too conspicuous, so they decided to take turns coming out.

Cangxuan's wood-type perception is really useful in the jungle environment, which is why he took the lead today.

Qin Ming drank the bowl of highly nourishing soup without knowing anything about it.

When I returned to the dormitory in the evening, Chef Huang personally brought over a clay pot, saying, "Little Fatty asked me to stew this."

Without much thought, Qin Ming opened the pot lid, and a rich aroma wafted out. The broth was clear, and the ingredients were stewed until tender, falling apart at the slightest touch of chopsticks. He took a sip, and the deliciousness made his eyebrows practically fly off.

The ingredients were stewed until they were so tender that he couldn't even tell what the raw materials were; he only knew that the taste was exceptionally delicious. After finishing a bowl, he felt warm all over, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

In the evening, Qin Ming finally felt relieved that the matter that had been on his mind had been resolved, and he planned to adjust his schedule and take good care of his health.

After washing up, he changed into his pajamas, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes... and felt refreshed.

I toss and turn, unable to sleep.

I tossed and turned again, but still couldn't fall asleep.

He was not only awake, but even a little excited, not at all like someone who had stayed up for several nights! Could it be that he had overdone it?

He tossed and turned in bed like a fish that had been fried on both sides.

The spirit beasts who had been secretly observing exchanged glances. Although they were disappointed, they quickly cheered up.

"Ugh, I told you a hundred-year-old medicine wouldn't be effective enough. Let's find a thousand-year-old one tomorrow!"

"Hey, I support that!"
