Luo Kai and Ken was just casually shopping buying things here and there, Luo Kai spotted someone familiar.
It was actually the old vendor who sold him a seed.
[ The old vendor from Chapter 4 ]
Luo Kai approached the familiar man.
Luo Kai : “Old man you seemed familiar, why are you here?”
Old Man : “OH! I remember you lad, you’re the one who want be a farmer right?!”
Luo Kai : *cough “Anyway old man, you’re everywhere. Just a while ago you’re in the Blue Gale City.”
Ken whispering to himself.
“Master actually dreamed to become a farmer?! What a noble person have I followed. Whatever master’s dream is I just need to protect him…………… or his plants????”
Old Man : “What do you mean by a while, it’s been months since then. Sales aren’t good in that city so of course I need to relocate.”
Luo Kai : “Alright, so do you have anything good on you there?”
Old Man : “Not really, but what did you came here for? Only dark attribute cultivator would come here. This is not a tourist spot you know.”
Luo Kai : “Ah, I’m just helping my friend here. He’s a dark attribute cultivator but he just started cultivating so we’re actually getting supplies and heading to the location advised by the map shop owner.”
Luo Kai and the Old Man exchange some conversation since they are bit of an acquaintance they got a bit of a conversation.
Old Man : “Right, that location is good, not many strong beast, just weaker once. I also know that place, I’ve been there when I was young. I’ve got a bit of information, you wanna here it?”
Luo Kai : “If it’s you old man I trust you. What is it?”
Old Man : “Just a few mile in the vicinity of you location supposed to go, If I remember correctly heading north there is a rare dark attribute fruit, I just don’t know if someone already got that treasure or not.”
Luo Kai : “Can you describe it old man?”
Old Man : “Oh, the tree is actually rather big it’s leaves are gray but the fruit does not grow on branches or leaves but the trunk itself but, but the real treasure is actually a fruit that grow on its roots. The black fruit on the trunk is valuable on itself but it you ingest it together with the black fruit that grow on its roots it’s said that one in Human Phase will be able to directly breakthrough Earth Phase. But only people with dark attribute are able to ingest it, if you don’t have the dark attribute, ingesting it is poisonous and you might directly die if you’re lucky you might just live as a cripple.”
Luo Kai : “That’s a very good treasure, thank you old man! How do I repay you for this information.”
Old Man : “Hoho, just treat me a meal if you manage to come back alive young lad.”
Luo Kai : “Alright, if we succeed in this I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Old Man : “I’m looking forward for it now.”
Luo Kai : “By the way, I still haven’t got your name old man, we can be considered a small acquaintance now, so asking your name isn’t too much right?”
Old Man : “Hmmmm, name huh. Well, they call me Dusty Sam. You can call me Dusty or Sam, whatever you want.”
Luo Kai : “Dusty??? seems familiar, where have I heard of it? Bu that’s a fit name for you old man.”
Old Man : “I heard that a lot.”
Luo Kai : “Alright Old Sam we’ll be going now. I’ll treat you a meal when I come back.”
Luo Kai bids his farewell to Old Sam. They continue to walk through the market and buy all the supplies they need. They stock as many as possible but since he got Alpha he doesn’t really need to worry about storage space, but he still bought a small storage ring for Ken to carry in case they got separated Ken would have a supply on his own.
After getting everything they need, they stated to depart for Ghost Emperor Mountain. They encountered small and weaker beast and Luo Kai have taken the liberty to make Ken and lil Warwick train, surprisingly Ken and Warwick has a chemistry for battling together though there is still a gap in their strength they pretty much fight well together.
They have been fighting, grinding and training for a couple of days already they are nearing the location that they are planning to head initially. Occasionally some stronger beast approach them mostly at the mid stage of the Human Phase, Luo Kai would deal with it as the duo are still a bit lacking dealing with this level of beast. It’s getting late so Luo Kai decided to camp, they cleared small bushes and pick some small twigs to make campfire, they set up tents and cook some meat from beasts they hunt. Meat from beast are beneficial for cultivators.
Luo Kai : “Continue you’re cultivation here, I’ll stay up ang guard the camp.”
Ken : “I can’t do that master, you should rest, I will guard the camp.”
Luo Kai : “Shut up kid! Do as I say!”

Ken : “But master…………… you’re also a kid, right?”
Luo Kai : “You talking back to me now?”
Ken : “N-No master!! Alright I’ll continue cultivating. Please be safe master!”
Luo Kai guard the camp, since there was nothing to do he continued to comprehend the Radiant Immortal True Alchemy. He isn’t in the slightest bothered of what was going on outside since Alpha would be able to detect anything if it gets closer to them.

“Shit are we surrounded? It’s dangerous to stay here anymore we need to get out.”
Luo Kai : “KEN! LIL BUDDY!! Get out! We need to get out of here!!”
Ken : “What’s wrong master?!”
Luo Kai : “There are a lot of beast in the vicinity. We need to get out of here quickly else we get surrounded. We’ll die without a doubt if that happens.”
Ken : “Umm, master I hate to say it but seems like they are here already!”
Luo Kai : “What?!! SHIT!!”

“We need to finish this fast, the commotion of the battle will surely attract nearby beast. Ken and Warwick can team up to deal one I’ll deal with the others.”
Luo Kai : “You and Warwick team up to deal one, I’ll take care of the rest. Back me up after you deal with one. Be careful the weakest of them are at least 5th Stage.”
Everyone is holding their position waiting to the wolves to attack when all of a sudden a burst of light befall the wolves and wiped them in a instant. It was an attack brimming with pure Holy attribute. Luo Kai spotted the silhouette of the perpetrators attack. He’s standing atop the cliff where the Wolf pack leader was previously standing.
“What a strong attack the wolves didn’t even have a chance to react at all. But who is that? He doesn’t seemed to be an enemy. He must be just a passerby. Anyway it’s good that we’re safe.”
Just when Luo Kai let his guard down he felt a really strong murderous intent, it was coming from the direction of the mysterious man. All of a sudden the man’s silhouette vanished but the murderous intent got stronger. He felt shivers on his back. He panickedly looked at his back but all he could see was the shadow of the strong man.
“W-W-WHERE IS KEN?!!!”
Luo Kai was shaken to the core, they did not spent a lot of time but he’s taking a liking to Ken already. The strong man returned to cliff in an instant after taking Ken and knocking him out.
“YOU BAASSSTTTAAARRRDDDD!!! GIVE ME BACK MY 60 SILVER TAELS AND 25,000 POINTSSSS!!!!”
“.………………………………………..”
“Kid I don’t know what you’re talking about but being with this little guys would only bring danger to you.”
“I don’t know anything about dangers but that guys right there is my friend.”
“A friend ha? You’re treating a slave as a friend?”
“What do you know?! You’re a strong person who only see the lives of weaker people as nothing more than ants.”
“.………………………………..”
“Alright, I see you as an ant, what can you do about it? Can you even beat me? I can kill you even if I am just standing here.”
“Heh! I am not you’re opponent right now but how about a hundred years later. You might not be able to bully me at that time.”
“HAHA! HAHAHAHA!! You’re nothing but a poor farmer but you dreamed of defeating me in a hundred years?!! HAHAHAHA!!”
“Oi! Old thing!! Who told you I am a farmer??”
*cough * cough
“Anyway, I’ll be taking this guy with me, you can find me if you’re strong enough. The origin of this guy is a bit complicated, you won’t have any peace being with this guys.”
“I know, I know of his origin. He’s a descendant of Asura Clan right?!”
“.……………………………”
“KID!! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!”
“I just know the first time I saw him.”
“.………………………………..”, “You’re not simple either, aren’t you?”
“You’re not simple either, old man or should I call you Old Sam?”
“.……………………………………………….”
Luo Kai whispers to himself.
“Shit so the reason he said that we could come back alive is because he already planned to kill us or at least kill me. So he’s been tailing us for a while now. What a cunning old thing.

“Old Sam who?”
“Hoh? Feigning ignorance are we? Then shall I call you Peasant Supreme then?”
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“BRAT!!! YOU DON’T VALUE YOU’RE LIFE?!!”
Peasant Supreme released a part of his aura and made beast within a few miles retreat, every living thing within his area of effect suffered heavily from his outrageous aura. Although no one died because he didn’t intend to they still got hard time breathing and moving.
Peasant Supreme whispering to himself.
“How did this little brat know I am? I am using a concealing technique. All he’s able to see is just a black shadow. I’m so confused, is he using a really high grade artifact? But it doesn’t make sense at all. Even if he managed to know who I am, there’s just no way for him to my identity as the Peasant Supreme, everything just doesn’t make sense with this guys. I feel like he can see all through me.”
Old Sam : “BRAT!! WHO ARE YOU??!! You better not lie or else I’ll kill you!!”
Luo Kai : “Heh! Old Sam, just as a you have you’re own reason to hide your identity I also have mine.”
Old Sam : “KID! DON’T TASTE MY PATIENCE!!”
Luo Kai bowed his head a bit and exude a smile of victory.
Luo Kai : “Once upon a time, there was a man who wished to withstand a nuclear bomb. The man developed his muscles, honed his mind, perfected his skills. However, there were yet heights he could not attain. But I couldn’t allow myself to give up. So after years upon years of training, I arrived at a single solution. If I don’t want to be vaporized in a nuclear explosion……. I simply have to become nuclear myself.”
Old Sam : “What nonse-----”
Luo Kai : “Let the true meaning of “almighty” be carved into your soul. This is my almighty power.”
Old Sam : “………………………………………………………………..”
Luo Kai : “I……………..AM…………………ATOMIC!”
Luo Kai mumbling to himself.
“That was so cooooooll!! That was fucking awesome. I’ve always wanted to say that shit! Hmm… The second part was somewhat unnecessary for the introduction but nonetheless it all cool so who cares…. I’m shaking from fear and excitement.. I might just die from what I did saying Cid’s line is worth it. I am shadow, hell yeah!!!”
Old Sam : “KID?!”
“WAHHHHHH!! He’s angry!! He’s fucking angry!! I’m dead!! I’m dead for sure!!”
Lou Kai slowly looked up, acting calm and unfazed.
Luo Kai : “What?”
Old Sam : “Teach me that!”
Luo Kai : “Eh? Ha? Oh? Wait what???”
Old Sam : *serious *ssseeerriiioooouuussssss
“What the fuck is wrong with this old man? Just moments ago he’s releasing his aura as if he want to crush me to death now he want’s to learn Cid’s punch line? Ahhh Cid, hail to you, you saved me.”
Luo Kai teach Old Sam the famous I am atomic line and other cool line from the characters from his previous life.
Old Sam : “I like you kid, you have goodies on you. But I’m still taking this kid with me. Let’s meet at the city after you get out. Still you need to get the fruit I told you about.”
Luo Kai : “But old Sam how’d you know that Ken is an Asura?”
Old Sam : “I lived for so long kid, I at least know a thing or two.”
“Look at this old fart he just don’t want to admit that he’s also an Asura, anyway better not look too deep with it.”
Luo Kai : “Alright old man I’ll see you in the city after a while.”
Old Sam : “Good!”
Luo Kai and Peasant Supreme departed ways after a few hours rest and the sun’s radiance illuminate the forest. And Luo Kai heeded deep to the forest to look for the black fruit Old Sam was talking about.
