A long story?
Didn't that mean there was a story?
Stories were good. He loved hearing stories.
"Come on, tell me. I have no other hobbies—I just like hearing a good story." Chen Changan's gossiping soul instantly burst into flames.
"Uh... since Elder Chen wanted to hear it, I'll tell you."
"I actually heard this from someone else. After all, it happened quite a long time ago."
"I can't remember exactly when, but back then, Ultimate Heaven had many alchemists, and they were scattered everywhere, unable to form any real force."
“Then, an alchemy Prodigy suddenly appeared. Calling his talent in alchemy terrifying would not even be enough—it was ten thousand times more terrifying than terrifying.”
"His appearance pushed Ultimate Heaven to an even more frightening height. His pills were simply too powerful. Because of them, the number of experts kept increasing, becoming several times greater than it had originally been in Ultimate Heaven."
"There were even rumors that it was not several times, but several dozen times."
"Just imagine it—the number of experts in all of Ultimate Heaven suddenly increased several dozenfold. How terrifying was that?"
"And that was only during one period. With those pills appearing, so many years had passed. No one could say how many experts Ultimate Heaven had now."
"It could be said that one person had brought Ultimate Heaven into a golden age, and it had endured without decline for all these years."
"It was precisely because of this that he established an Alchemist Alliance. Alchemists throughout Ultimate Heaven took pride in joining the Alchemist Alliance."
"And all pill formulas were collected and controlled by the Alchemist Alliance. No pill formulas circulated outside."
"A monopoly. That also made the Alchemist Alliance an existence in Ultimate Heaven that no one dared, or wished, to provoke."
