The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 152. Three Elements to Trigger a Task

Cheng Xing curiously took it and looked down, only to see two story summaries written on it.

...

Fortune, fame, power, once owned the whole Star-falling Sea—Hegemon of Waves, Luo Jie. Her words before death lured countless people to rush toward the sea.

"Do you want my magic treasures? If you want them, you can have them all. Look for them. I have placed all the treasures there!"

So all the cultivators set out to sea, chasing their dreams on the Starry Sky Route in the Star-falling Sea, ushering in the era of the Great Boha Hegemon!

A black-haired girl wearing a straw hat sails out on a small boat, declaring her ambition to the world—I am going to be the woman of the Hegemon of Waves!

...

Over ten years ago, at the border between the Demon Domain and the Human World, a terrifying Golden Core demon "Nine-tailed Demon Fox," attacked the Muye Hidden Sect, a branch of the Five Elements Sect. The fourth sect master at that time, Yong Daimei, exerted all her strength and sacrificed her life to seal the Nine-tailed Demon Fox within the newborn Ming Ren.

The Muye Hidden Sect returned to peace, but the people of Muye Hidden Sect treated Ming Ren as a monster and everyone distanced themselves from her.

Ming Ren used various pranks to attract attention, but these only earned her disdain. Under the care of Master Yi Lu, Ming Ren always kept an optimistic spirit.

To gain more recognition, she made up her mind to become the sect master of the Muye Hidden Sect!

...

The above two summaries were written by Fang Zhou on the manuscript. After reading it, Cheng Xing looked up at Fang Zhou and asked, "Sir, are you writing a novel?"

Fang Zhou shook his head and said, "Not a novel, it’s a manga. Just draw the story directly."

Fang Zhou explained to Cheng Xing what manga is. She was initially puzzled, but soon her eyes lit up as she understood what manga was.

Hong Tang, who was originally confused, suddenly interjected, "Is it a comic book?"

Fang Zhou turned to look at her and smiled, "That’s right, it’s a comic book, but more complex."

Hong Tang felt a bit embarrassed; she couldn’t read but had looked at many comic books before. Cheng Xing had collected many in the Lanruo Temple.

Most of them were adult-oriented...

After clarifying the concept, Fang Zhou assigned the task of drawing manga to Cheng Xing. She had excellent drawing talent; the flirtatious man in the advertisement given to Lu Qiuling last time was drawn by Cheng Xing.

The only problem was how to make Cheng Xing draw dynamic manga panels, which Fang Zhou could help with.

Wangyue Daily perished before adulthood and would be reborn as the Heavenly Sword Daily. Fang Zhou could continue to submit articles to maintain his master’s heat but didn’t want to meddle in the newspaper anymore.

One reason was a lack of interest, and another was to avoid suspicion, lest the Heavenly Sword Sect thinks he’s trying to manipulate opinions and cause trouble.

Unable to handle the newspaper, Fang Zhou could still make manga. Successful manga could earn income comparable to newspapers.

Fang Zhou intended to make manga primarily for income; he didn’t want to labor like Ling Xiaoyue, often running out to earn hard-earned money.

After writing the first episodes of the Hegemon of Waves and Muye Cultivators saga to let Cheng Xing try drawing, Fang Zhou left the gourd space and went outside.

He had been busy with newspaper matters recently and hadn’t been cultivating properly.

Seeing it was still early, Fang Zhou sat cross-legged in front of the waterfall and opened the long-unused system.

Title: Foot-scratching Man

Since arriving at the Cloud Sea Mountains, the system had been quiet. Combining previous instances of the system triggering tasks, Fang Zhou deduced three conditions for system task issuance.

One is when chastity is at risk, another when life is at risk, and the last is when the system proactively issues tasks.

Since entering the Heavenly Sword Sect, the environment here was peaceful; the biggest trouble was Yan Gulan, and the most dangerous situation was Ke Yanhan.

But neither of them had any intentions of killing Fang Zhou or taking his chastity, so the system did not trigger tasks.

The 18 points of masculinity were 10 awarded with the foot-scratching man title and 8 points from the task reward after defeating the Tree Demon.

Out of the five skills, four could be upgraded, but with no imminent danger, Fang Zhou had an indecisive moment, unsure which to upgrade, so he left it aside.

The final skill was Wise Time; over a month had passed since the last enlightenment session, and it had already cooled down, but Fang Zhou’s newspaper work nearly made him forget about it.

[Wise Time★★: Detach from worldly desires, five senses enlightenment. Using Wise Time forcibly enhances comprehension, thinking ability, and logical ability, entering an enlightenment state. Duration depends on skill level and user’s talent. Cooldown time: thirty days]

This skill acts as a buff, forcibly improving learning speed, useful for anything, even incomprehensible text.

Fang Zhou took out the Sword Box, performing Sword Control Technique, retrieving the jade slip and ancient booklet.

The jade slip contained the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique, the booklet was the full text of Sword Control Technique, and Fang Zhou also remembered the Heart Sutra.

Before Fang Zhou were these three techniques worth learning.

The Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique and Heart Sutra were unclear, but Sword Control Technique was surely the pinnacle.

The Sword Control Technique was now essential to Fang Zhou’s combat strength and status; without it, he couldn’t even leave the Moon Viewing Peak.

But Fang Zhou didn’t intend to use Wise Time to learn Sword Control Technique, as his main issue wasn’t combat strength but a low realm.

Others mocked him by saying—just a Qi Refining Realm!?

Damn, did Qi Refining Realm eat your rice?

In the eyes of many cultivators, Qi Refining Realm is just a grunt that can be easily bullied.

Though Fang Zhou’s combat strength was strong enough to thrash Foundation Establishment Realm, his Qi Refining Realm identity still led many fools to think—I can do it too.

So Fang Zhou urgently needed to shed this identity and improve his realm, or trouble would continuously arise.

He couldn’t always perform his stamina and power in public to announce he’s formidable and shouldn’t be messed with, right?

That would make him seem like an exhibitionist.

Based on this, Sword Control Technique could be ruled out; no matter how great it couldn’t elevate realms.

Excluding Sword Control Technique, only Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique and Heart Sutra remained. After considering for three seconds, Fang Zhou chose Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique.

Though Heart Sutra was powerful, Fang Zhou lacked a Buddhist foundation and feared that even with Wise Time, he wouldn’t understand it. Also, he worried practicing a monk’s technique might cause baldness, turning him into a shiny-headed monk.

That would really be completely bare, not a single hair left.

Spreading the jade slip before him, Fang Zhou first looked at it several times. Even if he didn’t understand, he memorized it first.
