“Damn it, old man… Slow down!”
Nash grumbled.
The old man did not seem to hear him and continued walking ahead..
Finally, after a long while, the old man finally stopped in front of a tree that did not have any leaves
hanging from its branches.

He plucked a piece of Ganoderma Lucidum from the bark and chewed on it for a while before. tossing it
into his basket.
Nash took advantage of the break his master had taken from walking to speed up. Clouds of yellow-
colored soil had already formed behind him.
Despite that, the distance between himself and his master did not change.
Nash paused to catch his breath, and he muttered to himself, “Am… Am I in a dream?”
The old man turned around slowly. His face was not a familiar one.
An odd look appeared on Nash’s face. “Who are you?”
The old man grinned. “I’ll tell you once you catch me!”
Then, the old man vanished into thin air once more.
Nash was speechless.
How was he supposed to catch the man?
He had not even managed to catch up to him when he was walking so slowly.
Now, he had vanished into thin air.
His master had already passed on.
That damn old man.
Nash grumbled to himself as he continued plodding forth.
He noticed a row of footprints when he arrived at the tree.
The old man had not teleported.
Instead, he had been traveling at an astonishingly fast speed.
A solemn look immediately appeared on Nash’s face. If he met someone like that in real life, he would
not even stand a fighting chance.
He followed the footsteps and ran as quickly as he could.
Wave upon wave of true energy washed over him.
He had no idea how long he ran for.
Nash ran from when the sun set and rose.
He ran across deserts and ins.
He ran as the seasons changed from the cruel summer to the forever winter.
He aged from being a handsome young man to a middle-aged man.
No one knew how much time had actually passed, but Nash looked like a man from the mountains
now.
His hair had grown out, and his beard reached his chest.
His shirt and pants had vanished sometime during his journey.
All he wore now was a pair of underpants.
At the edge of a cliff, Nash finally caught up with the old man.
The man had changed outfits.
Now, he wore white robes that gave him an ethereal-looking air.
His white hair fluttered in the breeze, and the light shining upon him made him look like a fallen angel
from the heavens.
The old man was standing with his hands behind his back.
He gazed at the sprawlingnds beyond the mountains.
Nash paused. “Who on earth are you?”
That man was not his master.
Yet, his voice sounded exactly like his master’s voice.
“Who am I…”
The old man closed his eyes.
He seemed exhausted, as if the weight of the entire universe were on his shoulders.
“I don’t know who I am either!
“Some call me the Divine Farmer!
“Others address me as King of the Sun!
“However, I prefer being addressed as the Divine Farmer!”
The old man did not turn around.
His voice sounded like it came from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It felt like it had
be one with the sky and the earth.
A shocked look appeared on Nash’s face, “D-Divine Farmer… It’s the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron
J]
The minute he finished his sentence.
A gold-colored streak of lightning shed through the sky.
A massive brass cauldronnded before Nash.
“What an honor it is to meet you, Divine Farmer!
“I will sample all the herbs in the world and concoct medicines to cure all illnesses!”
Once he finished saying that to the Divine Farmer, the brass cauldron transformed itself into a single
ray of light. It burrowed itself into the space between Nash’s eyebrows.
A magnificent strength sent Nash flying backward.
His surroundings turned into countless pieces once again.
His fragmented memories began piecing themselves back together, and he also gained several new
memories in the process.
Back in his bedroom, Nash bolted upright from his bed.
