Xuan Yi ignored the villagers' discussions and went to the back mountain by himself.

Chen Yuanbao put his hands in his pockets, smiling broadly, but in his heart he had already opened his spiritual eyes.

After reaching the back of the mountain, Xuan Yi stood at the edge of the most difficult rocky patch.

This plot of land is the worst of the thirty acres on the back hill. The ground is covered with fist-sized stones, the soil layer is very thin, and sparks will fly when you dig with a hoe.

Jiang Wenyuan's excavator did not start digging on this piece of land first; it worked on a better location nearby.

After Xuan Yi stood still, he closed his eyes and formed a hand seal.

He started muttering to himself:

"Lord Laozi, may your command be fulfilled immediately..."

He pulled a stack of yellow talismans from his pocket and scattered them into the air with a "whoosh".

After tracing an arc in the air, the yellow talismans drifted down one by one onto the rocky ground.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yi swung his short sword—

"Imperial Edict!"

After a soft shout, the falling yellow talismans burst into flames!

The yellow flames quickly ignited and burned the talisman to ashes in an instant.

The moment the ashes hit the ground—

"boom!"

The entire patch of rocky ground trembled, as if it had been slapped.

Then, one fist-sized stone after another slowly sank down!

In less than half a minute, the originally bumpy stone ground became very smooth!

The soil has become very soft; you can sink halfway into the sole of your shoe with one step.

Holy crap!

"My God!!!"

"A deity has descended to earth!!!"

The villagers who were watching were stunned.

Li Fugui stood at the back of the crowd, leaning on his cane, his face turning pale and then flushed.

The workers on Jiang Wenyuan's side also stopped what they were doing and stared at this place from afar, their jaws practically dropping.

Jiang Wenyuan frowned and walked over from a distance.

Chen Yuanbao stood on the edge of the field, a simple and honest smile on his face, his mind racing.

As soon as he opened his spiritual eyes, he saw it very clearly.

Xuan Yi used "spiritual talisman to open the earth," a method in Taoism. It involves using the spiritual energy in the talisman to activate the earth's energy, temporarily loosening the soil.

but--

Under the spiritual gaze, Xuan Yi's expression was not good. His attack just now had almost emptied the spiritual energy in his dantian. At this moment, he stood there, outwardly putting on a profound and unfathomable appearance, but he was already sweating profusely.

Moreover, Xuan Yi's move can only last for three days at most. After three days, once the "earth energy" in the soil is exhausted, the soil will become hard again.

but--

Chen Yuanbao smiled broadly.

It won't take three days. After the ground is leveled, water it with the spiritual spring water, and it will all be loose soil.

A Taoist priest is doing my work for free, it's wonderful.

……

Xuan Yi turned to look at Chen Yuanbao, his face unable to conceal his arrogance:

"Chen Yuanbao, did you see that? This is a Taoist technique."

"Amazing, amazing!" Chen Yuanbao quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "The Taoist priest is truly a deity descended to earth! This is too incredible!"

Xuan Yi, pleased with the praise, hummed in response.

"This is nothing. Once I've cleared all thirty acres of land, what can that businessman surnamed Jiang possibly compare to?"

Chen Yuanbao said admiringly:

"Master, are you going to finish everything today?"

Xuan Yi's lips twitched slightly.

He definitely can't finish in one day. That attack just now consumed 30% of his spiritual energy, so he can only work on two more plots of land at most in a day.

But they're very stubborn:

"I have my own plans. You just need to patiently wait for the results."

"Okay, okay." Chen Yuan

Bao nodded eagerly and said, "Then, Daoist Master, would you like to have lunch at my house? I'll have my sister-in-law make chicken soup."

Xuan Yi snorted:

"This humble Taoist practice is abstinent from grains."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Chen Yuanbao was trying not to laugh.

Fasting?

With a glance, Lingmu noticed that Xuan Yi's stomach was rumbling, indicating that he must not have eaten breakfast that morning.

Keep pretending, keep pretending.

……

Jiang Wenyuan had already arrived here, his face looking very grim.

He squatted down beside the already cleared, rocky ground, grabbed a handful of soil, and rubbed it in his hands.

The soil was loose and soft, as if it had been fertilized.

Jiang Wenyuan's eyebrows were so furrowed they could trap a fly.

"Boss Chen," he stood up, adjusted his glasses, and said, "this young Taoist priest's method is quite interesting."

"Right?" Chen Yuanbao said with a simple smile, "I think it's quite amazing."

Jiang Wenyuan glanced at Chen Yuanbao sideways, secretly sneering to himself.

Installed.

Don't try to fool me.

But he still had a smile on his face:

"Boss Chen, we at Huayuan aren't pushovers either. Just you wait and see."

After saying that, he took out his phone and made a call to the other party:

"Hello, it's me. Speed ​​things up and get all the equipment for the second phase over here. Also, contact Professor Wang from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences; I need him to be on-site this afternoon..."

Chen Yuanbao listened from the side, a smile playing on his lips.

Alright, everyone, bring them on!

……

The "competition" on the back mountain of Sanshui Village thus began in full swing.

Jiang Wenyuan's team managed to get all the excavators, bulldozers, and loaders into the back mountain within a single day. The technical team worked day and night, surveying, laying out lines, leveling, and laying pipes, proceeding step by step according to plan.

Xuan Yi was using "spiritual talismans to clear the soil" in the fields every morning and evening. Although he could only clear two or three acres a day at most, a group of villagers would gather around to watch each time he cast the spell.

The old ladies and other elderly people in the village do nothing but carry their small stools to the back hill to watch the excitement every day.

"Oh dear, the Taoist priest is chanting incantations again today!"

Do you believe that Taoist priests are sent by immortals?

"Do gods still ride motorcycles when they descend to earth?"

"What's wrong with Taoist priests? They have to keep up with the times too!"

Sanshui Village has never been as lively as it is now.

……

What about Chen Yuanbao?

Every morning after getting up, Chen Yuanbao would go for a walk around the back mountain.

Seeing Xuan Yi casting a spell, she went over to him and said, "Master, you've worked hard. Here's a cup of water for you."

When he saw Jiang Wenyuan giving instructions, he went over to him and said, "Boss Jiang, you've worked hard. Here, have a cigarette."

While watching the commotion, he offered water and cigarettes; at noon, he went home and ate hand-pulled noodles made by his sister-in-law, Widow Liu.

They were living a very comfortable life.

On the third day at noon, Chen Yuanbao sat on the edge of the field, legs crossed, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, squinting as he gazed ahead.

The excavators on Jiang Wenyuan's side have already leveled twenty acres of land and are now installing the irrigation system.

On Xuan Yi's side, although the progress was slower, they still completed nearly ten acres.

Chen Yuanbao thought to himself with a smug smile:

Those two idiots, in order to fight over some things in our yard, reclaimed thirty acres of wasteland for free.

This deal was absolutely worth it.

……

Just as I was enjoying myself, I heard footsteps behind me.

Chen Yuanbao turned his head away.
