Comic (Phoenix Cry)

In Volume 1, a master painter gets the idea of serializing Long Chen's battles, creating drawings, comics, and even a graphic novel about Long Chen's stories in Phoenix Cry. The painter makes a ridiculous profit off these comics.

## Huang-Long Battle

Ever since the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival, knowledge of Long Chen and Huang Chang's peak battle had spread in every direction. Long Chen's fame had spread not only throughout the capital but even throughout the entire empire. There was practically not a single person that didn't know his name.

This was especially true of the younger generation. Long Chen was their idol. Whenever his name was brought up, they would be worshipful and envious.

Of course, in any world, there was no lack of geniuses. And of course, geniuses didn't all have to be on the martial path.

You could also gain fame in other specialties. Now, just over ten days had passed since Long Chen's battle. However, in just these few short days, there had been a genius who had used Long Chen to make a crazy profit of millions of gold coins.

## Painter

That person was originally just a master painter. Although such a person wouldn't be in a state of poverty within the capital, such a profession could not be considered high level. The income was rather meager.

But after that person had seen Long Chen's battle, he had immediately returned home and spent three days and three nights without pause to draw over ten refined drawings.

The person in those drawings was precisely Long Chen. Originally, Long Chen was handsome enough and had an easy-going confidence. Following that master painter's backgrounds and lighting exaggerations, he had been transformed to practically look like a divinity.

The scenes of his pill battle and subsequent fight had been especially exaggerated by him to appear extremely vivid and exciting.

After he drew those, he went directly to the largest printing workshop. After that, an extremely impressive drawing of Long Chen became available in the capital, and the young men and women went crazy for it.

Thousands of drawings were immediately sold out. Some people who hadn't managed to snatch one had already begun to stalk the printing workshop. The entire staff of hundreds of people worked incessantly, but the crowd of people waiting only grew larger.

The printer workshop actually had to hire more people as time went on, and only after a week had passed did they just manage to satisfy most of the demand.

But if that had been all, then that master painter would have only counted as an average businessman. He had a brilliant plan, and after that first painting had been sold off, he added another.

This new drawing was even more refined than the first. What it pictured was even more impressive, and it was printed on an extremely expensive animal hide paper. That meant it could survive for hundreds of years without fading. It had been advertised popularly as being a limited edition collector's item.

Of course, this limited edition collector's drawing was sold at a considerable price. But countless youngsters came to buy it, and the sales were positively shocking.

## Graphic Novel: Phoenix Cry Divine Battle

But what no one expected was that after this limited collector's painting had sold enough, a graphic novel called the Phoenix Cry Divine Battle silently appeared on the marketplace.

That comic was a record of that day's scenes which contained the third princess's confession, Xia Baichi's pill battle, Huang Chang infuriating Long Chen, and Long Chen's bloody battle with Huang Chang. That entire story had been expressed through pictures perfectly.

From the pictures to the graphic novel, that painter and the workshop basically emptied the pockets of all the youngsters in the capital.

Over just a few weeks, they had profited at least millions of gold coins. That originally poor painter immediately became a celebrity within the capital. Other than Long Chen, he was probably the most famous person in the capital now.

Long Chen was not aware of this matter along with countless other things that had occurred in the capital. After a couple of weeks, Long Chen had already broken through to the ninth Heavenstage of Qi Condensation a few days ago.

It went without saying that this fast speed was absolutely related to that life and death battle he had had with Huang Chang.

Only by experiencing life and death trials and only by facing the pressure that came with them could you make your Dao-heart steadier and firmer. And only then would your cultivation speed increase without causing your cultivation base to become unsteady.
