Bok Taejin shot the burly man a grateful look, but the man didn't react—he simply let him lean against him in silence.
Then, another older man spoke up. "Im Beomhyeon, you stay here and watch over him. Later, just bring him straight back to the village. We'll check the area for so more."
The burly man nodded his head. "Third Uncle, go ahead. Leave the boy to —don't worry."
With that, the group of people dispersed, leaving only the burly man behind.
With so food in his stomach, Bok Taejin slowed down his eating slightly.
He was thinking—how should he explain who he was?
The way these people dressed was completely different from his world, and even their language wasn't the sa.
Bok Taejin was certain now—he had transmigrated.
His soul had taken over soone else's body.
He must have inherited the original body's mories, which was why he could understand what these people were saying.
He figured he could probably speak their language too, but when he tried to open his mouth, it still felt weird.
Besides, the mories of the original owner were still blurry.
He couldn't recall anything useful for now.
Just like that, he slowly finished the flatbread.
The burly man then stood up while casually grabbing the back of Bok Taejin's collar and lifting him up with ease.
"Kid, can you walk?"
Bok Taejin was just about to nod when a wave of dizziness hit him.
His eyes rolled shut, and he lost consciousness.
The burly man patted his face, checked his breathing, and seeing that he was still alive, he simply slung him over his back and strode swiftly toward the village at the foot of the mountain.
In his deep sleep, Bok Taejin was experiencing an incredibly vivid dream.
He first relived the past fourteen years of the original owner's life.
The moryless childhood passed quickly—he only knew that he was born in a poverty-stricken village.
Due to his frail health, his family who are unable to afford to care for him, decided to abandon him.
By chance, the Sect Leader of the One Flower Sect, who was guarding a nearby village, ca down from the mountain and found him, he then taking him back to the sect.
Although he grew up in the immortal sect, he had no aptitude for cultivation, so he just serving as a nial worker in the mountains.
Not long ago, the Sect Leader suddenly summoned him.
He embedded the One Flower Sect's Sect Leader Token into his body, and helped him refine it.
Finally, he inford him that he had now beco the 1,199th Sect Leader of the One Flower Sect.
Imdiately after, the Sect Leader passed away with a peaceful smile, leaving no further instructions.
His body didn't even require burial—it directly turned to ash and dispersed.
The original owner was a simple-hearted child.
After the forr Sect Leader died, he stood guard at the mountain gate.
Only when the Sect Leader's food supplies dwindled to almost nothing did he finally realize—he was the only one left on the mountain.
