Chen Huang carefully searched through the Mall again and finally found the option to sell items in a fairly conspicuous spot. Something felt off. If he remembered correctly, that option had not been there when he looked before. Still, maybe he was remembering wrong. They could not have added it on the spot, right?

Chat Group:

After going offline, he had even made a special trip around the nearby mountains. Sure enough, he had not found anything of value. It seemed that if he wanted to earn a large number of Points, he could only start with Soul Beasts. In any case, that was not something his current self could manage.

A few hours later, Tsunade finally woke up leisurely.

She looked at the strange light screen in her mind, recalled that bizarre information, formed hand seals, and shouted, "Genjutsu! Release!" In the current ninja world, she was probably already the foremost expert in Chakra control. Strong Chakra control was highly effective for dispelling Genjutsu.

At its core, Genjutsu was merely Chakra injected into your body. As long as you dispersed it, the Genjutsu would naturally be broken.

So it isn't Genjutsu? Tsunade thought.

She looked through the earlier chat records again.

"The Mall... selling? I wonder how much my ninjutsu can sell for?" Tsunade muttered. In one go, she sold the Three Body Technique, Shadow Clone, Monster Strength, Mystical Palm Technique, forbidden technique—Creation Rebirth, Yin Seal, Strength of a Hundred Technique, Summoning Technique, Yin Healing Wound Destruction, Genjutsu—Paralysis, Heavenly Foot of Pain, and the rest. All together, they came to nearly ten thousand Points.

Tsunade was undoubtedly lucky. Her world differed greatly from the others', and many things were judged to be absent from the Group Mall. People like Yang Jian, Zhang Sanfeng, and several group leaders might come from very similar Eastern-style worlds, so many of their things were broadly alike. Kekkei Genkai were also mostly very unique.

"Is there anything in this Group Mall that can bring the dead back to life?"

With that question in mind, Tsunade browsed the Mall. In the end, she found only some Magic Treasures and techniques for summoning souls. Then she found some items that claimed to resurrect people, but they required the death to have occurred recently, the corpse to be intact, and the soul to be unharmed.

"So it really won't work? Dan, Nawaki, Grandfather, Grandmother, Second Grandfather... I miss you all so much..." Tsunade murmured as two streams of hot tears slid from the corners of her eyes.

Chen Huang had originally only been meditating and circulating his energy in cultivation. Later, he realized that the Pure Yang Limitless Skill was a technique that cultivated both internally and externally, combining movement and stillness. Perhaps because the Chat Group had allowed him to comprehend it directly, he had instead overlooked the moving forms.

Chat Group: It wasn't me. Don't make things up.

The beginnings of Taijiquan could already be seen in these fighting forms. After practicing a set once, he would be drenched in sweat. He practiced several times a day, and over time, he felt that his body and internal organs had both grown stronger.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: This old Taoist's hundredth birthday is coming up. Anyone interested is welcome to come watch.

Loli Connoisseur: Hahahaha, True Man Zhang, that name of yours.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Haha, actually, there's nothing bad about being alone.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: So everyone in the group is single?

Loli Connoisseur: Yes, yes. Big Sister Tsunade, are you looking for a boyfriend? I'm an excellent choice.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: You're a six-year-old brat. Your hair hasn't even grown in yet, has it?

Hundred Year Old Virgin: Hahahaha.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: He's doing fine. My friend Nezha has lived for several thousand years and still looks like a child. For someone like him, waiting another ten years should be enough.

The people in the group had chatted quite a bit by now and had become much more familiar with one another. Tsunade had barely gone to the casino lately. Of course, that was because she had lost all her money.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: True Lord, to you, ten years pass in the blink of an eye. But to ordinary people, ten years can turn seas into mulberry fields.

As Zhang Sanfeng spoke, he thought of other things. Ten years ago, Zhang Cui Shan had still been a young man. Now, his child was nearly ten years old. Wuji was a good boy—sensible and kind-hearted—and Zhang Sanfeng liked him dearly. That was why obtaining the Nine Yang Divine Skill was imperative.

Chen Huang had previously reminded him that Tsunade from the group was a renowned healer, and Tsunade was willing to examine Zhang Wuji. However, he still wanted to find the Nine Yang Divine Skill first. As Chen Huang had said, perhaps the Nine Yang Divine Skill was an opportunity that Wuji was destined to receive. He would treat it as a meeting gift from himself, Wuji's grandmaster.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: A few days ago, I informed my disciples. Those righteous figures of the martial world claim they are coming to offer birthday congratulations, but in truth, they are here for the Dragon Slaying Saber. I told them to remain vigilant. I never expected these people to be even more unreasonable than this old Taoist had imagined. They actually dared to attack my disciple's wife, Yin Susu, on my Wudang Mountain. Does the Dragon Slaying Saber truly hold such great appeal?

Loli Connoisseur: Who in the martial world doesn't have a little ambition? That's perfectly normal. By the way, True Man Zhang, I have a gift for you. I'll send it over now.

Chen Huang had been preparing this gift for a long time.

First, there were some local specialties from the Douluo World—seeds of various flowers and plants. Second, there was a nest of Nine-Colored Bird eggs. Nine-Colored Birds were very pretty, and he had eaten them himself; they tasted quite good, though they did not even qualify as Soul Beasts. As for the third gift...

He remembered that in his previous life, there had been a book called Dragon Snake, which had pioneered National Martial Arts in Chinese novels. In some National Martial Arts novels, Zhang Sanfeng was recognized as the founding patriarch, said to be the creator of the National Martial Arts path. At the very least, Taijiquan possessed an illustrious reputation within National Martial Arts.

Chen Huang still remembered the wonders of National Martial Arts. He had not had the chance in his previous life, but in this life, he had an opportunity to see it for himself. He lacked the ability to figure out that path on his own, so he recorded every realm classification and characteristic mentioned in the book from his previous life and sent them to Zhang Sanfeng as a birthday gift. If Zhang Sanfeng could successfully find the path, Chen Huang would benefit from it instead. As a grandmaster, Zhang Sanfeng should not find it too difficult.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: The thought is more than enough. Why send a gift at all?

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Since it is your birthday, then I shall send a gift as well.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: You mustn't, True Lord. You are far older than I am. If you send a gift, this old Taoist—no, this junior Taoist—cannot accept it.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Hahaha, then treat it as a birthday gift for a junior. One Youth Returning Fruit. If a mortal eats it, it can add twenty years to their lifespan and may even make them younger.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: Thank you, True Lord!

Zhang Sanfeng's comprehension of the Dao was genuinely profound, but he still could not compare to Yang Jian. Usually, Yang Jian had answered many of his questions. By that reckoning, Yang Jian was half a teacher to Zhang Sanfeng and had the grace of resolving his doubts. If they met, Zhang Sanfeng would have to observe the etiquette of a disciple. That was why he had reacted so strongly.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: How come all of you prepared gifts?

Loli Connoisseur: For joyous occasions like birthdays and weddings, wouldn't it be improper not to give a gift? I remember your world gives gifts too.

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: That's why I prepared one.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: I have received them already. Thank you, everyone. This old Taoist offers his thanks once again.

Loli Connoisseur: Big Sister Tsunade, what did you send?

Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Some special medicine for treating external injuries. Didn't the old man's disciple become disabled? So I prepared this. It is especially effective for broken bones. I made it from mud from Shikkotsu Forest mixed with many kinds of medicinal herbs.

Hundred Year Old Virgin: Oh? This old Taoist thanks you on behalf of my disciple. His injury has become a great burden on this old Taoist's heart. Today, that burden can finally be lifted.
