"The Ghost Doctor Sect has arrived!" Song Hao exclaimed in surprise. What he had just seen was Hong Huang, the so-called strategist of the Ghost Doctor Sect, leading a few people hurriedly away. Song Hao had met him once before, so he had some impression of him.
"The Ghost Doctor Sect has arrived here, could it be..." Song Hao suddenly realized and pulled Tang Yu to follow.
"The Ghost Doctor Sect!" Tang Yu realized what was going on.
Hong Huang led a few people out of the town and arrived at a vegetable field on the outskirts of the town. In front of them were two dilapidated and abandoned houses.
At this moment, a person emerged from behind a tree and greeted Hong Huang, saying, "Mr. Hong, the person is inside."
Hong Huang said with a delighted expression, "Good! The boss will reward you handsomely for catching this man."
A group of people quietly crept over and surrounded the house.
"Young Master Ji, a guest has arrived, why don't you come out to greet him?" Hong Huang stood there and said with a smug, sinister smile.
Then a haggard-looking young man with an angry expression walked out of the house; it was Ji Dongyang.
"Hong Huang, you actually chased me all the way here!" Ji Dongyang said angrily.
"Even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't escape my grasp. Hand over the miraculous cure obediently, and I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise, you can go after your stubborn grandfather," Hong Huang sneered.
Ji Dongyang spread his hands and snorted coldly, saying, "Besides these clothes, I have nothing else. I don't know what to give you."
"The 'miracle formula without medicine' is also the 'miracle medicine without a prescription.' This secret must be in your mind. Since you can't hand over anything, then come with us. We'll reveal the secret of the 'miracle formula without medicine' then," Hong Huang said.
"Even if I told you the secret, with your level of intelligence and stupidity, you wouldn't understand it. It would be like talking to a brick wall, so it's all wishful thinking," Ji Dongyang sneered.
"Insolence! But what you say makes sense. Let me tell you a secret. When your grandfather stole the Ghost Doctor Sect's 'Medicine-Free Divine Formula,' it was actually the old sect leader's doing. The 'Medicine-Free Divine Formula' exhausts the secrets of Yin and Yang. Although the Ghost Doctor Sect possessed the original formula, no one could decipher its core secrets. So the old sect leader went along with it, ordering your grandfather to steal Fang Yi, hoping to use his wisdom to finally unlock the ultimate secret of the 'Medicine-Free Divine Formula.' Unexpectedly, your grandfather was indeed no ordinary person; he actually succeeded in researching it. Unfortunately, he was ungrateful and failed to share the results, wanting to keep the wonder for himself, which led to his death." Hong Huang shook his head and said.
"Your Ghost Doctor Sect harbors ulterior motives, yet you are unaware that the 'Medicine-Free Divine Formula' is a lost secret passed down through my Ji family lineage. Somehow, the formula ended up in the hands of the Ghost Doctor Sect several generations ago, and they dared to claim it as their own. If it weren't for my Ji family's possession, how could my family have uncovered its secret in such a short time? This is a unique achievement of my Ji family. Your Ghost Doctor Sect's attempt to seize what's readily available is futile; even if you take my life, you will never obtain the true 'Medicine-Free Divine Formula,'" Ji Dongyang said indifferently.
"Kid, don't be ungrateful. This is no longer your choice. Brothers, take him down." Hong Huang waved his hand impatiently. His men immediately pressed forward.
Ji Dongyang tried to find a rock on the ground to defend himself, but was kicked over. Then two people stepped forward and pinned him down.
"Take him away!" Hong Huang smiled smugly.
"Release him!" A voice rang out, and a young man and woman appeared in front of Hong Huang and the others. They were Song Hao and Tang Yu.
"It's you!" Hong Huang was taken aback when he saw Song Hao. He vividly remembered how, years ago at the Yuehe Copper Mine, someone from the Gate of Life and Death had unexpectedly appeared and helped Song Hao escape unharmed.
Ji Dongyang was also taken aback when he suddenly saw Song Hao.
"Song Hao, is it?" A hint of panic flashed in Hong Huang's eyes as he said, "So you've come here too. It would be best if you didn't interfere in this matter, lest it damage our harmony."
“The person you’re taking away is my friend. Since he doesn’t want to go with you, why force him?” Song Hao said.
“Song Hao!” Hong Huang hesitated for a moment before saying, “I have now left the Ghost Doctor Sect and taken over by another master family. The new master family is closely related to you, so I hope you will not interfere in this matter, otherwise it will put us in a very difficult position.”
"What do you mean? Please explain more clearly." Song Hao frowned.
“Alright, then I’ll tell you the truth, but please move aside to talk.” Hong Huang said, stepping aside.
Song Hao, wary of a trap, secretly slipped a needle into his hand and followed Hong Huang. Tang Yu, on the other hand, kept an eye on the others.
Once he was a little further away from the crowd, Hong Huang clasped his hands in a fist salute to Song Hao and said respectfully, "Mr. Song, my name is Hong Huang. I am currently employed by another family, namely the Tianyi Group, also known as the Tianyi Sect."
"You're from the Heavenly Medicine Sect!" Song Hao exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right. Actually, as early as twenty years ago, when I joined the Ghost Doctor Sect, I was already a member of the Heavenly Doctor Sect. Back then, I was sent by the boss to infiltrate the Ghost Doctor Sect and search for the whereabouts of the Divine Formula Without Medicine. Legend has it that the Divine Formula Without Medicine originated from the Ghost Doctor Sect,” Hong Huang said.
"What? Twenty years ago, the Heavenly Medicine Sect was already paying attention to the Divine Formula without Medicine?" Song Hao asked in surprise.
“Indeed. The Heavenly Physician Sect is the foremost of all medical sects in the world, and all matters related to medicine are closely watched. Mr. Song…” Hong Huang coughed lightly and said, “I have heard about your relationship with the Heavenly Physician Sect. When you fell into the hands of the Ghost Physician Sect, we did not know your identity at the time, so we did not offer any assistance. Please forgive us. I am now working for the Heavenly Physician Sect, so please allow me to take that Ji Dongyang away.”
"The Qi family can actually do such a thing!" Song Hao was utterly disappointed. Qi Yannian, for the sake of a miraculous cure, had once again driven a family to ruin and death.
“I’m sorry, I have no connection whatsoever with the Heavenly Medicine Sect you mentioned. As for Ji Dongyang, you must keep him here as well,” Song Hao said.
“Mr. Song, aren’t you interfering in your own affairs? Besides, I, Hong, am ordered to bring Ji Dongyang back, otherwise he will fall into someone else’s hands. If the medicineless remedy were to be released, it would definitely have a huge impact on Tianyi Group’s current pharmaceutical industry. If not properly prevented, it could even be catastrophic,” Hong Huang said.
Upon hearing this, Song Hao suddenly realized and said, "So you did this to prevent the appearance of the Medicineless God."
“That should be the case. At the same time, I also want to understand what a miraculous cure without medicine is. So please understand the significance of this, Mr. Song, and let me take the person away,” Hong Huang said.
"Using improper means to force people to do things they don't want to do—is this how the Heavenly Medicine Sect, the head of all medical sects in the world, behaves? Please go back and tell your boss that as practitioners of medicine, they should accumulate good deeds and cultivate virtue. Doing such heinous things will bring retribution. You can't take Ji Dongyang away today; you can try if you don't believe me." After saying this, Song Hao turned and walked away.
Hong Huang was taken aback when she heard this.
Song Hao walked back and said to the two men who were holding Ji Dongyang down, "Let him go, don't make us do anything."
The two men, seeing that Hong Huang knew Song Hao, were at a loss and looked at Hong Huang.
Hong Huang, who had returned, waved his hand, indicating that the man should be released. Then, helplessly, he said to Song Hao, "Mr. Song, you are responsible for this matter. This person is of great importance. It would be good if you could take him back. I dare not make things difficult for you, but if the boss asks in the future, I must tell the truth. Farewell!" After saying this, Hong Huang left with his men, feeling helpless. The man knew Song Hao's identity and understood Song Hao's future status in the Tianyi Group, so he did not dare to act rashly.
"What's going on?" Tang Yu asked in surprise upon seeing this.
“I’ll tell you later,” Song Hao said. Then he said to Ji Dongyang, “You were frightened! You’re alright now.”
Ji Dongyang snorted coldly and said, "Don't pretend to be a good person. It's obvious that you're in cahoots. Stop with your schemes."
Song Hao shook his head and said, "You misunderstand. We were just passing by when we accidentally discovered the Ghost Doctor Sect, so we followed them. It was a coincidence. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. You can leave now, but you must be very careful in the future. There are probably quite a few people looking for you and wanting to get that miraculous prescription without medicine."
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongyang asked doubtfully, "Are you really going to let me go?"
Song Hao smiled helplessly and said, "If you're not leaving, then we'll leave." He pulled Tang Yu and turned to walk away.
"Wait a minute!" Ji Dongyang hesitated for a moment before calling out.
