Zhang Sanfeng had already started the livestream. Everyone opened the livestream function, and a large portion of their light screens turned into projections, like an immortal's water-mirror technique. There was no 3D, nor was there any immersive viewing. The energy consumption of a cross-world function was beyond imagination, so some features had to be kept simple.
This was everyone's first time seeing Zhang Sanfeng's true appearance. He wore a dark Daoist robe, with white hair and the face of a youth—just as they had imagined. Well, except for Tsunade. This was her first time seeing a so-called Daoist priest.
Zhang Sanfeng took out the Youth Returning Fruit Yang Jian had gifted him from the Chat Group. Smiling, he said, "This old Daoist originally did not have much confidence. Although my strength has improved somewhat since joining the group, I am already a hundred-year-old man. With this Youth Returning Fruit from True Lord, this old Daoist can finally say I have complete confidence."
Zhang Sanfeng popped the Youth Returning Fruit into his mouth. Something strange seemed to happen, and his eyes widened.
"Gulp." His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed it.
Did it melt as soon as it entered his mouth? Chen Huang thought.
Zhang Sanfeng began to look increasingly younger. His complexion turned rosy and lustrous, and several strands of black hair appeared amid his full head of white hair.
Zhang Sanfeng clearly noticed the changes in himself. Rising to his feet, he performed a set of martial arts movements—Taijiquan, though he himself called it the Tai Chi Skill. His movements were obviously slow, yet they seemed to carry unmatched force and power.
Delight filled Zhang Sanfeng's face as he laughed. "Good, good, good! Wonderful! I have never felt this good before. It seems this old Daoist has truly become twenty years younger. Many thanks, True Lord!"
Zhang Sanfeng respectfully bowed toward the void, directly facing everyone watching the livestream.
In Yang Jian's True Lord's Palace in the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian watched the stream and murmured, "What a profound fist technique. Still, the cultivation system in Zhang Sanfeng's world is even lower than I imagined. However, if he were in my world, perhaps he truly could cultivate into an immortal through his own efforts. But in his world, becoming an immortal is unimaginably difficult. Perhaps I should lend him a hand. It might not be a bad idea to take him as a disciple."
Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Senior True Lord, do you have any more Youth Returning Fruits? If you do, I am willing to trade Points for one. Loli Connoisseur: Sister Tsunade, what do you want the Youth Returning Fruit for? Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Our Senju Clan has inherited a power known as the Sage Body through the ages. Roughly every hundred years, a ninja who awakens Wood Release will also appear. According to my Second Grandfather and grandmother, the Sage Body is a powerful force hidden within the flesh. It can make the body stronger and unleash its potential. However, I discovered that the Sage Body's initial manifestation is vigorous vitality. I also developed ninjutsu unique to the Sage Body around this powerful life force. Loli Connoisseur: Oh, so you think that vigorous vitality can in turn help you further develop the Sage Body? Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: That's right. Loli Connoisseur: If you get the chance, you can go to Shikkotsu Forest and learn Sage Art. That should also be something that can make the Sage Body stronger. Best Uncle in the Three Realms: I can give you a Youth Returning Fruit, but I do not want your Points. If possible, I would like one of the ninjutsu you know.
Tsunade's message also transformed into a scrolling comment that drifted across the light screen.
Tsunade's ninjutsu and Chakra were undoubtedly a cultivation system Yang Jian had never encountered before, though it was relatively close to the systems he knew. Everything that ninjutsu in Tsunade's world could accomplish, Yang Jian could accomplish with Magic Power and Divine Abilities. Magic Power was, after all, an omnipotent force.
After all, one could use another mountain's stone to polish one's own jade. Yang Jian naturally had a certain interest in this cultivation system, but exchanging for it in the Mall was extremely expensive. If he could trade a Youth Returning Fruit for it, that would be ideal. No matter what, the Youth Returning Fruit was merely an ordinary fruit found in the estates of immortals at the True Lord level in Heaven. Though it was of that rank, immortal fruits like the Youth Returning Fruit, which increased one's lifespan, had relatively low yields.
"Grandmaster." Zhang Wuji had changed into a clean Daoist robe and now looked like a little Daoist priest. Zhang Sanfeng had rescued him only a few days ago, but unfortunately, he had still been too late—Zhang Wuji had already been struck by the Mysterious Nether Palm.
"Wuji, how have you found Wudang these past two days?" Zhang Sanfeng asked with a smile.
Zhang Wuji smiled. "It's great. It's much more fun than Ice and Fire Island."
"That's good. Today is your grandmaster's hundredth birthday. Will you stay with Grandmaster all day?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
He was afraid someone might specifically come to seize Zhang Wuji. Those supposedly righteous people of the martial world had no idea how filthy they were behind the scenes. If they could not get the whereabouts of the Golden-Haired Lion King and the Dragon Slaying Saber from Zhang Cui Shan and Yin Susu, they might very well turn on the child. Only by his side would Zhang Wuji be safe.
"Okay," Zhang Wuji answered.
Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: What a sensible child. Loli Connoisseur: If you like him, you can have one yourself. That is an ability you are born with as a woman, you know. Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Hmph~ If Dan hadn't died, I might already be a mother by now. Loli Connoisseur: You can find another one. How about Jiraiya? Great Fat Sheep of the Ninja World: Anyone but that guy. Orochimaru would be better than him. Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Who is Jiraiya? Loli Connoisseur: An old pervert. He likes peeping at women bathing and visiting brothels. Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Who would ever take a fancy to someone like that? Honestly, it is fortunate my third sister did not find a man like him. Loli Connoisseur: Can you accept Liu Yanchang now? Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Impossible. I do not object to my third sister getting married, but first, she must have my approval. Second, the man must have the strength to protect her. Liu Yanchang is a mere scholar who does not even dare kill a chicken—how is he worthy of my third sister? Third, now is not the time for romance. If she were not an immortal, then falling in love and getting married would be nothing much. Loli Connoisseur: What about Chen Xiang? Best Uncle in the Three Realms: He is still blood of the Yang family. If he has no great ambitions, then let him live out his life in peace. But if he dares obstruct my plans, I would not mind getting rid of him.
Chen Huang knew that Yang Jian only said that with his mouth. In truth, he would never be able to bring himself to do it.
Over on Zhang Sanfeng's side, the birthday celebration was being held in the square on Wudang Mountain. Zhang Sanfeng did not want bloodshed in the True Martial Hall.
"Wuji, if you travel the martial world in the future, remember to be careful and cautious, especially around those so-called righteous sects. You must be on your guard against them. The people who have come to Wudang these past few days all harbor ill intentions. They want to seize your godfather's Dragon Slaying Saber, and they want even more to kill him to avenge their grudges. In the future, try not to reveal your identity either. Do you understand?" Zhang Sanfeng said.
Children had to be taught from a young age. Wuji was still young, so it was not too late. The disciples Zhang Sanfeng had taken were beyond reproach in character, but their talent was a little lacking, and they were somewhat rigid and old-fashioned. That was why he held such great hopes for Wuji.
"I understand, Grandmaster."
Zhang Sanfeng did not harbor any ill feelings toward Zhang Cui Shan recognizing the Golden-Haired Lion King, Xie Xun, as his sworn brother. After learning the truth, he had merely sighed. He was nothing more than a pitiful man. Besides, his disciple's sworn brother was practically his own godson, was he not? It was as though he had gained a son.
