Chapter 65: Farming Lion (Seeking First Subscriptions)

As a development-oriented title, Chen Mo was already very satisfied with the effect of 【Lion Teacher】.

More importantly—this seemed to be of great help for the future linguistic unification of the Ice Lion Kingdom.

Even after awakening and gaining intelligence, extraordinary creatures could only carry out daily communication with members of their own race; anything slightly more complex was beyond their comprehension.

And between different extraordinary races, they had to rely on Spirit-Communicating Ice Silk for communication, which was extremely inconvenient.

The quantity of Spirit-Communicating Ice Silk was not large, falling far short of being available for every beast to use.

If he wanted to unify the Great Snow Mountain in the future and establish a Lion Kingdom, having no unified language would make communication between the races far too troublesome.

Chen Mo planned to build a school when the time was about right, then have all the races within his territory come to the school to learn Chinese, so that at the very least they could communicate using written text.

However, all of that was far in the future.

The most important thing right now was still to control as many Region Spirits as possible, seize territory in the Great Snow Mountain secret realm, and then snatch the first second-tier divine herb! Thinking too much was useless, so Chen Mo began considering the self-discipline challenge to choose next.

This newly refreshed self-discipline challenge was very interesting.

【Farming Lion】 (Green)

Clear 5 mu of land each day and sow 1,000 seeds, continuing for 30 days.

After 30 days, successfully cultivate 5,000 mature plants.

Although this was not the combat-oriented self-discipline challenge Chen Mo currently needed most, he felt that the 【Farming Lion】 title might be of great help in improving his own strength and in the long-term development of the lion pride.

Chen Mo guessed that the effect of 【Farming Lion】 might be to make him a farming master, which could perhaps better help him cultivate divine herbs.

Besides, sharing it with the Frost Sheep Leader was also a good option.

Compared to 【Builder Lion】, this was clearly the better choice.

Chen Mo chose 【Farming Lion】 with almost no hesitation.

Immediately after, he began thinking about how to complete this self-discipline challenge.

He had the 【Super Self-Discipline Card】 prepared, so he needed to clear 10 mu of land and sow 2,000 seeds each day, continuing for 15 days.

And after 15 days, he would need to harvest 5,000 mature plants.

For him now, clearing 10 mu of land each day was not really a difficult task—as long as he kept at it.

But the problem was, successfully cultivating 5,000 mature plants within 15 days would not be easy.

He would inevitably have to choose a plant that was suited to growing in extreme cold environments and had a very short maturation cycle!

So Chen Mo went to the territory of the Ice Horn Frost Sheep, preparing to seek help from the future "Minister of Agriculture" of the Ice Lion Kingdom.

Professional problems naturally required professional personnel to solve.

"Baa~"

Seeing the Lion King's figure, the Frost Sheep Leader was rather uneasy. It offered a strand of Spirit-Communicating Ice Silk and asked somewhat nervously:

"Baa?" (King, have you come to help us search for Region Spirits?)

"Roar!" (Already looking.) Chen Mo nodded. As for Region Spirits, he had already dispatched the Ice Crystal Rats and Lion Sister to help search.

The Extraordinary Lion Pride and the Snow-Treading Fox Clan had also been sent to the snow mountain where the Spirit-Communicating Ice Silkworms dwelled to help search.

He only needed to be responsible for refining them.

"Roar?" (I came to find you about another matter as well. Frost Sheep Leader, do you have any seeds here that can mature in 15 days and are suited to growing in extreme cold environments?)

Chen Mo asked the Frost Sheep Leader.

"Baa?"

The Frost Sheep Leader looked completely bewildered, then nodded.

It then led Chen Mo to a spot halfway up the mountain. On a snow-covered meadow, Ice Horn Frost Sheep were releasing Little Spirit Rain Art on various spiritual herbs and spiritual flowers. This was where the Ice Horn Frost Sheep grew their plants.

Every single Ice Horn Frost Sheep was a skilled little planter.

After confirming their allegiance to the Ice Lion Clan yesterday, they had stopped searching for Region Spirits and instead returned to their old trade—farming and selling vegetables! The Ice Horn Frost Sheep led Chen Mo to the cave where they lived. Outside the cave were plots of land that had already been cleared, planted with various spiritual plants in different sections, many of which had already sprouted seedlings.

"Baa~" (King, this plant called ice vegetable should be able to meet your requirements, baa~)

The Ice Horn Frost Sheep pointed with its hoof at a patch of plants growing in the corner.

Its appearance was somewhat similar to ordinary baby bok choy, except that the leaves and veins were a frosty blue color, and they contained extremely minute traces of ice-type spiritual power.

"Baa~" (Even without using Little Spirit Rain Art, in a place with dense spiritual energy, it only takes about 5 days to mature~)

"Roar!" (Then give me 4,000 ice vegetable seeds first, I'll take them back and try!)

"Baa??"

The ram leader froze for a moment.

The Ice Lion King wanted these seeds to go back and plant them himself? A lion king growing vegetables—what a sight that would be! "Baa~" (King, please wait a moment.) That many ice vegetable seeds, it could not produce all at once. Growing these ice vegetables was purely because they tasted good.

But it was not a big problem—it could use Little Spirit Rain Art to accelerate their maturation! For a spiritual vegetable with such a short growth cycle, after irrigating it with spirit rain, it only took 1 hour to go from the seed stage to sprouting and then to flowering!

Spiritual energy gathered, and spirit rain fell pitter-patter. Immediately, the ice vegetables in the vegetable patch began growing at an astonishingly exaggerated speed.

The ice vegetables that had been mere seedlings grew larger at a rate visible to the naked eye, while those already in their growth phase unfurled their leaves and entered the flowering stage.

"Baa~"

The Frost Sheep Leader released ice wind to perform manual pollination on these ice vegetable flowers.

After another 10 minutes, the ice vegetable flowers fully matured, producing ice-blue fruits resembling bean pods. Inside the "pods" were deep blue ice vegetable seeds.

"Baa~"

After the Frost Sheep Leader harvested these seeds, it began catalyzing again. It was only after exhausting all the spiritual power in its Ice Core that it barely managed to catalyze the 4,000 seeds the Ice Lion King needed.

Chen Mo nodded.

"Roar?" (I'll take these first. Frost Sheep Leader, can I learn Little Spirit Rain Art?)

Watching the ice vegetables grow visibly after the Frost Sheep Leader released Little Spirit Rain Art, Chen Mo was rather envious.

"Baa~" (King, that's a bit difficult, baa~)

The Frost Sheep Leader naturally felt in its heart that Chen Mo would not be able to master it.

If the Little Spirit Rain Technique were this easy to learn, every beast in the Great Snow Mountain would be planting vegetables! This is the Frost Sheep Clan's unique talent!

Of course, facing the Lion King, it certainly wouldn't dare say that; it simply took a piece of bark from the stone wall beside it, and on the bark were six frost‑blue symbols.

This turned out to be a piece of inheritance bark inscribed with the "Fa".

Mee~

The bark records a higher‑level "Fa" than the Little Spirit Rain Technique—the "Great Spirit Rain Technique".

It is also a legacy left by the Frost Sheep King for the Unicorn Frost Sheep Clan before his journey to the Inner World.

But only after advancing to Lord can one contemplate it.

"Roar!" (I'll give it a try; if it doesn't work, I'll return it.) Chen Mo also didn't expect the Frost Sheep Leader to be so generous, directly bestowing the inherited Fa upon it.

Mee~
