Chapter 8 Give me three days

This outrageous thing actually ... ? ... still has such a serious side ... ? Just that moment earlier even made him involuntarily feel a kind of emotion akin to conviction. ... ... What on earth is going on ?

Genius? Have you ever seen a sixteen-year-old who has not yet become a martial artist? What kind of nonsense genius are you? Breakthrough to a martial artist in three days? With your kind of half-hearted effort, you won't become a martial artist even in three years

Put your hands down, Xia Fan asked with a cheerful smile

Seeing Xia Fan's serious expression, Xia Tianya felt quite uncomfortable and instinctively nodded his head

Otherwise, he would not have felt even a trace of expectation towards Xia Fan

Even when looking across Qingyang City, those who can recognize the Creation Pill at a glance are likely only the few esteemed alchemists.

Thus, Xia Tianya felt somewhat bewildered for a moment

At least in Xia Tianya's impression, Xia Fan could never be this understanding! He would also never care about the so-called relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Xia and Liu families.

At least in the past, Xia Fan would never have dared to be so fearless and articulate in front of him as he is today

Hearing such words from Xia Fan, Xia Tianya was even more surprised

This statement indeed made Xia Fan feel somewhat embarrassed. He苦笑着摸了摸鼻尖, and then slightly leaned forward and said: "Since I have already made a bet with you, I will go back and focus on my training. If I truly become a martial artist within three days, I hope you will agree to one request of mine at that time"

This good-for-nothing son of mine ... ? ... When did he acquire such abilities?

No problem, then let us pledge with a handshake

Xia Fan stretched lazily, showing no signs of fear towards Xia Tianya's anger. After tossing the document back onto the desk, he said in a languid manner.

Moreover, ...? ... Xia Fan actually recognized the Creation Pill at a glance just now

Feeling the comfort of pressure on her shoulders, Xia Tianya wore a look of skepticism

Do you recognize this Creation Pill? Then do you know what effects this Creation Pill has?

Although this Creation Elixir is merely a black iron tier 3 elixir, its unique functions and the difficulty in refining it render it exceedingly rare in quantity

It was only after Xia Fan turned and left the room that Xia Tianya came to his senses, looking at the doorway with a strange expression, while waves of emotion surged within him

Certainly, although the Transformation Pill is merely a black iron tier 3 elixir, it can enable an individual with no innate talent to directly ascend to the ranks of martial artists upon consumption. However, due to the exceedingly low success rate in refining the Transformation Pill, the investment costs and the resultant effects are completely disproportionate. Therefore, this type of elixir has always been rare in the market.

Xia Fan raised an eyebrow, looking at Xia Tianya's casual expression, as if the elixir was merely a trinket from a street vendor. A warm current flowed through his heart, and then he directly placed the jade box back on the table.

It seems I was mistaken! The reason that insufferable son was able to say such things just now is entirely due to his arrogant and conceited nature! It has nothing to do with what I thought was "understanding" at all

Xia Fan stopped pressing on Xia Tianya's shoulder, reached out to take the box, and upon opening it, saw a small green pill quietly lying inside the box

How could I possibly have such a ridiculous thought

Xia Tianya stood up from his chair. Xia Fan's action of directly picking up the document without asking for permission caused a flicker of unusual expression in Xia Tianya's eyes. Subsequently, Xia Tianya casually spoke while walking over to the guest chair in the room, leaving the entire space of the table directly to Xia Fan.

Xia Fan nodded, then walked directly in front of Xia Tianya, extending his right hand

In the perplexed expression of Xia Tianya, Xia Fan pointed to a document placed on the table and said with a smile: "Since this is something favored by the City Lord's Mansion, I cannot accept it. Otherwise, if it causes dissatisfaction from the City Lord's Mansion, leading them to favor the Liu family in matters related to * maps * and books, it would pose a significant problem for our Xia family."

Since you are aware, why do you still want to give this fortune pill to the City Lord's Mansion? You are already sixteen years old, yet you have not yet broken through to become a martial artist. If you delay for another two years, you might as well give up on the idea of becoming a martial artist for the rest of your life! As for the City Lord's Mansion, you need not worry. Although the City Lord's Mansion is powerful, our Xia family is not to be underestimated either

Hmph! The lord's residence is not only home to one young master; there are naturally other useless ones as well, and it is not only our Xia family that possesses them

Xia Tianya said irritably

The Elixir of Creation

Looking at Xia Fan, who was leaning against the bookshelf behind the desk, appearing completely limp and listless, yet still wearing a nonchalant expression, Xia Tianya could not help but roar again

Thinking of this, Xia Tianya took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Alright, you have three days. If you do not become a martial artist within three days, then you shall give me this Creation Pill to consume."

This wretched son of mine seems to have undergone some inexplicable changes

I actually had a glimmer of hope for this scoundrel of a son just now! I thought that this scoundrel of a son had truly grown up overnight and started to understand reason!

Do not say that such a bold reaction as today is common; even engaging in normal communication with him, Xia Fan absolutely did not have the courage to do so

How should I put it, there are some things that I did not want to do before, but now I do want to do them. Moreover, since you have been disappointed in me for so many years, what difference does it make to wait another three days now

The Creation Pill has another elegant name, known as the Wasteful Snack, which implies that only waste would have a need for such a pill. Am I waste? No, I am a genius! Therefore, I do not need this thing. As for martial artists... heh heh, I guarantee that within three days, I will break through to become a martial artist for you to see, how about that

Xia Fan's seemingly arrogant words caused the anger that had already subsided in Xia Tianya to rise once again uncontrollably

Because in his impression, whenever Xia Fan was with him, it was always a matter of being extremely cautious, not daring to breathe a word.

Xia Tianya's expression suddenly became incredibly vivid, but he still patted Xia Fan's hand

If it could be said that just now, Xia Fan approached him with a shameless demeanor to massage his shoulders, possibly out of a son's instinctive act of acting cute towards his father, then this statement truly leaves no room for explanation

While speaking, Xia Tianya took out a jade box from under his desk. The box was only the size of a palm and appeared to be quite exquisite

The content of the document is quite simple, and the tone of the lord's office is rather mild; however, between the lines, there is an undeniable attitude that indeed leaves one feeling somewhat uncomfortable after reading it

Xia Fan casually remarked, while naturally reaching out to pick up the document from the table and examining it carefully.

The relationship between father and son, although at times may appear somewhat stiff, will never lack the necessary warmth.

Speaking of which, I am indeed somewhat curious. Isn't the young master of the city lord's mansion reputed to be the genius of Qingyang City, a talent not seen in a decade? Why would the city lord's mansion still have a need for this Creation Pill?

Although he could not understand it, the unprecedented warmth conveyed in Xia Fan's earlier words still caused a significant portion of the anger that had been boiling inside him to dissipate.

After a brief contemplation, Xia Tianya turned his head to look at his son, who was still standing in an awkward posture behind him, and asked in a deep voice.

Xia Tianya found himself falling into silence involuntarily. Although he still considered Xia Fan to be a scoundrel, he could not help but silently acknowledge that the Xia Fan who appeared in his room today was indeed significantly different from before

Thus, Xia Tianya's tone naturally softened a bit, and he continued, "Isn't that the best! Her innate talent and aptitude, even when viewed across the entire Qingyang City, are among the very top. If it weren't for our Xia family's great kindness to their Ye family, how could you possibly be worthy of her, given all the foolish things you've done over the years? You must truly cherish this! By the way, take this medicine with you, and remember to take it when you return; it will be beneficial for your cultivation."
