Can Be Big or Small

Unable to waste any more time there, the four of them eventually returned empty-handed.

For the next three days, Xu Yunxin only dared to go to Qifeng Mountain during the day. Every time he went, he would ask Yue Yinping to come along, and they would bring six black dogs to clear the way.

If someone unaware of the truth saw him, they would think he was a spoiled brat walking his dog with a beautiful woman.

After three days of cultivation, the saplings planted in the nursery on the mountainside of Qifeng Mountain are growing well.

These saplings provided Xu Yunxin with 0.03 experience points for his Druid profession.

With the added experience points from the "Red Mushrooms" in the mushroom house, Xu Yunxin's Druid experience has increased to 1.11%.

After inspecting the saplings, Xu Yunxin, as usual, took out the scorpion meat of the "Yellow Armored Scorpion" and fed it to the black dog.

The feeding over the past few days has made the six black dogs look sleek and healthy, and they seem to regard Xu Yunxin more affectionately than Yue Yinping.

So much so that Yue Yinping secretly rolled her eyes countless times and secretly resolved never to work for Xu Yunxin for free again, and to make him come alone with the black dog tomorrow.

After descending from Qifeng Mountain, we saw dozens of strong men digging a river channel outside Qingxi Town.

They planned to divert the stream of Qingxi around the town, which would not only avoid most of the monsters' attacks, but also ensure that even if the barbarians came to "beg for alms," they would be able to make a good profit.

Most importantly, this method is very low-cost and does not require highly specialized personnel.

After saying goodbye to Yue Yinping and returning to the town lord's mansion, Uncle Fu asked him to report the expenses of the past few days.

The expenses mentioned are actually just the consumption of "Yellow Armored Scorpion" meat.

Only three to five days later, more than half of the original 3,000-plus catties of "Yellow Armored Scorpion" meat had been consumed, leaving only 1,400-plus catties.

In addition, Liu Qingshan also cut and processed the five "Yellow Armored Scorpion" carapaces and transformed them into wearable breastplates.

The five sets of "Yellow Armored Scorpion" carapaces were used to make a total of thirteen sets of thoracic armor, and the stingers of the young scorpions were also transformed into more than twenty poison arrows.

Xu Yunxin picked up a finished breastplate and examined it.

The breastplate was made simply by dividing the original half-zhang-sized carapace into suitable plates.

Then they drilled holes and used flexible ropes to splice the two plates together, one for the chest and one for the back—it wasn't very technically demanding.

However, even if the carapace of the "Yellow Armored Scorpion" is used as its back armor, its defensive capabilities are already quite good.

"Uncle Fu, here's what you do: take these armors to Yue Yinping and have her select thirteen strong men to form a hunting team to hunt monsters every day starting tomorrow. This will help clean up the area around the town and also alleviate the town's demand for monster meat."

This monster meat is rich in spiritual energy, and eating it every day is beneficial for cultivation and nourishing the body, which can largely solve the problem of the scarce spiritual energy in the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland".

Uncle Fu went to find Yue Yinping to form a hunting team, while Xu Yunxin went to the mushroom house to see the "red mushrooms" he was growing.

The red mushrooms in the mushroom house are almost fully grown, each one completely red, a sign that the "red mushrooms" are about to mature.

He only needs to let them grow for two more days until the spores under the caps of these "red mushrooms" mature before they can be harvested.

To be honest, the purpose of raising these "Red Mushrooms" was to win over ordinary warriors. Now that they have the meat of the "Yellow Armored Violent Scorpion", the need for "Red Mushrooms" is no longer so urgent.

The only thing worth looking forward to is whether these "red mushrooms" can provide him with a large wave of Druid experience once they have all grown up.

In addition, Xu Yunxin also plans to go out with the hunting team to hunt monsters in order to obtain more Origin.

His goal is clear: to cultivate crops and extract the essence from nature, to have both, and to walk on two legs.

He skillfully used his spiritual power to give "Red Mushroom" a spa treatment, and after gaining 0.01 experience points, he returned to the next room to meditate and ponder the functions of the Druid system.

[Master of World Tree Species: Xu Yunxin]

[Class: Druid LV0 (1.12/100)]

【Lifespan: 16/81】

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Stage 2]

[Destiny: Harmony with nature, absorption from nature.]

[World Tree Species: Golden Buddha Tree (White), Growth Rate 1.1%]

[Skill: Wild Transformation LV0 (2/100)]

[Origin: 7.05 stars (white)]

[Nature's Favor: None]

Consuming essence can increase job level, skill level, and growth rate.

Improving one's professional skills and knowledge of world tree species requires gradual accumulation; it's a slow and steady process that can't be rushed.

What's interesting is the description of the skill: Wild Transformation LV0 (2/100).

[Current skill level is zero. Can transform into a tree-like being for three breaths, can absorb natural energy, and sense the natural world; can sense the movement of grass and wind within a two-zhang radius.]

Xu Yunxin used the skill "Wild Transformation" twice, but each time it was used against enemies.

Although this skill is incredibly powerful, fighting has never been the Druid's forte.

He pondered for a while, thinking to himself: The skill description is very clear. After transforming into a tree person, one can first absorb natural energy, then perceive the heavens and earth, and then perceive the wind and grass within two zhang.

The entire skill description makes no mention of fighting.

In other words, his use of the skill "Wild Transformation" in combat is not the core usage of this skill!

As the darlings of nature, Druids can transform into trees, drawing energy from nature and sensing its pulse – perhaps this is the true purpose of the [Skill: Wild Transformation]!

I wonder if using the [Skill: Wild Transformation] to cultivate will result in a fast cultivation speed?

Xu Yunxin instinctively wanted to try it, but his transformation was too loud. The huge golden Buddha tree was dazzling and eye-catching. He was definitely the most handsome guy in the entire Qingxi Town when he appeared.

Before he even started practicing, Uncle Fu and the Yue sisters had already rushed over to check on the situation.

Furthermore, this [Skill: Wild Transformation] has a time limit. Using it once or twice is fine, but if it is used too often, a clever person with a keen eye will likely be able to grasp the key and find a way to counter it.

At that point, his trump card will become useless; it'll just be a gift to the opponent.

The Druid system is his core secret, and he will not reveal a single detail to anyone, no matter how close they are to him.

Actually, the best place is the summit of Qifeng Mountain, where it transforms into a golden Buddha tree in the middle of the summit. You can't see it from inside the town, but he really doesn't dare to go there now.

If only the Golden Buddha Tree transformed by this [Skill: Wild Transformation] could be smaller!

Xu Yunxin's heart stirred. The two times he transformed before, he was in danger and his mind was focused on how to eliminate the enemy. He didn't have time to carefully experience the transformation after it was done!

Since it's a transformation technique, it should be influenced by his will. Didn't he gather the tree branches he had transformed into and turn them back into a giant golden hand?

The mold is inanimate, but people are alive.

Want to try it?

Xu Yunxin decided to give it a try anyway.

This time, he didn't rush to use the [Skill: Wild Transformation], but first decided on the height of the Golden Buddha Tree he wanted to transform into before activating the skill.

With a flash of azure-gold light, a golden Buddha tree appeared in the backyard of the town lord's mansion in Qingxi Town.
