CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 480: LET ME TRY

"Brother Xia, the only skilled warrior our family reveres is a swordsman ranked twenty-fifth on the Celestial List, but I contacted him just now, and upon hearing of the Quicksand Organization, he simply refuses to take on this task, no matter what."

At this moment, others nodded in agreement as well, basically saying that the Celestial List warriors their families revered were all unable to take action.

Xia Yuan was well aware that few Celestial List warriors would have the audacity to oppose the Quicksand Organization. After all, no matter how good the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill is, one must be alive to use it.

Even among these families, Xia Yuan knew that at least one had tributes from an Ancient Martial Family, and some even had close relations with powerful assassin groups like Dark Stone and Blood Leaf.

None of these people were willing to reveal their true strength yet. Xia Yuan held the jade box in his hand, feeling even more bitter.

Everyone finished expressing their grievances and difficulties, offering regrets to Xia Yuan. In brief, they said a lot of polite things, yet none were truly willing to contribute.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere in the villa’s living room once again fell into a heavy silence, filled with stifled stillness. Each of the patriarchs present was an old fox, adept at keeping their composure, their heads bowed, eyes focused ahead, saying nothing.

Xia Yuan could only let out a long sigh and gently closed the lid of the jade box, saying with a weary voice, "Heh, since none of you are interested in the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill, I’ll just put it away for now."

After saying this, looking despondent, he stood up, cupped his hands toward everyone, and politely said, "Thank you all for coming to my home today. I’m also very grateful that you gave me some face. My daughter’s situation truly troubles everyone. For this, I thank everyone on her behalf."

"Oh no, Brother Xia, no need to say that."

"Brother Xia, you’re indeed too kind. Xia Han is well-behaved, clever as a snowflake. We all like her very much, but this time, the Chen Family truly can’t offer much help!"

"Sigh, Younger Brother Xia, don’t worry. There’s a saying that good people have their own blessings. I believe Xia Han will surely turn misfortune into good fortune and return safely."

Everyone had their own set of pleasantries to say. Xia Yuan gave another helpless sigh, exchanged a few more courtesies with them, and prepared to see them off.

It was at this moment that Qin Hao suddenly stood up in front of everyone and said, "Uncle Xia, may I take another closer look at that Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill?"

Everyone was ready to leave, but upon hearing Qin Hao’s words, they all turned their heads to look at him. A subtle roar of whispers began to echo.

"Who is this lad? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"

"Hmm, I’m not sure either. But I heard he might be Xia Han’s friend."

"I don’t know this person, but standing beside him is none other than the Yu family’s daughter, Yu Xiangru!"

Amongst these whispers, Xia Yuan also turned around, curiously looking at Qin Hao. On such an occasion, everyone present was a true bigwig from Jianghai City. No mere youngster, no matter how curious he was about the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill, would dare to outright say he wanted a closer look. This action was quite rude.

Already in a foul mood, Xia Yuan’s face grew darker upon hearing Qin Hao’s words. He frowned impatiently and, reopening the box before Qin Hao, said, "Here, take a quick look."

His tone was icy, yet Qin Hao seemed unfazed. His entire attention was focused on the mysterious Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill.

Once more, the lid of the jade box was opened, and the lingering fragrance of the pill wafted through the villa’s living room. At this moment, Qin Hao, being closest, was immediately graced with the rich fragrance, abruptly stirring the inner strength within his body into a frenzy.

What a treasure, truly a treasure! This elixir is not only an authentic Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill but also crafted by an alchemy master of exceptionally high caliber.

The pill fragrance was long-lasting and natural, the elixir’s appearance smooth and gentle.

Qin Hao’s eyes, filled with admiration, gazed at the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill, almost wishing to swallow it whole now.

Seeing Qin Hao’s longing expression, Xia Yuan’s distaste deepened. Today, he had only allowed Qin Hao in out of respect for Yu Xiangru.

With such behavior from Qin Hao, Xia Yuan surmised he must be some playboy from a small family spouting sweet words to gain Yu Xiangru’s favor.

With these thoughts, Xia Yuan’s attitude toward Qin Hao turned even colder. He snapped the box shut and coldly continued, "Alright, finished looking? This kind of thing is beyond your capacity to touch. Go home and focus on some proper work. Stop aimlessly wandering about all day."

Hearing this, Qin Hao looked a bit forlorn but remained unconcerned. He merely said, "Uncle Xia, this Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill is indeed genuine. I never imagined I’d get to see such a fine item in your possession."

He praised it to himself, and Xia Yuan, now truly angered, glared darkly at Qin Hao, scolding him outright.

"You insolent boy, what nonsense are you spouting! Do I need a mere youngster like you to judge my genuine Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill? Go home immediately, stop causing trouble here!"

After speaking, he glanced at Yu Xiangru and continued, "Xiangru, you should be more cautious in choosing your friends. What’s most important is not their words but their actions. This punk’s behavior isn’t the slightest bit commendable to me!"

With that, he snorted coldly and prepared to leave.

Just at that moment, Qin Hao gave a faint smile and said, "Heh heh, Uncle Xia. Don’t you want to save your daughter?"

At the mention of his daughter’s situation, Xia Yuan immediately turned around, just in time to hear Qin Hao continue, "In three days, I’ll return your daughter Xia Han to you unharmed. You hold onto the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill for me, and in three days, I’ll come to claim it!"

With these words, the room erupted in astonishment.

"What? Did I hear that correctly? Did this youngster just say he’d rescue Xia Han in three days?"

"Yes, he seems to have said that, and on top of that, he wants the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill!"

"Hahaha! The audacity! Doesn’t even know the immensity of the world!"

A chorus of disdainful and mocking remarks resounded, for the Quicksand Organization was fearsome and their power overwhelming.
