No one supports my lofty ambitions; I will tread the snow to the mountain peak myself.

Xu Yunxin looked at the group of townspeople in front of him, who varied in height and build but moved in unison.

His body trembled slightly as if an electric current had passed through him, and a strange emotion surged within him.

He knew it was his turn to speak, whether it was a beautiful promise or a sincere heartfelt confession.

But this emotion welled up in his throat, making him choke.

He looked around. Yue Yinping was still the same deadpan figure, while Yue Shaohua was beaming with joy. Uncle Fu's face was full of satisfaction, and his eyes and brows were all smiles.

The townspeople in front of him looked solemn. This military salute, with a fist pounding into their hearts, meant that they were entrusting their lives and fortunes to him.

From this day forward, honor him as your master and obey his every command!

Xu Yunxin thought of countless things to say, but said nothing. Under everyone's gaze, he turned around gently, reached out and grabbed the tail of the "Yellow Armored Violent Scorpion" on the ground, and pulled hard.

This male "Yellow Armored Violent Scorpion" is nearly ten feet long and weighs almost a thousand pounds.

Even with his first-level Qi Refining cultivation, Xu Yunxin found it extremely difficult to pull him up.

He turned around, grabbed the top of the "Yellow Armored Violent Scorpion's" tail, and hoisted it onto his shoulder. He bent down slightly and tested it; it could be dragged.

"Let's all work together and transport this game back to town. We'll drink until we drop tonight!"

Xu Yunxin finally uttered his first words as the town lord of Qingxi Town.

This statement surprised everyone, yet it also made everyone feel close to it and filled them with joy.

"At the town lord's command, everyone come and move the prey!"

Uncle Fu was the first to respond, and he followed Xu Yunxin's example by pulling up a female "Yellow Armored Scorpion".

"At the town lord's command, tonight we'll drink until we drop!"

Zhao Laosan shouted loudly, trying to pull up the "Yellow Armored Scorpion" as well, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it. Instead, he used too much force and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"What are you all standing there for? Everyone, come and lend a hand!"

Zhao Laosan, thick-skinned and not ashamed at all, dusted himself off, got up, and called on the others to join in.

"Here we go!"

"Kid, don't make things worse, go and hug the little scorpion."

"Watch out for the scorpion's tail! Let me remove it before I move it!"

"Don't miss a single one; these are all top-quality meat!"

The townspeople quickly got to work and soon captured all the "Yellow Armored Scorpions".

Xu Yunxin smiled and waved, then took the lead in pulling the "Yellow Armored Scorpion" towards Qingxi Town.

"Back to town!"

At Uncle Fu's call, the townspeople, carrying loads on their shoulders and in their hands, with satisfied smiles on their faces, strode towards Qingxi Town as the sun was about to sink into the distant mountains.

......

That night, a large open space was cleared in the center of Qingxi Town, a bonfire was set up on the ground, and a grill was placed on the crackling bonfire, on which the meat of the "Yellow Armored Scorpion" sizzled and dripped oil.

Everyone sat around the fire, waiting for the banquet to begin.

The scorpion meat is ready, but the banquet has not yet begun.

Uncle Fu searched the entire town but couldn't find a single jar of wine, and he was sweating profusely with anxiety.

How poor is Qingxi Town? They're almost starving, how could they possibly have alcohol?

But the young master said that we must drink until we're drunk, so there must be plenty of wine at the banquet!

Xu Yunxin tried to persuade him once, but Uncle Fu was stubborn and insisted on looking again.

Finally, Yue Shaohua had a flash of inspiration and used the residue from the "Fragrant Fruit" left over from refining the "Clear Spirit Pill" to soak in water, finally managing to create a "wine" with a wine-like aroma.

With wine, then we can begin the feast.

Uncle Fu personally poured wine for everyone.

Xu Yunxin picked up his wine bowl and stood up, addressing everyone: "Gentlemen, I said when I came that I would treat this place as my home, but perhaps you still don't believe me, after all, this place is really terrible!"

He laughed and said, "Sister Ping's summary is quite good. Our Qingxi Town is indeed short of money and manpower. Even the town and my town lord's mansion are dilapidated."

The townspeople were amused by Xu Yunxin's self-deprecating remarks.

"But so what?"

"A teacher once taught me that even if you live in the gutter, you should still have the thought of looking up at the stars."

Even if no one supports my lofty ambitions, I will still brave the snow to reach the mountain peak!

Xu Yunxin's gaze swept across everyone's faces as he solemnly declared, "Gentlemen, as long as I, Xu Yunxin, remain the town lord of Qingxi Town, as long as I have meat to eat and wine to drink, I will not let you go hungry! If there is a battle, I will be the first to lead the charge. From now on, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you all, sharing both glory and shame!"

After saying this, Xu Yunxin tilted his head back and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, then turned the bowl upside down to show his sincerity.

"good!"

Everyone cheered and, following Xu Yunxin's example, raised their wine bowls and drank them down in one gulp.

The campfire burned brightly, casting a red glow on everyone's faces.

I don't know if it's the alcohol that's making me drunk, or if my heart is already intoxicated.

......

The next morning, Xu Yunxin woke up from his hangover.

This was the first time he had slept since he came into this world.

Although the wine Yue Shaohua made by soaking the residue of "fragrant fruit" in water was fake, it had a really strong aftereffect.

Even with his Druid physique as a backup, Xu Yunxin was still overwhelmed by the enthusiastic residents of Qingxi Town and got drunk. In the end, no one knows how he got back.

After meditating and adjusting his breathing for a while to get his body back in order, he meditated and cultivated for a while longer. He felt that the spiritual energy was thin and the cultivation speed was too slow, so he stopped and took out the box containing the "red mushroom" mycelium to check it.

A day and a night passed, and the spores of the "red mushroom" inside the box began to change, sprouting fine mycelium.

Xu Yunxin then channeled his spiritual energy to replenish the mycelium with the Druid's special spiritual energy, one by one. He then added some moisture to the box before sealing it and putting it back in its original place.

再打开系统一看，果然见到【职业：德鲁伊等级从原来的LV0（1.01/100）变成LV0（1.02/100）】

It has increased by another 0.01%.

Xu Yunxin opened the door with satisfaction and saw Uncle Fu sitting in meditation in front of the door.

Xu Yunxin couldn't help but complain, "Uncle Fu, why don't you just meditate inside? Why do you have to stand guard outside the door!"

Uncle Fu smiled and stood up. He neither argued nor responded, but instead changed the subject and reported on yesterday's results.

"Young master, the townspeople have already weighed it. This nest of 'Yellow Armored Violent Scorpions' yielded a total of 3,850 catties of meat, five intact carapaces, ten pairs of pincers, and ten scorpion stingers."

"This scorpion meat is rich in spiritual energy; it's all good stuff. If we store it in storage talismans, we won't be able to finish it even after a year."

Xu Yunxin knew that Uncle Fu was used to living frugally, and he meant that it was just the two of them eating.

He had his own plans for this matter and didn't need to explain it to Uncle Fu in detail for the time being.

"Scorpion shells are the most valuable, especially the male scorpion's shell; one set can sell for at least ten spirit stones!"

"Even the lower-quality female scorpions can sell for around eight pieces."

"The pincers are similar to a scorpion's tail, and one is worth about five spirit stones."

"After removing the scorpion meat, these materials are worth between 140 and 150 spirit stones!"

Uncle Fu's eyes gleamed with calculation; he wished another nest of "Yellow Armored Violent Scorpions" would fall from the sky for him to kill.
