90: Ice lion law!
Perhaps because no one had ever fished in this lake before, these transcendent spiritual fish were quite naive.
After smelling the pleasant scent, they all swam over.
After just one minute, Chen Mo felt a tickling sensation on his tail; it seemed something was biting it!
A fish had taken the bait!!
Given Chen Mo's current skin hardness and defense Rank, these low-level transcendent spiritual fish naturally couldn't break through his defenses.
He mobilized the Ice-Type Spiritual Energy within his ice core, sending it surging toward his tail, instantly freezing the transcendent spiritual fish and the surrounding lake water!
Swish!
Chen Mo then flicked his tail, directly tossing the two spiritual fish, frozen solid into ice blocks, onto the shore.
[Profound Ice Carp]
[Rank: Mid-Level Transcendent]
[Comprehensive Combat Power: 20–48]
[Delicious, very suitable for making soup]
[Dragon Whisker Carp]
[Rank: Mid-Level Transcendent]
[Comprehensive Combat Power: 12–52]
[Their long whiskers help them absorb spiritual energy. They are delicious and very suitable for braising]
Blue frames appeared next to both spiritual fish. Unexpectedly, both were Mid-Level Transcendent creatures, and both descriptions mentioned they were delicious.
Alright, he would try them later.
Chen Mo glanced at the self-discipline panel.
Fishing Time (2/360)
Number of Spiritual Fish Fished (2/20)
It really worked!
Seeing the changes on the self-discipline panel, Chen Mo was in a good mood. After tying the fishy grass to his tail again, he "cast the rod" once more.
However, this time, Chen Mo fished for nearly 10 minutes, but not a single spiritual fish took the bait!
"As expected, fishing for spiritual fish is still a bit difficult."
Although the spiritual fish had not undergone an intellectual Awakening, they had developed the instinct to "seek fortune and avoid disaster." When their companions went and never returned, they naturally dared not approach that fragrant tail again.
In that case, he would have to use Plan B.
Chen Mo immediately retracted his aura and plunged directly into the lake.
Roar!
The next instant, the Lords Pressure and the Ice Wind Roar were released simultaneously!
The water surface instantly erupted with countless splashes, creating waves over ten meters high.
The Ice Lion King, unable to catch fish, chose to blast them.
Actual fish blasting.
Hundreds of spiritual fish were stunned by the shockwave and floated on the lake surface.
Spiritual Fish: Are you serious about this!?
Chen Mo mobilized his Ice-Type Spiritual Energy, immediately condensing a layer of thin ice on the lake surface, scooping up all the spiritual fish and spiritual shrimp, and placing them in a large ice bucket he had prepared beforehand.
The ice bucket was 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, roughly the size of a small pond.
It must be said that these spiritual fish were all strangely shaped: some had horns on their heads, some had shimmering scales, and others were covered in sharp spines.
[Silver Scale Fish]
[Rank: Mid-Level Transcendent]
[Comprehensive Combat Power: 35–89]
[Delicious, scales possess decent defensive capability]
However, almost every spiritual fish description included the phrase "delicious," making Chen Mo feel a little greedy.
Unfortunately, they were too small. Given Chen Mo's current size, they would barely be enough to stick between his teeth.
Chen Mo glanced at the self-discipline panel; the count had not changed. These spiritual fish naturally didn't count as having been fished by him.
But it wasn't a big problem.
Over ten minutes later, the spiritual fish woke up one after another.
They then saw a gigantic lion face.
Chen Mo used the Telepathic Ice Silk to begin mental communication with the dozen or so spiritual fish.
He instructed them to cooperate and take the bait obediently.
Otherwise, he would just eat them directly!
Although the spiritual fish were naive, they generally understood Chen Mo's meaning and nodded in agreement.
Thus, Chen Mo began fishing directly inside the ice bucket.
These spiritual fish began vying with each other to bite his tail.
Chen Mo lightly flicked his tail, and astonishingly, he caught ten spiritual fish in a row!
A string of spiritual fish was biting his tail!
Chen Mo glanced at the self-discipline panel.
Daily Number of Spiritual Fish Fished: 15/20
The progress bar immediately reached 75%!
"Fishing is quite easy after all!"
Seeing this, Chen Mo was delighted.
Moreover, he realized a way to exploit a loophole.
The self-discipline challenge for the Fishing Lion did not specify that he couldn't catch the same fish every day.
Therefore, the spiritual fish he caught could be completely reused! This meant the self-discipline challenge of catching 20 fish daily could be completed effortlessly.
As for the six hours of daily fishing, there was similarly no restriction on the fishing location.
As long as he created a small fish pond in the Lion King Cave, he could achieve home fishing!
Or, if he was lazier, he could just fish with the fish in the ice bucket!
So, Chen Mo blasted two more batches of fish, then carried the ice bucket containing over 100 spiritual fish back to Lion King Mountain.
After placing his tail into the ice bucket, he circulated the spiritual energy within his body and began practicing the Heavenly Icefall.
He could fish and Cultivate simultaneously!
————————————
The second night of the [Fishing Lion].
After two days of effort by the Ice Lion King, the Snow Treading Fox Leader, and Wang Long, the ice lion laws were largely revised and completed.
These ice lion laws were completely different from human laws.
Firstly, the ice lion laws established the hierarchy of the Kingdom.
The Ice Lion King was naturally the absolute Dominator of the Ice Lion Kingdom, possessing the greatest authority.
Next were the Mountain Lords.
Chen Mo now possessed the ability to grant fiefdoms, and he planned to appoint a Mountain Lord for every snow mountain.
These Mountain Lords would report directly to the Ice Lion King and also wielded extremely high authority within their designated snow mountains.
Following them were the Vice Mountain Lords, Cave Lords, Vice Cave Lords, and the commoners and slaves of the Ice Lion Kingdom.
The hierarchy was not immutable; Ranks were primarily determined by the contributions made to the Ice Lion Kingdom.
Naturally, one's own transcendent Rank also played a role.
In addition to confirming the hierarchy, the ice lion laws also established the [Contribution Point System] and clarified the [Ice Lion Kingdom Labor Act].
Citizens of the Ice Lion Kingdom would receive a certain amount of Lion King Contribution Points after making contributions to the Ice Lion Kingdom.
For example, completing the labor of sowing one mu of field would earn 1 Contribution Point.
For instance, hunting and killing one hostile low-level transcendent Vicious Beast would earn 2 Contribution Points.
Submitting one High-Level Transcendent Vicious Beast to the Ice Lion Kingdom would earn 50 Contribution Points.
These Contribution Points could be used to purchase Spiritual Plants, transcendent flesh and blood, Telepathic Ice Silk, or even divine medicine.
It could be said that they were the most important "currency" in the Ice Lion Kingdom.
Furthermore, the prerequisite for advancing to positions like Vice Cave Lord, Cave Lord, or Vice Mountain Lord was meeting the required accumulated Contribution Points!
Besides these, the ice lion laws also introduced many prohibitions.
Such as:
[Creatures within the Kingdom are forbidden from killing each other. Offenders will be sentenced to heavy punishment and sent to mine, utilizing their remaining value.]
[All divine medicine, mineral veins, and similar resources within the Ice Lion Kingdom territory are state-owned. Unauthorized possession will result in heavy punishment.]
[Schools will be established within the Kingdom. All offspring of creatures at the Vice Cave Lord Rank and above must receive three years of compulsory education at these schools.]
Chen Mo was quite serious about the sections concerning schools and education.
He used two of his [Subordinate Sharer] slots to share the [Lion Teacher] attribute with two relatively intelligent Snow Treading Foxes, making them serve as "teachers."
