Chapter 216: Reclamation and Farming

Under the cover of night, in the silence of all things, Yang Fan led Liang Zishu and the others through several overgrown wastelands, and finally stopped in front of a piece of wasteland.

"Your goal tonight is to clear the land I just took you through and plant the vegetable seeds."

These wastelands belong to Grandma Xu, Grandma Yang, Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Zhang, Aunt Zhang's family, Grandma Zhou, and Li Wenlin, although many lands in the village have been rented to Yang Fan's family to grow fruit.

But there are still many plots of land that are left empty without vegetables because they could not be used to grow food before.

Liang Zishu pointed at the wasteland and then at the ghosts. "Stationmaster, are we the only ones?"

There are only a few ghosts coming out at this moment, and including her, there are only six or seven ghosts in total. They have to open up so much wasteland and plant seeds. This task may not be completed tonight.

"Of course there are more than just you." Yang Fan's eyes flickered.

She casually drew a ghost-summoning talisman, and within two seconds of the golden rune lighting up, two more ghosts appeared in the formation. They were Qian Cang and Yue Ya.

Qian Cang and Yue Ya saw that it was Yang Fan who summoned them, and were about to ask Yang Fan what he wanted to talk to them about.

The next second, Yang Fan was seen raising his hand to draw a talisman. The talisman array lit up, went out, and then lit up again. Old Man Liu and Old Man Chen appeared in the same place.

The two old men looked confused.

Yang Fan didn't explain and continued to summon ghosts one after another. She had a good memory and she remembered the horoscopes of most of the ghosts she had summoned before.

He recruited nearly ten people in a row, including Xi Jun who was flirting with a handsome guy.

Xi Jun's eyes went dark, and the handsome guy in front of him suddenly turned into a wrinkled old man, and the smile on his face gradually stiffened.

Hmm? Where's his handsome guy? Where's his big handsome guy? ? ! ! !

Before he was frightened by the sudden change of the scene, Old Man Liu was frightened by his overexerted face and cried out, "Ah! There's a ghost!"

Xi Jun: “…” You are the ghost and your whole family is ghosts.

No, he seemed to be a ghost.

He turned around and looked at Yang Fan who had called him over with a face full of resentment, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "What do you want from me? I didn't give you a bad review or complaint."

If he could beat her, he would definitely teach her a lesson. Humph! He missed out on such a handsome guy.

Thinking about that extremely handsome guy's eight-pack abs and that strong body, Xi Jun felt so heartbroken that he couldn't help himself. He was just one step away from success!

Xi Jun looked at Yang Fan with an even more resentful look.

The ghosts who were recruited looked at Yang Fan. Yes, they didn’t give bad reviews or complain. So why recruit them?

Yang Fan pointed to the wasteland behind and said, "I asked you to come and work."

In a few words, she explained what she had called them out to do.

When they heard that they were required to work and earn money, the ghosts were instantly happy. Even without express delivery, they can still work and earn money. Thanks to the webmaster!
Although Qian Cang and Yue Ya were not short of money and would occasionally go out to eat a lot of fruits, they would definitely not refuse if Yang Fan asked them to work.

Xi Jun thought about the handsome guy she had missed and bargained with Yang Fan, "I'm fine with the job, but I want two bunches of grapes."

Yang Fan turned the lightning wood in his hand and threatened him, "A bunch of grapes, do you have any objection?"

Her attitude seemed to be saying that if he dared to object, she would talk him through the situation.

Xi Jun: “…” A naked threat.

A bunch of grapes is just a bunch of grapes, why use a stick?

Nearly twenty ghosts worked in an orderly manner, reclaiming the wasteland and planting the seeds.

After arranging the work for the ghosts, Yang Fan took Yan Qing and Tang Yuanyuan to the strawberry and watermelon fields, with the little white tiger running happily behind her.

The ghost had planted the watermelon seeds before, and now the watermelon vines have grown out. Tang Yuanyuan asked, "Grandmaster, are we going to clean up the weeds here?"

Yang Fan asked him back, "Can you draw a growth charm?"

Tang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He realized what Yang Fan wanted to do.

I want to use the growth talisman to make these fruits and vegetables grow.

Yang Fan raised his head and gestured, "Then try to draw one."

"Grandmaster, I didn't bring any writing brush, ink, or yellow paper." Tang Yuanyuan: "I'll go back and get some now!"

After he said that, he turned and ran at a very fast speed.

Yang Fan turned to look at Yan Qing, "You try it."

Yan Qing looked eager to try, he had never tried to draw talismans out of thin air without any tools. He mobilized the spiritual power in his body and concentrated it on his fingers, concentrating his attention and trying to draw talismans in the air.

He pressed down with force with his fingertips, and golden light appeared in the air. As he moved, the golden light gradually took on strokes, but after only two strokes, the golden light suddenly disappeared.

His first attempt to draw talismans in the air ended in failure.

Yan Qing tried again, this time with more strokes, but soon failed.

There was no sign of frustration on Yan Qing's face, but instead he was full of excitement. Compared to before when he had to rely on tools to help him, being able to use his spiritual power to try to draw something was already a great improvement.

He tried it twice more, and each time he made more progress, but still failed.

Moreover, drawing talismans in this way consumed a lot of his spiritual energy. After only trying it a few times, he felt that more than half of his spiritual energy was consumed.

Yan Qing turned his head to look at Yang Fan, pursed his lips, "Grandmaster, I'm not good enough yet."

"Bring the yellow paper!" Tang Yuanyuan was very quick and got the talisman paper in just a short while.

Yang Fan stood at the side with his hands behind his back, "Use the growth charm to make this piece of watermelon grow."

"Okay, I'll try."

Tang Yuanyuan put the yellow paper and the brush and ink on the ground, took out a piece of yellow paper in his hand, dipped the brush in ink, held his breath, and began to draw the talisman.

The movements were smooth and seamless, and a growth talisman was drawn in one go. A golden light that was not very obvious to the naked eye flashed on the talisman paper, indicating that the talisman was successful, but the effect was low.

But Tang Yuanyuan was extremely satisfied. Now he could easily draw a usable talisman, which was much better than before.

He put down the brush, made some hand gestures and chanted a spell. Suddenly, his eyes became stern and he threw the talisman paper in his hand. The talisman paper ignited without fire when it touched the watermelon vine.

Then, in the sight of the three people, the vine grew visibly a little bigger, but it only grew a little bigger.

Tang Yuanyuan pointed at the vine and said excitedly, "Grandmaster, Uncle Master, look! It's grown!"

He is so amazing that he can make a watermelon grow vines with just this casually drawn growth symbol.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Yan Qing's eyes. Tang Yuanyuan has made a lot of progress compared to before.

He picked up yellow paper and a brush and drew a picture as well. He pinched his fingers and chanted a spell. The talisman paper flew out and covered the watermelon vines. It ignited without fire, and the watermelon vines grew rapidly.

The effect of the talisman drawn by Yan Qing was much better than that of Tang Yuanyuan. After a short while, a watermelon grew on the vine. The watermelon grew rapidly and soon grew to the size of a basketball.

Yan Qing squatted down, picked the watermelon, and broke it into two halves with force. The bright red flesh exuded the fragrance of watermelon.

Tang Yuanyuan clapped wildly, "Uncle Master is so awesome!"

Yan Qing handed half of the watermelon to Yang Fan, his eyes sparkling, like a little kid showing off his achievement.
