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

"Snakes are known for their venom and agility, but they don't realize that a strong physique is the foundation of everything."

The voice of our ancestors was unhurried, as if stating a rule that had been proven countless times by time.

"As the saying goes, you are what you eat. In the past, there was a type of top-tier snake that could gain enhanced abilities by consuming certain prey."

His gaze fell upon Qingchen, deep and unfathomable, as if penetrating Qingchen's scales, flesh, and bones, reaching his very essence.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the way their gaze fell revealed everything.

At the same time, this statement inevitably reminded Qin Ming of Qing Chen's gains a few days ago—the new skill entries that the orchid eel transformed into after being devoured, and Qing Chen's almost instinctive eagerness when he ate the orchid eel.

Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he listened even more carefully.

His gaze was focused, and he memorized every word his ancestors had said, afraid of missing any crucial information.

The ancestor's eyes seemed to pierce through time, lingering for a moment in the deep darkness before he sighed softly, "But this kind of growth in ability is not without its limitations. One's own comprehension, physical strength, the parts of the prey and their combination, as well as the assistance and guidance of external resources and environment, will all have a certain impact on the outcome."

"It's not that you can get it just by eating it; you need to meet various conditions to activate that sliver of possibility."

He paused, as if giving Qin Ming time to process the information, before speaking slowly and deliberately: "You are just getting started, and everything is still in its early stages. You must not be impatient. Laying a solid foundation is the key. Without a firm foundation, no matter how fast you go, it will only be a castle in the air."

Then He changed the subject, "There are two experienced Xuanming Serpent Clan members here. Let them assess the situation first; prolonged indigestion is harmful to the body."

Both Qin Ming and Qing Chen blushed. Qing Chen lowered its head slightly, and even the tip of its tail obediently tucked in a little.

Qin Ming's ears burned. He had only thought that the orchid eel was very nourishing for Qing Chen, and he knew that snakes would digest slowly, but he hadn't really considered how to relieve the problem of indigestion.

He stood silently to the side, watching the two Xuanming Serpent Clan members step forward and begin to investigate in their unique way.

Two clansmen swam back and forth around Qingchen, occasionally gently touching his scales with the tip of their tails, and sometimes getting close to listen to the sounds inside his body.

After a thorough examination of the snake-race's unique characteristics—characteristics that Qin Ming couldn't possibly learn—they exchanged a glance and stated their conclusion.

"This young snake is a little weak, but fortunately it is highly active and has pure spiritual energy. The energy that has not yet been fully converted in its body is also continuously nourishing and improving its physical condition."

"With the aid of our clan's secret techniques, it can be completed flawlessly within half a month."

The terrifying pressure at the bottom of the sea is the most natural tempering for deep-sea creatures.

Our ancestors were not surprised by this.

On the contrary, the fact that it could be made up so easily surprised Him.

Based on His previous assessment, it should be quite a bit short. With Qingchen's second-tier aura and noticeably thin physique, it would take him some more time to reach a "solid" level.

However, the two clansmen just now concluded that he was "somewhat weak, but easily made up for," which means that his foundation is much more solid than originally expected.

He looked more closely, his gaze lingering longer on the slightly rounded, turquoise body.

His gaze swept over the gaps between the scales and the outline of the muscles, only to find that the muscles and scales were firm and tight, with a texture filled with real strength, rather than soft, flabby flesh.

This little green snake doesn't seem to be just chubby; it looks quite robust.

In less than 10 days, what exactly did he do?

The ancestor, who had initially taken the ten-day trial lightly, suddenly became somewhat curious.

He had initially considered many possibilities: perhaps Qin Ming would take Qing Chen to hunt some beautiful but unprofitable prey, or try to prove something through quantity, or simply find another shortcut, but none of these possibilities included "making a snake's physique undergo a qualitative change within ten days".

He waved away the two Xuanming Serpent Clan members, signaling them to leave first. The two bowed slightly and quietly withdrew from the hall.

The ancestor looked at Qin Ming quietly without saying a word.

Qin Ming inexplicably understood the deeper meaning behind the gaze.

He cleared his throat and slowly and deliberately uttered the words that he had already rehearsed in his mind.

He recounted Qingchen's hunting journey, the initial intention of the experiment and the adjustments made during the process, Qingchen's failures and reflections on improvement, and finally, the success.

His tone was calm and logical, and his pace was neither too fast nor too slow, as if he were organizing an experimental record, laying out the causes and consequences one by one.

As he narrated, the ancestor's calm expression slowly froze.

His eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, widened a little, and his gaze shifted from Qin Ming's face to Qing Chen, lingering over the seemingly simple scales.

It turns out the little green snake digests food quite quickly; this is the third blue eel he's eaten in recent days?

Was I lucky enough to improve my physical condition once?

Is this really something that was done in 10 days? That's a bit outrageous.

He silently compared Qin Ming's words with the actual situation before him and arrived at a more effective and faster progress trajectory than he had expected.

It's incredibly lucky that a kid who just broke through to the third tier could solidify his foundation to this extent in such a short time.

Good fortune is so unpredictable that even He can hardly fathom it.

However, with this foundation, and with the added support of arcane techniques, we can be more confident and bold in our subsequent growth pace.

"You did a good job, I'm very satisfied."

The ancestor spoke, his voice carrying an unusual gentleness, "I am giving you this secret technique ahead of schedule. While the two Xuanming Serpent Clan members are helping you to regulate your bodies, study it carefully."

As He spoke, He took out a piece of shimmering jade from the stone platform.

The jade stone is about the size of a palm, and its entire body shimmers with a bluish-green luster. It seems to contain a miniature deep sea, with flowing light slowly swimming within it.

The extraordinary aura of heritage is clearly visible to the naked eye, quietly emanating from the depths of the jade, carrying an ancient and warm texture.

Qin Ming's breathing became heavy.

He recognized that this heirloom jade was of top quality and could fully record the insights and experiences engraved upon it.

Qingchen's breathing also quickened. Although he didn't recognize it, he could feel the energy within it resonating with his own bloodline.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, but the Xuan Turtle Secret Realm will open in half a month. Although I've already given you a spot, it's still better for you to prove yourself and make things easier for you in the future."

His gaze shifted from Qin Ming to the tortoise shadow he had been carrying all the way, paused for a moment, and then said in a slightly teasing tone, "Little fat tortoise in your arms, now that you're awake, stop pretending to be asleep."

Qin Ming was taken aback. He looked down and met the little fat boy's eyes, which were only slightly open.
