Master Hongde of the Ancient Pill Tower, who had been treating Steward Guan, had wanted to ask about the situation, only to be thrown out by a grim-faced Guan Wei. The incident left Hongde fuming.
Now that the Profound Light Pavilion was open, the stir it created immediately gave the Ancient Pill Tower a profound sense of crisis.
Sure enough, just days after the Profound Light Pavilion opened, the Ancient Pill Tower's Pill business plummeted by roughly thirty percent. Moreover, that number only continued to climb as time went on.
The Ancient Pill Tower had originally leased the former Treasure Hall Pavilion to meet business demand, with plans to open it soon.
But with the Profound Light Pavilion causing such a stir, the Ancient Pill Tower was starting to lose confidence in opening the Treasure Hall Pavilion branch.
When even their flagship store was beginning to falter under the Profound Light Pavilion's pressure, the prospects for a new branch were unthinkable.
