“What? How shameless!”

Zhao Liu cursed angrily.

“That’s right. No one stole their recipe. The recipe belongs to Brother Tang and not them! They’re despicable!”

The others could not hold back their anger and started cursing.

Even a fool knew that the pill recipe belonged to Tang Ritian. What was going on?

If he had really stolen Cloudcore Valley’s recipe, they would have come after him a month ago.

They must have finally reverse engineered the pill, and now they want to corner the market. That was why it took them so long to look for Brother Tang.

Tang Hao’s expression darkened. He was quite angry.

He knew that the secret of the pill would not last forever, and he had used a little trick when formulating it. However, he did not expect that the people who had stolen his formula would frame him for plagiarism too.

There was nothing more shameless than that!

“Sigh! Cloudcore Valley is known for bullying the weak. They had stolen many recipes from medicine makers before,” Storekeeper Fang sighed.

Then, he looked at Tang Hao and said, “This isn’t good, Brother Tang. Cloudcore Valley is quite influential. They have cooperated with other sects. You can’t beat them alone!

“They would definitely want to put you out of business and steal your recipe. When that happens, they’ll be gaining all the profits.”

Tang Hao took a light breath to calm himself down and said, “Are they coming?”

“They’re coming!” Storekeeper Fang said, “They’ve been planning for a long time. They deliberately launched the product in Maple City and invited many factions. After the launch, they’ll be coming here.

“I left early because I wanted to inform you about it.”

“Thank you!”

Tang Hao cupped his fists and thanked him.

“Ha, don’t mention it. I don’t like them anyway. They’re shameless!” Storekeeper Fang said angrily.

“I’d like to see how they put me out of business!” Tang Hao said coldly.

About half an hour later, they heard a commotion outside.

They went out of the door to take a look. A large group of people was rushing in from the other end of the street.

The people in front wore white robes with embroidered blue cloud patterns and they seemed aggressive. Those were the people from Cloudcore Valley.

The people following behind them were dressed in different clothes. Those were obviously people from various major factions.

Tang Hao was familiar with many of their faces. They were the people who had placed orders with him in the past.

He glanced at them and frowned.

The situation was bad indeed!

Even if he could resolve the issue, his business would be negatively affected in the future.

The people on the streets were surprised when they saw those people.

“Look! That’s the people from Cloudcore Valley!”

“What are those bastards doing here? Are they finding trouble with Storekeeper Tang?”

The people whispered to each other in low voices.

Those people swaggered over and stopped in front of Tang Hao’s store.

The leader was a man in his fifties. He had a sharp face and a thin handlebar mustache, which made him look quite mean.

He lifted his head, glanced at the signboard, and chuckled contemptuously.

“Ritian? Ha! What a boast!”

Then, his gaze landed on Tang Hao. “Are You Tang Ritian?” He shouted.

“Yes, I am!” Tang Hao cupped his fists and said calmly.

The man’s expression instantly became vicious, and his eyes sparkled with hostility.

“Take this thief away and cuff him! Destroy this shop!” He yelled sternly.

Immediately, several middle-aged men with powerful qi auras jumped out. They were all in the middle period, and one of them was in the latter period.

They rushed over and prepared to capture Tang Hao.

“What are you doing?”

The onlookers set into action. They roared angrily and squeezed over.

“Wait!”

Tang Hao waved his hand and shouted.

Then, he looked at the man and said, “I’d like to ask you, why are you taking me away?”

“You ask me why?” The man sneered, “Isn’t stealing from Cloudcore Valley a good enough reason?

“You shameless kid, you’ve stolen a recipe from Cloudcore Valley and claimed it as your own. You’re the scum and trash of society! Someone as despicable as you shouldn’t be a medicine maker!

“Do you want to surrender and come with us, or do you choose to resist and be killed on the spot?”

His tone was filled with killing intent.

The surroundings were in an uproar.

“Storekeeper Tang stole his recipe from Cloudcore Valley? That’s impossible!”

“Heh, that can’t be. Think about it! Cloudcore Valley must have set its eyes on Storekeeper Tang’s prescription. That’s why they’re making that claim.”

“Damn, how shameless!”

Everyone was getting angry.

Tang Hao stood at the door. His expression was extremely gloomy.

“I stole Cloudcore Valley’s recipe?”

“That’s right! Two months ago, there was a theft in Cloudcore Valley, and several precious recipes were stolen. Those are ancient recipes that have been kept in the vault, and not many people know about them.

“Not long after the theft, you appeared and created that deluxe Rejuvenation Pill. At that time, we were already suspicious.

“We couldn’t do anything because we didn’t have any evidence. However, an elder came out of seclusion a few days ago. When he saw the deluxe Rejuvenation Pill, he immediately said that it’s one of the stolen recipes!

“The elder even helped us reverse engineer the recipe. Now that we have irrefutable evidence, do you still want to argue?”

The man took out a box and opened it, revealing several perfectly round green pills.

He showed the contents of the box to everyone. “This is the original version. That bastard changed the color to confuse all of you.

“We also sent people to interview all the master medicine makers. They said that they did not know anyone named Tang Ritian, and none of their disciples matched his characteristics.

“He must have originally been an ordinary medicine maker. After stealing the recipe from Cloudcore Valley, he labeled himself a prodigy. Not only has he stolen from us, but he’s also swindling all of you. How shameless!”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he sounded.

Everyone hesitated when they heard that.

They were beginning to be convinced.

After all, Storekeeper Tang seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. They had never heard his name before.

Furthermore, he had never revealed his identity. All he said was that he was from the west.

Was what the man said true?

Did Storekeeper Tang really steal from Cloudcore Valley?

“Think about it. If a person like him didn’t have a master’s guidance, how could he have such an amazing recipe? Without a doubt, he must have stolen it. Only Cloudcore Valley would have such an exquisite recipe.”

The person continued to argue.

“That… seems to make sense!”

The crowd was starting to waver. They looked at Tang Hao with curious expressions.
