After putting the medicinal ingredients away, Tang Yan found some scrap paper and began sketching on it.
The two shops he had bought had been reduced to ashes in the Gao Family's great fire and needed rebuilding. Over the course of a night, Tang Yan finished designing the plans for the Reach the Summit Pill Shop.
The next day, Tang Yan brought in a construction crew.
With a generous payment on offer, the foreman immediately gathered his workers. Even the craftsmen who had been planning to work elsewhere were summoned.
Construction and interior finishing took only a week in total.
Fortunately, everyone here was a martial artist, and the building materials had been prepared using special secret methods. Otherwise, Tang Yan really would not have dared use a building completed in a week.
Just like that, a magnificent shop rose from the ground.
Buying those two shops had been like snatching food from a tiger's jaws. The affair had stirred up a storm of gossip throughout Southern Wilderness and attracted considerable discussion.
Moreover, Tang Yan had incorporated classical Huaxia elements into the shop's exterior. Beautiful, imposing, and full of charm, it drew plenty of attention as soon as it was completed.
Tang Yan personally hung a huge sign bearing the words "Reach the Summit" above the shop.
"Brother, I've laid all the groundwork for you. Whether you can get off the ground is up to you now," Tang Yan murmured as he looked at the finally completed Reach the Summit Pill Shop.
With the shop's affairs settled, he returned to his lodgings, only to sense that something about the atmosphere was different.
"Brother Yan!" A familiar voice rang out, and Tang Yan stiffened.
"Brother Yan! You're back!" Several more voices rang out, and Tang Yan's heart gave a sudden leap.
