Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

Chapter 560 539: Tempering the Pill

"You have received cultivation advice from two Eight-star Beastmasters."

"Tang Tianyi recommends a synergistic approach starting with the two systems, Shadow-Binding Thousand Machines and Blazing Sun Shatters Illusion. The goal is to condense a Blazing Shadow Pill within the body, using it as a core to contain and harmonize the Light and Dark Dual Element Spiritual Power, thus forging an extraordinary Dao Foundation..."

"Plan executor: Professor Weng Fa.

He will impart the Shadow-Lock Cage skill and further develop the Blazing Light Fist system, deducing the higher-tier Blazing Light Mountain-Breaking Fist.

Through specific skill combinations and high-intensity combos, the Spiritual Power quality of the Blazing Shadow Pill can be continuously quenched and purified."

A flash of joy crossed Gu Ming's eyes.

The plan provided by the system overlapped with the one Teacher Tang had formulated in reality by more than eighty percent.

This undoubtedly confirmed the foresight and accuracy of Teacher Tang's thinking.

The remaining twenty percent difference was mainly concentrated in the specific execution details handled by Professor Weng—

The system's plan placed special emphasis on using specific move sequences to proactively refine the Inner Core's purity, a more efficient and proactive quenching technique.

'It seems that even in the eyes of those future teachers, guiding Ah Ji to evolve into a Light and Dark Body is an extremely stable path with a clear future.'

Gu Ming thought to himself.

But as he continued to read, he realized his understanding was still shallow.

"Ah Ji possesses the potential of a Chaos Creature. Merely cultivating Light and Dark Dual Element techniques is not enough to fully stimulate its constitutional advantages."

"The Blazing Shadow Pill is merely the first step toward forging the Chaos Golden Core.

Professor Weng Fa had intended to personally oversee the deep development of Ah Ji's Chaos traits, but a major discovery regarding the Sound of the Nian Beast in the Inner World required his full attention. Unable to be present long-term, he can only provide periodic assistance."

"So that's how it is..."

Realization dawned on Gu Ming.

He should have known that a plan jointly drafted by two Eight-star Beastmasters would never stop at simple energy fusion.

The words "Chaos Golden Core" were like a lighthouse piercing through the fog, instantly illuminating Ah Ji's future evolutionary path. Many of his once-vague ideas instantly became clear.

「The Flying Shuttle arrived at Celestial Secret University.」

On campus, all sorts of sophisticated machinery and aircraft zipped about in an orderly fashion, exuding the cool texture of future technology everywhere.

Gu Ming, with a curious Ah Ji in tow, followed Professor Weng Fa to an exclusive, heavily guarded laboratory filled with top-of-the-line equipment.

"Come out, Magnetic Poles Duostar."

Professor Weng called out softly.

His main Magnetic Element Pet Beast appeared—not ordinary stones, but two strange magnets shaped like five-pointed stars, with a space between them.

The two magnets attracted, orbited, and rotated around each other at a constant rate, forming a dynamically balanced miniature force field.

Gu Ming could clearly perceive the vast, Seven-star level Spiritual Power surging within it.

Under Professor Weng's control, the Magnetic Poles Duostar slowly began to channel its power.

A low, steady hum spread out, and an invisible, precise magnetic field instantly enveloped Ah Ji.

Under the pressure of this force, Ah Ji's form solidified slightly. A penetrating pressure covered its body evenly, slowly seeping into its meridians and acupoints.

This was the most basic physical constitution scan and energy field adaptation.

Afterward, Professor Weng briefly explained the subsequent arrangements to Gu Ming:

He would personally guide the initial high-pressure quenching. Gu Ming just needed to help Ah Ji steady its mind, adapt to the pressure, and guide the flow of energy according to the Chaos Breathing Technique.

Gu Ming nodded solemnly.

And so, the half-month-long High-Pressure Quenching Pill process began.

The process was long and tedious.

Professor Weng only provided detailed guidance and set the parameters on the first day. The subsequent quenching then entered a fully automated, continuous operational state.

He, on the other hand, devoted all his energy to the final revisions and publication of his paper on the Sound of the Nian Beast.

...

「Half a month flew by in an instant.」

The latest issue of the top international Beast Taming academic journal, *Peak*, was released.

Once the paper titled *A Preliminary Exploration of the Collection and Analysis of the 'Sound of the Nian Beast' in the Inner World and its Correlation with Real-World Legends* was published, the entire academic world was in an uproar.

As a co-first author of the paper, Gu Ming, who was at the center of the storm, naturally attracted countless inquiries and a great deal of attention.

Even within Celestial Secret University, many students and researchers, drawn by his fame, came hoping to visit this suddenly prominent young Beastmaster.

However, Professor Weng turned all visitors away, stating, "This is a critical phase of the experiment. Do not disturb."

At that moment, Gu Ming was completely focused on Ah Ji's quenching progress.

Meanwhile, his other Pet Beast, Cyan Treasure, had not stopped its cultivation either.

Although Gu Ming remained at Celestial Secret University to accompany Ah Ji, he maintained close contact with Mr. Huo over the internet, jointly advancing Cyan Treasure's Form Evolution cultivation plan.

In reality, Cyan Treasure was originally just an ordinary Little Cyan Snake.

But the complexity within its body far exceeded that of a normal evolutionary path:

Its Light Grass Dual Attribute Spiritual Roots were constantly growing, and miraculous seeds like the Rootless Wood continuously fed it essence within its Dantian.

In addition, there was the already constructed Foundation Establishment Platform and the coalescing Qi Refining Vortex...

Multiple, completely different power systems coexisted and intertwined within its body.

Elder Huo had clearly pointed out:

Cyan Treasure's current primary task was not to rush its Form Evolution. Instead, it needed to use a meticulously designed, complex spirit-fusing array to sort, guide, and merge the scattered and chaotic powers within its body one by one, consolidating them into a single, unified, and powerful force. This would significantly increase its overall strength and energy level.

Form Evolution was no easy task. If it didn't integrate its own powers, exploring external form evolutions would be difficult.

But merely constructing and harmonizing the array was already a massive undertaking.

As for the direction of its Form Evolution, although Elder Huo didn't recommend pursuing it now, he still offered some advice:

Have Cyan Treasure engage in more practical combat with various snake-type Pet Beasts, and even higher-level serpentine Fierce Beasts.

Winning or losing was unimportant. The key was to feel the surging Blood Qi, the circulation of Spiritual Power, the shifting Body Techniques, and even the unique Dao Charm of different snake species during close-quarters combat. From this, it could comprehend the natural creation inherent to snakes, understand the path it must take, and walk a unique evolutionary road.

As Gu Ming digested his teacher's knowledge, a bolder idea popped into his head.

'According to the system's judgment, Cyan Treasure is essentially a Time Dragon, with the outward appearance of a Grass and Wood Flood Dragon.'

'If it's going to observe and learn, the most ideal subjects would naturally be real Dragon Race Pet Beasts.'

'It's just that a suitable Dragon Race opponent is a rare find.'

He planned to take both Pet Beasts out to look for real combat opportunities once Ah Ji's pill quenching was complete.

Of course, he could first make use of the Dragon Race battle data accumulated from previous competitions and the simulated combat experience in the Dream Cultivation Space to let Cyan Treasure familiarize itself with and comprehend the way of the dragon ahead of time.

But that was far from enough.

He needed to find a more direct and profound opportunity for Cyan Treasure.

Without a doubt, compared to Ah Ji, with its excellent foundation and clear path, Cyan Treasure's evolutionary journey was much more arduous.

Even Ah Kun had an inherited Combat Technique like the Wave-Swallowing Technique, which came with its own high-tier guidance.

Ah Ji possessed Light and Dark Dual Spiritual Roots, and the evolutionary atlas for the Cat Demon race was relatively complete, with many case studies, so evolving its form wasn't difficult.

But Cyan Treasure started from the lowest-level Cyan Snake, with few innate options and a very low upper limit.

Now, every step it took forward was a venture into uncharted territory, exploring new possibilities for its entire species. It was truly a trailblazer.
