The Adventures Of The Young Master Chapter 423
Advertisement
The person from number one almost spat a mouthful of blood in frustration. The auction only had three main items to auction. And these three were the most expensive and beautiful. Although they would be still an auction tomorrow, the items wouldn't be as good as these ones. He held back from cursing and talked to Old Mo, "Esteemed Sir, do you have a use for this body strengthening book? I can see that you have already a high cultivation and no longer needed this. How about you just give this little one a face and concede?"
What high cultivation? Old Mo couldn't help but sneer. His cultivation was just so-so and anyone could trample him here. It was obvious that the other party was just trying his luck by praising him. Although it was good to his ears, he wouldn't let himself be carried by the other party's words, "If you want this item, then bid higher and defeat me."
The man from room number one almost raged in his room. His eyes turned cold and killing intent dispersed all around. That person was too arrogant and he wanted to teach him a lesson! If not for the fact that this was a place where flaunting one's background was forbidden, he would have already done so, threatening Old Mo and such.
"Young Master Zhou, please calm down." The butler in the room number one could see that anytime, chaos would broke out. So he acted as a reliever and said, "If young master dares go violate the rules and our sect is banned from entering this auction house, you know what will happen."
"You don't need to tell me what to do." Young Master Zhou was aware of this. That's why he's trying to hold himself in, "I know what I should do and what should not. Do I need you to tell me something obvious? I'm no longer a kid."

The butler just nodded and didn't comment on this. Of course, how could he believe him easily? He knew this young master very well.
"20 million, going once, going twice! The master from room number 10 won the book for 20 millions purple stones!" Seeing that the little skirmish done, he immediately announced it officially with bright smiles. The actual price of the book was only around 5 million purple stones at most. But it was increased by a few times which made him happier!
If this had already broke their expectations, how about the last one? They would surely broke sweats in nervousness!
"Now, we will present to you the last and the most treasured item of our auction house. It had been staying with us for so many years now and this time, we decided to auction it real time!" Then, a little box appeared out of nowhere. It was floating mid-air. And soon, it opened and a bright light blinded everyone.
A small crystal-colored lotus appeared and mesmerized everyone, putting in a daze. This lotus was like a fairy that had descended from the immortal realm, truly beautiful. It could shame all the lotuses available here.
Everyone held their breaths. Even Old Mo almost couldn't contain himself.
"Everyone, we present to you our most prized treasure. Forelotus!" Gulping sounds could be heard as the bunny host introduced the item, "If you are knowledgeable enough, then you have already known this lotus. This lotus is very very magical as it can help a person to be an immortal by a good chance of 50%! Not just that, it could also be used as an item to prolong one's life. So truly, we treasured this item so much and cared for it. So you can rest assured that the lotus is in a very good state."

He paused for a moment and smiled. He knew that the people were just waiting for the starting bid. He immediately raised his hand and shouted, "The starting bid is 2 million purples stones with a minimum increased bid of 500,000!"
And then, a fierce bidding battle ensued. It looked like they came here for the sole purpose of getting this item. The bid had increased to 17 million now and it didn't look like it would end there.
After two minutes, the bid increased into a whooping 39 million purple stones!
Everyone gasped. The young master of the room number one had brought too much money with him that it was scary! Just imagine, he bidded 39 million! That's an astronomical price for a young master already.
Seeing that no one was no longer bidding with him, his face turned proud and said, "I will thank all of you if you let this young master get this lotus. My grandfather is already on his death's door and this item can help him prolong his life by being reaching another sublevel of immortal realm. So please give me face."
Everyone didn't say anything. After all, 39 million was already too much of a money for them to fork out. Even if they had that kind of money, they wouldn't be willing to spend it here unless their ancestors told them to do so.
However, the young masterwas about to be thank them when Old Mo suddenly spoke with a cold tone, "40 million."
Young Master Zhou's body trembled as he looked at the room number 10 once again. That person was really trying to get into his nerves! He couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "41 million!"
"42 million." Old Mo was casually saying it as if the money wasn't that much. However, deep inside, he was cursing so much. That young master jumped the bid to 39 million, which was an astronomical amount even for him! He wanted to slap this so called young master and gave him a beating of a lifetime.
"Are your really trying to have a go with this young master? Very well, 43 million!" Young Master Zhou didn't back down and howled like a beast. He was incensed as his face changed colors.
The butler wanted to stop this young master. However, he knew it would just be useless as the young master's reasoning was clouded. He couldn't help but sigh. His fright came true. It was smelling trouble.

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).
