The Adventures Of The Young Master Chapter 182

"Thank you." Jin Rou received the prize as he deserved its win. After all, he won without using his godly eyes. He won by just using his senses that were being used to appraise an item.
"No problem. Though I do not know if the prize is already enough." Owner Bu's tone was now filled with respect and admiration towards Jin Rou as he finally caught the far outline of Jin Rou's mysterious identity, "If that's not enough, I can add another million or two of rubies for you."
"No, the amount is already enough for me." Jin Rou declined, "The amount is already too much for me to handle so I don't need any more than this. Besides, you can save your money for more important things. I mean, you need money to purchase goods from your suppliers, right?"
"That's true." Owner Bu nodded, "But my staff is the one managing everything, so I don't usually take care of these things. Besides, he could do the job efficiently and time-saving.
"I see." Jin Rou smiled, "So is there anything else that you want to confirm from me?"
Although Jin Rou already knew that there was still a single reason left, he wanted Owner Bu to tell it himself.
"Ah... Right, I can not lie in front of your might, Youngmaster." Owner Bu smiled wryly and answered, "This old man is just curious how did you manage to see that kind of stone in those thousands of scrap stones without holding any one of those."
"Oh, that?" Jin Rou put the teacup down and answered, "As someone who is half-step from Celestial Master Appraiser Realm, I know you have already tempered your eyesight to its maximum. Or at least, almost maximum."
"That's right. That's also the reason how did I manage to discover that you have chosen something unbelievable." Owner Bu said, "But that's not something I could find with thousands of scrap stones in front of me. I cannot find it there even I take all my time searching there."

"Well, that's true for normal master appraisers. But since you have tempered your eyesight so much, discovering it for a while would be the best outcome, and the worse would be you'll just take a lot of time." Jin Rou smiled and added, "I believe that within an hour or two, you can already figure it out."
"Pretty impossible." Owner Bu shook his head, "Although I'm always confident and proud of myself because of my contributions during my peak youth as an Immortal Emperor, but when I see your appraising skills as if everything was very under your control? I know that even I fight with all my strength, the winner was still the same in the appraising competition. It was already my good luck that I was able to meet you before I enter seclusion."
"You cannot say it's impossible. There's nothing impossible in the world of cultivation." Jin Rou said, "By the way, I heard that this world has a very amazing and mysterious seaside. I would like to go there and breathe some fresh air. Do you know where is that?"
Truth be told, Jin Rou wanted it because he had a motive for going there. Besides, he really wanted to go and enjoy the seaside for a while. After all, he did not enjoy it way back then in Farna's Mortal World.
After a short silence, Jin Rou opened up, "Of course, as a payment for the information, I can also help you ascend to the Outer Heaven. No need to tell me why. How about it?"
Owner Bu dazed off for a moment and laughed, "Youngmaster, you are going to take a loss with this deal, how about I serve you? At least until I have my regrets and grudges were collected."
"No need to serve me." Jin Rou said, "Just settle everything there. Besides, I will just help you ascend there, you still need to go on your own. Of course, your matters, I won't touch them."

"Just like I said, I don't know if I can't survive that world without the backing of someone powerful sect? And judging from you, Youngmaster, you are from a very powerful and influential sect in the Outer Heaven." Owner Bu concluded.
"Well, I can sell you a favor of accompanying you as long as once you're done with what you wanted to do, you will go back and here and enter seclusion to calm your dao heart." Jin Rou said.
"That, I can assure you, Youngmaster Jin." Owner Bu said without further hesitation. After all, he just needed someone like Jin Rou who knew the Outer World. But little did he know that Jin Rou did not just come from the backward world like the Outer Heaven. If he ever realized that Jin Rou was the overlord of this universe, what would his reaction be? Maybe he'll die due to extreme shock.
"Then, good." Jin Rou smiled.
Owner Bu flicked his finger and a paper appeared, giving it to Jin Rou and said, "This is the exact location of the mysterious seaside you want to go. I know that this is the place since this is the most restricted place in Grivexia and I entered it thousands of years ago. With Youngmaster's strength, I know that this place is not a problem at all."
"Alright." Jin Rou received the paper and put it in his ring and stood up, "I will be going now, Owner Bu. I will return here once I'm about to go to the Outer Heaven. Please do take care of yourself."
Without further waiting, Jin Rou just left the room without waiting for Owner Bu's response.
"Although that Youngmaster is a bit arrogant, his arrogance had its own words." Owner Bu sighed and smiled, looking up and muttered under his breath, "I will return to that place, soon. Wait for me."

Jin Rou and Zin Shi were now walking outside the market. Their walk was just filled with silence as Jin Rou did not bother saying anything. But Zin Shi knew that he was not in a bad mood, maybe he just wanted to breathe the air here.
After a long silence, Jin Rou finally said, "I am going to the Sea Continent."
Grivexia was divided into two continents, Land and Sea. And the wideness of each continent was so big that it would take even, an Immortal Emperor, days to travel the whole continent.
"You're going now?" Zin Shi asked.
"Yes." Jin Rou answered, "But I will be back before the Showdown of the Beasts. We will both watch it together, right?"
Zin Shi did not know what to say. She wanted to ask if she could come with him. However, there were no words that came out of her small mouth. It was as if her tongue was tied, unable to talk.
Jin Rou smiled while looking at her. After which, he pulled out a book from his inventory ring and handed it over to Zin Shi, "This manual is something that my personal maid created. This suits you very well. As long as you can comprehend everything here, your strength would go by leaps and bounds. Trust me."

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

Mindfulness
"Mindfulness? What do you mean Bradley?" I was speechless and I wasn't able to comprehend."You already know Stef, you can understand it by the way I look at you, I'm completely aware of what I feel, we have families and I have a daughter, but nothing will take me away from you. You are my Zweisamkeit, you know what I mean?" I looked at him, he was smiling and it was the best smile in the entire world. and I started to laugh. "I don't speak German Bradley, you know." "This word describes the self-imposed isolation of a couple in love. Their togetherness creates a kind of loneliness around the two of them. And you, you are the only one who makes me feel like this. I can't let you go and I have to tell you, I love you Stefani, more than the word can say, more than anything, I'm in love with you from the first day I met you at your home, you were smiling with your blonde hair messed up, and when you started to sing, I saw heaven.
