Chapter 852: Issuing A Challenge
“That can’t be true, right?”
“Impossible! Storekeeper Tang isn’t like that!”
The street was lively with discussion.
Even though many people were supporting Tang Hao, so of them had begun to waver.
The hint of a smile began to appear on the face of the man from Cloudcore Valley.
That naive brat would not be able to stand up against them.
Before they ca, they had thoroughly investigated that brat. Many people were sent to the various major dicine maker organizations and schools.
They did not find any results regarding that person.
That also ant that Tang Hao was not anyone famous or influential, at least not in the dicine maker circle.
Judging from his cultivation base, they guessed that he was probably a disciple from so major faction and had learned so dicine. He probably obtained those recipes from a fortuitous encounter.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to have access to such amazing recipes.
Even the pill makers in Cloudcore valley could not stop praising how amazing those recipes were.
Pill makers were a level above dicine makers. If the pill makers would praise those recipes, it ant that the recipes were indeed brilliant.
If that kid was not renowned in the circle, and those recipes were fortuitous encounters, it ant that he was easy to deal with.
All it would take was so intimidation, and those recipes would belong to Cloudcore Valley. When that happened, they would dominate the market, and all the profits would be theirs.
“Are you still trying to deny it, kid?”
He laughed mockingly and looked at Tang Hao.
“I didn’t expect you to be a despicable person, Storekeeper Tang. You’ve stolen the recipes from soone else and made illicit money. I don’t want your pills anymore. Give back my money!”
“You’re not a storekeeper but a thief. Bah! Red Leaf Mountain will not conduct business with a despicable person like you. Quick, return my money.”
“I want a refund!”
“Give back my money!”
The people from the various factions started to wave their arms and shout. They sounded furious.
Tang Hao’s expression beca gloomier and gloomier as he looked at those people with an ice-cold gaze.
Those people must know the inside story, but they stabbed him in the back anyway.
They were so eager when they did business with him in the past, but they turned on him so easily.
“Very well, you guys!” Tang Hao said coldly.
In an instant, the shouting stopped for a mont.
Many of those people cowered and dared not et Tang Hao’s eyes because of guilt. However, most of them had cold and disdainful expressions on their faces.
They had thought that Storekeeper Tang was the disciple of a master dicine maker. By befriending him, they would be able to hook up with his master. However, they did not expect that the guy was a fake prodigy who did not have a master.
He was quite skilled in making dicine, but he was not really a prodigy. It ant that he had no value.
The only thing of value that he possessed were those recipes, but if Cloudcore Valley had reverse engineered them, then he had lost all his value as a dicine maker.
Soone without value was rely a worthless piece of trash. There was no reason for them to flatter him.
“You’re the one who deceived us in the first place, you brat! How can you bla us? If I were you, I’d just comply with Cloudcore Valley so I won’t lose my life.”
“That’s right, who do you think you are!”
They started mocking and ridiculing him.
“Let give you so advice, kid. Just comply with us and confess your cris. Perhaps we’ll show you so rcy and spare your life,” the person from the Cloudcore Valley said shrilly.
“You... you’ve gone too far! You’re the ones who stole the recipe, yet you are slandering Brother Tang. Cloudcore Valley and you all... don’t you have any sense of sha?” Zhao Liu scolded indignantly.
That person was startled. He began laughing loudly.
“Cloudcore Valley stole soone else’s recipe? Haha! What a joke. Do you think Cloudcore Valley needs to stoop to stealing recipes?”
Zhao Liu did not have a retort to that.
Cloudcore Valley was indeed an extrely influential force in the dicine-making circle.
“But the recipe clearly belongs to Brother Tang. If it’s really yours, why did it take an elder in seclusion for you to find out?” Zhao Liu said again.
Instantly, the crowd started to whisper among each other.
“That’s true! Why would Cloudcore Valley keep away such a precious recipe? It doesn’t make sense that no one knew about the recipe!”
That person hurriedly said, “What’s so strange about that? Cloudcore Valley has a long history and a vast library for recipes. It’s not out of the ordinary that sothing like this happened!
“Why don’t you ask the kid to explain where he got his recipes? He’ll definitely say that he picked it up. Who would believe such nonsense?”
As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at Tang Hao.
Everyone turned to look at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao grinned and smiled. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I didn’t pick up those recipes.”
That person was stunned. “You didn’t pick them up? Then how did you get them? Tell !”
“I ca up with them myself, of course!” Tang Hao said calmly.
That person was extrely shocked.
The people in the crowd were also stunned.
The next mont, there was a burst of laughter.
“Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter. Could you have co up with such an amazing recipe? Your shalessness knows no bounds!”
The people from the Cloudcore Valley laughed the loudest.
The people from the various factions were also laughing loudly. They did not expect that the kid to be so stubborn.
Even Zhao Liu’s expression beca a little strange.
It was not that he did not believe Tang Hao’s claim, but he thought that Tang Hao was too young to co up with such an amazing formula.
That was too absurd!
“What? You don’t believe ?”
Tang Hao was not annoyed. He spoke calmly.
“Only a fool would believe you!” The man from Cloudcore Valley sneered, “Do you think that you’re a prodigy? Stop dreaming!”
“It’s fine if you don’t believe . We’ll do this by the rules then!” Tang Hao said.
“What rules?” The man exclaid in astonishnt.
“That’s simple, a duel! Have you heard of it? I, Tang Ritian, challenge Cloudcore Valley to a duel. Whoever wins can lay claim to the recipes. Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
Tang Hao raised his hand and pointed at the people of the Cloudcore Valley.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire street fell silent.
One could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
‘That kid wants to challenge Cloudcore Valley?
‘Oh my god! Did I mishear?’
That was the funniest joke they had ever heard in their lives. It was even funnier than the one just now.
“Is that kid crazy?”
“He’s definitely crazy. Who does he think he is? How dare he challenge Cloudcore Valley? Doesn’t he know how powerful they are? They have many master dicine makers. Cloudcore Valley is the authority in dicine making in this region. Tang Ritian is nothing!”
The people from the Cloudcore Valley laughed out loud again. They were overjoyed.
“You’re really gutsy, kid! Alright, we’ll accept your challenge!”
The man agreed readily. He laughed in his heart, ‘He’s a total idiot!’
