Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

During his seclusion, Gu Ming immersed his Divine Sense into Cyan Treasure’s body, observing its slowly rotating Qi Refining Vortex.

Inside the room, besides Gu Ming, Elder Huo, and Counselor Luo, were several other unknown High Tier Beastmasters. At this moment, they all held their breath, focusing their Divine Sense on the Qi Vortex within Cyan Treasure.

Cyan Treasure had absorbed such a massive and violent amount of terrifying Spiritual Memory Essence. Logically, even an Eight-star Pet Beast would have found it absolutely impossible to remain sane and conscious.

However, Cyan Treasure had become an unbelievable exception.

Not only was it untainted, but it had also maintained absolute rationality while continuing its Cultivation. It contained and sealed all of the chaotic Memory Essence within every single Magic Power Factor of its Qi Refining Vortex.

The moment their Divine Senses probed the outer edge of the Qi Vortex, they felt their own spirits tremble, as if they had touched something profound and dangerous.

But they had to keep observing, because this phenomenon was far beyond anything they had ever known.

Qi Refining Evolution was an unprecedented path to begin with, and Cyan Treasure was the only known successful case so far.

Furthermore, a groundbreaking paper on Qi Refining Evolution was scheduled for official publication this week.

Combined with Gu Ming’s pioneering feat upon his return from the Yichuan Ruins, this paper, published in a Peak journal, was bound to ignite a new wave of Cultivation fervor across the country.

Being on the front lines of education, these instructors were eager to come and observe, hoping to unravel the mysteries of the Qi Refining Vortex inside Cyan Treasure.

The more deeply they observed, the more they felt an indescribable sense of shock.

Vaguely, it was as if an indescribable giant butterfly, its form imperceptible but its wings flowing with the color of the sky, flitted gracefully through the depths of their memories, leaving a profound afterglow.

The Eight-star masters delved deeper into this feeling, attempting to obtain more Memory Fragments.

But it was like sand slipping through their fingers, vanishing completely.

When they came back to their senses, the feeling was gone. They hadn’t grasped anything at all.

This left everyone itching with curiosity, and the feeling was torturous.

At the same time, they vaguely realized that Cyan Treasure’s Qi Refining Vortex was filled with nothing but treasures.

It was Spiritual Memory Essence related to the Primordial Dream Butterfly. As long as Cyan Treasure was willing, it could be extracted into Memory Fragments for others to study and comprehend.

Despite this, they still couldn’t understand why that violent Spiritual Memory Essence could be controlled so easily by the Qi Refining Vortex.

’If our own Pet Beasts also embark on the path of Qi Refining Evolution, could they do the same?’

The professors’ hushed discussions grew more and more fervent.

Elder Huo couldn’t hold back either and asked Gu Ming, "Gu Ming, in your opinion, is it still possible for High Tier Pet Beasts like ours to switch to Qi Refining Evolution later on?"

Gu Ming was overwhelmed by the honor.

A titan of the Array Realm, an Eight-star Beastmaster, was actually asking him for guidance.

He was nowhere near qualified. He didn’t dare answer immediately, instead stealing a glance at the system’s bullet-comment screen.

He knew full well that with his current knowledge, it was impossible for him to advise an Eight-star master.

But from the system’s perspective:

It wasn’t Elder Huo setting aside his status to ask him for guidance.

Instead, it was Gu Ming humbly asking Elder Huo about the possibility of High Tier Pet Beasts achieving Qi Refining Evolution.

In the future, Qi Refining Evolution would be a cutting-edge Domain with successful cases; Cyan Treasure would not be the first in the country.

But a case like Cyan Treasure, capable of perfectly containing Spiritual Memory Essence within its Qi Vortex, was the first of its kind in the nation—a brand-new discovery.

It was Cyan Treasure’s pioneering achievement that led other Three-star Pet Beasts who had already undergone Qi Refining Evolution to follow its example, either by traveling to the Yichuan Ruins or by using nearby Spiritual Pet Beasts to capture Spiritual Memory Essence for experiments.

The results went without saying.

They all succeeded in storing the Spiritual Memory Essence within their Qi Refining Vortexes, using it as a brand-new type of Spiritual Attribute infusion material.

This opened up a whole new project for the research community: mass-producing Spiritual Pet Beasts by leveraging the special ability of the Qi Refining Vortex.

Due to Gu Ming’s influence, the future timeline had already been slightly altered.

The future Elder Huo had already exchanged experiences with the Masters in his circle who worked in this cutting-edge Domain. He learned that compared to traditional methods of cultivating an acquired Spiritual Attribute in a Pet Beast, this new technique could drastically reduce resource consumption.

However, for High Tier Pet Beasts, trying to get on board now was only a possibility; there were no successful cases yet.

Therefore, when Gu Ming asked Elder Huo for advice...

...in the system’s perspective, Elder Huo’s answer was just a helpless shake of the head, indicating that he knew very little and that the road ahead was long.

After reading the bullet comments, Gu Ming’s mind raced.

In reality, seeing Gu Ming fall silent in thought, Elder Huo was sure he was contemplating the question and didn’t disturb him.

’Cultivating a Spiritual Pet Beast?’

’Spiritual Element infusion material?’

A Flash of Inspiration struck Gu Ming’s mind as he caught on to this new information from the future.

’That’s it! Since this Spiritual Memory Essence from the Yichuan Ruins can’t affect Cyan Treasure’s Sea of Consciousness, it can be used as a spiritual material for its own benefit.’

In that case, he could try to cultivate a third Attribute specialty for Cyan Treasure: a Spiritual Attribute, following its Light Grass Dual Spiritual Roots.

A point worth mentioning here:

The Spiritual Attribute does not manifest as a physical Spiritual Root.

It refers to a Pet Beast’s sensitivity, affinity, and adaptability to the Power of the Spiritual Element.

Prolonged contact with the Memory Essence from the Yichuan Ruins—and not just contact, but direct absorption and storage via the Qi Refining Vortex.

Isn’t this the best possible material for cultivating a Spiritual Attribute?

No wonder the future masters would exclaim that he had pioneered yet another new cultivation path.

After organizing his thoughts, Gu Ming said to Elder Huo, "Teacher Huo, I don’t understand the bodies of High-star Pet Beasts. Besides, even if you let me examine one, I probably wouldn’t be able to offer any guidance."

"However..."

Hearing this, Elder Huo was first disappointed, but then Gu Ming piqued his interest. He pressed,

"However what?"

"Couldn’t I use Cyan Treasure as an example to start a new project? Everyone is studying it right now, we can’t let that research be for nothing."

Gu Ming hinted, using his Divine Sense to gesture toward Cyan Treasure’s Qi Refining Vortex.

Everyone was interested in Cyan Treasure’s Qi Refining Vortex.

But it was his Pet Beast; he couldn’t just let everyone study it all day long.

However, if he could turn this into a project and openly receive resources from the school, that wouldn’t be a bad idea.

After all, Gu Ming needed projects to justify his requests for special resources now. Otherwise, on what grounds would they give them to him?

Elder Huo hadn’t even reacted yet.

But a school leader, who had been circling Cyan Treasure for a long time, had already made the decision on the spot:

"An excellent idea! Let’s establish a project, with student Gu Ming at its core, to research the ’Cultivation Method for Spiritual Pet Beasts Based on Qi Refining Evolution’."

The other teachers were all specialists in their own fields. Their perspectives weren’t like the leader’s, who was looking directly at the systematic development of the entire Beastmaster academic world.

When he named the project directly, everyone understood.

That’s right. For Spiritual Memory Essence of this intensity to be stored harmlessly within a Qi Refining Vortex was no different from a treasure falling from the sky.

Cultivating new types of Spiritual Pet Beasts based on this principle would surely be fast and efficient.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed Gu Ming had once again pioneered a new system.

The way everyone looked at Gu Ming now held another layer of complex meaning.
