The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 162. The Difficulties of Making Comics

Fang Zhou approached Cheng Xing, who was dripping wet. Her long hair and clothes were tightly pasted to her body, creating a beautiful scene of a beauty who had just bathed.

Fang Zhou looked at her with some confusion. This girl’s chest was clearly supposed to be sizeable, the largest Fang Zhou had seen, but outwardly it was barely noticeable, almost like a flat board.

Seeing Fang Zhou staring at her chest, Cheng Xing curiously asked, "Sir, what are you looking at?"

Fang Zhou couldn’t resist and asked her the question.

Cheng Xing laughed in surprise, not expecting Fang Zhou to be curious about this all along.

She offered a shy smile and said, "Don’t laugh at me when I tell you."

Fang Zhou immediately responded sternly, "This is an academic discussion. Why would I laugh at you?"

Only then did Cheng Xing explain to Fang Zhou. It turns out her thousand-mile eyes not only enhance her vision but also create visual illusions for others looking at her.

However, she wasn’t very adept at controlling this ability and could only manage a small area, so she used it to obscure her chest.

The same principle applied to hearing, but she hadn’t mastered that yet.

Fang Zhou excitedly experimented with Cheng Xing, and indeed, as she said, it could cause light refraction effects. The exact reason behind it was still unclear.

Hong Tang stood in the distance, watching Fang Zhou and Cheng Xing talk closely, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

After finishing the academic discussion, Fang Zhou talked to Cheng Xing about manga creation.

During Fang Zhou’s absence, Cheng Xing had been trying to draw manga storyboards.

The process was fairly successful, and her drawings were quite decent, but she encountered two important issues: one, using only a brush, she couldn’t perfectly recreate the manga effect Fang Zhou described; two, after drawing, how to print it into booklets.

The first problem was easy to solve; making some charcoal pencils would do.

But the second problem was tough. Relying on traditional printing technology was impossible to print the manga.

When choosing to create manga, Fang Zhou had considered this issue and found it couldn’t be solved with technology alone; it required cultivation world methods.

He even specifically consulted Yu Qing, asking about replicable magic treasures or spells in the cultivation world.

Yu Qing couldn’t answer this question either, but she gifted Fang Zhou a book called "Treasure Atlas," which documented many mainstream magic treasures in the cultivation world. Fang Zhou might find the answer in it.

The Treasure Atlas was left in Fang Zhou’s bamboo house, and he hadn’t had a chance to look at it yet.

After Cheng Xing brought up these two issues, Fang Zhou asked her to remain patient and continue honing her drawing skills, assuring her he would solve these problems.

After spending some time in the gourd space, Fang Zhou finally left. But before leaving, he took another gourd doll with him—Lan Shao.

Lan Shao was initially very scared and didn’t dare to come out with Fang Zhou alone, but she didn’t have a choice. Fang Zhou directly released her from the gourd.

Lan Shao appeared in the bamboo house and curiously looked around. When she saw Fang Zhou, she showed a fearful expression.

It seemed the psychological shadow left by Fang Zhou inside the Tree Demon was too big for her.

Fang Zhou looked at her amusedly, "Why? You dared to sneak over to mess with me at Lanruo Temple at night, but now you’re afraid of me?"

Hearing Fang Zhou mention that incident, Lan Shao couldn’t help but smile and quickly covered her mouth, mumbling, "I’m not scared."

As she said this, she was already near the door, ready to run out at any moment.

Fang Zhou patiently explained to her, "We were enemies before, so I had to act. Now we’re partners, I won’t harm you."

Lan Shao said nothing, her eyes darting around, showing a look of defiance.

Fang Zhou had no choice but to give up explaining. Over time, she would definitely return to her true nature.

"Go out and play, remember to stay invisible and come back by dark."

Lan Shao cautiously opened the door, seeing Fang Zhou not reacting, she immediately slipped out and turned transparent, disappearing.

Fang Zhou heard her cheer faintly and couldn’t help but smile.

This gourd doll was lively and mischievous yet had a small heart.

Fang Zhou found the Treasure Atlas gifted by Yu Qing and left the bamboo house to sit on stones by the waterfall, starting to read it.

He read until nightfall and stretched. He had only covered less than a fifth of the Atlas.

The recorded magic treasures in the Atlas were eye-opening, like a kind of Mystic Crystal Jade that could transmit sound and images regardless of distance. Isn’t this essentially a ready-made mobile phone?

If he had the chance to obtain a Mystic Crystal Jade mine, Fang Zhou could become the Steve Jobs of the cultivation world.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten his purpose of reading the Atlas, but he hadn’t found a treasure that could replicate manga yet.

"Come out, why are you hiding over there?"

Fang Zhou turned and called toward the other side of the waterfall.

Lan Shao slowly revealed herself, maintaining a safe distance from Fang Zhou, curiously shouting, "Hey, how did you find me?"

It was because of the distinct grass scent you carry.

Not just Lan Shao, other gourd dolls also carried faint grass scents, but Lan Shao’s was more noticeable, perhaps unique to Grass and Wood Demons.

However, Fang Zhou couldn’t be entirely sure since the Tree Demon had a decayed wood scent.

Fang Zhou didn’t explain, he just waved her over, "Come here, I have a task for you."

Lan Shao hesitated to approach, stopping a few meters away from Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou directly asked her, "Cheng Xing said you can make other objects transparent, can you make me transparent?"

Lan Shao proudly posed, "Of course, no problem."

Fang Zhou held out his hand, "Good, come try it."

Lan Shao immediately hesitated and wouldn’t come over.

Fang Zhou knew that if he got angry, she might transform back into a gourd, so he chuckled, "Are you saying you can’t do it?"

Lan Shao pouted, "Who said I can’t do it?"

"Then come here."

Lan Shao wouldn’t fall for it, "You’re trying to provoke me, I’m not stupid."

Damn, this gourd doll might be smarter than her sisters.

Fang Zhou immediately put on a stern face, "If you don’t come over, I’ll hit you."

Lan Shao reluctantly came over, grabbed one of Fang Zhou’s fingers, and used her invisibility ability.

Fang Zhou and Lan Shao immediately turned invisible.

Fang Zhou released Lan Shao’s hand, immediately coming out of invisibility, "How many people can you invisibilize at once?"

"One person."

"Useless."

Lan Shao was instantly furious but didn’t dare to retort.

Fang Zhou went to the construction materials delivered by Cloud Sea Gang today, took out his gourd, and absorbed all the materials into it.

Afterward, Fang Zhou bent down with his back to Lan Shao, "Get on."

Lan Shao hesitated, walked up, and climbed onto Fang Zhou’s back. Fang Zhou supported her easily with one hand, she was as light as a child, which she indeed was.

Summoning the Xuanyuan Sword, Fang Zhou, carrying Lan Shao, stepped onto the sword and soared into the clouds.
