This was Jiang Li's first feeling after regaining consciousness. His head felt as if it had been kicked in the face by a donkey, and it hurt so much that it seemed to have been deformed.
I opened my eyes with difficulty, and the scene I saw was a carriage that was moving.
As the wooden body of the car swayed and rose and fell, the pain points on his head also jumped back and forth, making him grimace in pain.
He endured the severe pain, opened his eyes, and observed the surrounding environment.
It was an enclosed space surrounded by blackened wooden boards. There were some young men and women dressed in ancient robes sitting together around him. Some of them looked at him with gloating eyes, while most of them completely ignored him.
He concluded that he was lying on the floor. The damp and moldy smell and the cold and wet touch made him very uncomfortable. He struggled to get up.
But at this moment, a sharp pain suddenly rose from the depths of his mind.
It was as if the intracranial pressure suddenly increased, accompanied by a pain as if the brain was about to burst. Many unfamiliar life memories flashed by like a kaleidoscope of light and flooded into my mind all at once.
Jiang Li kicked his legs, rolled his eyes, and fainted again.
. . . .
"Jiang Li! Wake up! Jiang Li!..."
In a daze, Jiang Li heard someone calling him. It seemed that his consciousness, which had been floating in the air, gradually settled down, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Am I... traveling through time? Jiang Li could still remember the smell of smoke when the holographic game cabin short-circuited and caught fire.
The anti-theft door at home was extremely strong. I was probably already cremated before the rescue workers broke in.
What's more, this style of ancient carriages and wooden boards covered with mildew could still be seen in movies and TV shows with ancient backgrounds in my time.
Recalling the extra memories in his mind, Jiang Li had some basic understanding of his current identity and the basic situation of this world.
This world is very similar to the ancient China, or to the ancient times in legends and fantasies, because it is said that there are real immortals here! Coincidentally, his current body is called Jiang Li, the legitimate son of a martial arts family.
Because it was the first child, he was named "the beginning of dawn", implying that he would have many children and grandchildren in the future. Generally speaking, this name is a literary version of "Zhao Di".
In a test half a month ago, the original body was very lucky and found out that he had the aptitude to cultivate immortality, which is commonly known as spiritual roots.
As the saying goes, it is hard to find the chance to become an immortal. Everyone wants to become an immortal, but at the same time, each sect also wants to recruit more and better disciples to enrich and strengthen itself.
Even if a beggar gets the chance to become an immortal, who can say that he won't soar to the sky?
Therefore, as long as you have spiritual roots, most sects will not reject you.
It's just that his original father, Jiang Yuanshan, the head of the Jiang family, has obviously been in the social world for too long. In order for Jiang Li to become a disciple of a sect of immortal cultivation, he spent a considerable amount of money to make arrangements.
Now, Jiang Li is on the carriage heading to the immortal cultivation sect.
After raising myself from the ground, the headache was much relieved.
He looked at the person who woke him up, and it was a big boy with a childish face.
He has a round face, a big nose, and thick lips, but his eyes are particularly small. He looks a little funny, but he has an aura of majesty without even being angry, and it is obvious that he is not an ordinary child.
"Hey, Jiang Li, you finally woke up. If it was a few hours later, they might have thrown you on the roadside to feed the wolves."
When the older boy saw Jiang Li wake up, he smiled a few times as if he was very happy.
Jiang Li covered his head and searched his memory, and soon found out the identity of the person in front of him.
"Thank you, Yan Hong."
There is always a difference between being well-prepared and not being well-prepared. At least the boys and girls traveling in the same convoy with him are not born civilians.
This Yan Hong was the son of a prince in their country. Although he was not a legitimate son, he was highly regarded. It was obvious that his status was much higher than that of this so-called descendant of a martial arts family.
"Hey, we are brothers after all, so get up first."
Yan Hong supported Jiang Li and helped him up from the ground. Although he looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, the strength coming from his arms was definitely greater than that of his adult self in his previous life.
"And keep this thing for yourself. I was quick to save it for you this time. Don't drop it again."
Before Jiang Li could be surprised, Yan Hong gently stuffed a small cloth bag into his hand.
Jiang Li took it in his hand and touched it. It was hard, round and cold, like a jade pendant.
A memory quickly emerged in my mind.
"My son, Ali, this item is of great value. It was obtained from an immortal with a large sum of money. It can exempt you from the chores of the immortal for two years and allow you to ascend to immortality directly! You must keep it properly and do not lose it!"
"You are going to seek immortality. The journey is long and the future is uncertain. This is the last thing your father and family can do for you. I hope you can become an immortal and carry forward the Jiang family!"
In my memory, he was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and broad shoulders. That was the original body's father, a first-class martial arts master who was said to have developed internal strength.
Jiang Li quickly checked his whole body and found that all the valuables had been taken away. You know, because he was going on a long journey, Jiang Yuanshan also prepared a lot of gold, silver and money for him in addition to this jade pendant.
He breathed a sigh of relief after opening the cloth bag and confirming that the jade token was intact. Fortunately, he had the "little prince" Yan Hong secretly helping him, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
As for cultivating immortality, it was an eternal fantasy in his previous life. The holographic game that Jiang Li played before his death was also about cultivating immortality. It is impossible to say that he had no idea about it.
He didn't want to work as a menial worker for two years in vain just because he lost the treasure that his family had paid a huge price for.
Even though we were beaten like this at the beginning, the current situation is not without its benefits.
It is true that he accepted the original owner's memories, but there are still huge differences between him and the original Jiang Li in terms of personality and habits. If he lives with the original owner's parents and family day and night, nine out of ten times he will be discovered to be wrong.
Feudal superstition was very strong in this era, and beliefs in gods and ghosts did exist. It would be bad if some wandering immortal came and took him away.
But now he has left home. As everyone knows, to cultivate immortality, one must cut off the worldly affairs and leave behind the past. After a few years, not only will one's personality change, but some cultivators' gender may even change.
"Thank you so much, Yanhong. I would be finished without this."
Jiang Li carefully put the jade token into his inner pocket and took a deep breath because of the pain on his wound.
"Hey, hey, no need to be polite, we are brothers after all."
There was a naive smile on Yan Hong's big round face.
"But as a brother, why didn't you wake me up while I was lying on the floor for so long?"
Jiang Li's sudden question made Yan Hong's expression a little awkward, and he smiled awkwardly.
"Brother, you can't blame me for this. Who told you to provoke Yan Fengyue?"
Yan Hong’s words made Jiang Li stunned. He seemed to remember that the original owner of this body was not a good person.
It seemed like she had caused some trouble and was beaten to death by a group of people, and then he took over her place.
"She is a princess. You don't even count how many suitors she has in this caravan. Even though I don't like her, I still have to call her aunt because of seniority."
"So, I can only help you secretly in this matter."
Listening to Yan Hong's words, Jiang Li also remembered the reason why his original body was beaten.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, no matter from which angle he looked at it, the beating he received was what he deserved.
The original Jiang Li could be said to be an example of being unlearned and unskillful. There was no hope for him to learn literature or martial arts. Being able to read and write was already a blessing from his ancestors.
Do you think the scenes in TV dramas where the young knight encounters evil young men robbing women every time he enters the city are necessary for the plot?
You are wrong. There are indeed bad guys who are always trying to get money from people. It is really difficult to avoid running into them.
That is to say, this body of his is still young and lacks ability, and is also under the control of his father, who forbids him from breaking his yang before he learns martial arts.
So, usually it can only satisfy your craving for food.
It is worth mentioning that this brother Yan Hong met him in this way. Unexpectedly, this drinking buddy turned out to be surprisingly reliable.
And Yan Fengyue is the youngest sister of the emperor of their kingdom. It is said that she was born to the late king and a foreign woman. She has skin as white as snow and a tall figure.
That delicate face of the mixed-race boy was a complete blow to most of the boys in the convoy.
As it turns out, Jiang Li is not very smart. It's okay for him to act arrogantly in his own area, but at least he has his family to back him up.
But in this team, his family background is probably not the worst, but it is not much better either.
Seeing that Yan Fengyue still didn't know how to restrain himself, the consequences of his reckless talking were really unbearable to watch.

Jiang Li guessed what happened later without having to recall it. After the flower-guarding messengers who heard the news beat up the original owner, he passed away and was resurrected in this body.
However, recalling some details before being beaten, Jiang Li still found something wrong. Although those people were not Yan Fengyue's subordinates, they almost all obeyed his orders.
It seems that Yan Fengyue's skills are much more powerful than Yan Hong's. In just a short period of time, she has gathered such a force of influence in the team by relying on her family background and beauty.
Humph, it's not simple. It's really impossible for there to be any pure and simple people in the royal family.
"Okay, this is my fault. Thank you anyway, Yan Hong. But do you have any medicine for my wounds? Those guys stole everything I had."
Jiang Li touched the back of his head and saw a bright red patch. His body was also covered with large bruises and hematomas. If not treated properly, it was hard to say whether his injuries would worsen again.
"Hey, I've prepared it for you."
Yan Hong handed over a small porcelain jar with a smile.
"This is the pear blossom cream made secretly by Beiyang Temple. It is a rare treasure that is hard to come by even for martial artists. It is very effective for treating injuries from falls and won't even leave scars. The ladies in the palace all say it is good after using it."
"Okay, take care of your wound quickly and come out for dinner. I can't stay here any longer. If someone finds out that I'm here to bring you medicine, I won't be able to stay in the team."
After saying that, he opened the wooden door of the carriage, transformed into a nimble fat man, and ran away like the wind.
Jiang Li felt somewhat helpless. What his original body had done was really not worthy of being made public. After being beaten up by a crowd of people, he became a laughing stock to many people.
If Yan Hong gets too close to me, it would be easy for him to be isolated as well.
Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. The important thing is to treat the injury quickly.
He took off his clothes and evenly applied a layer of ointment on the injured areas. The stimulation from applying the ointment was very painful.
However, Yan Hong was not bragging. The effect of the pear blossom cream was really good. Just a few minutes after it was applied, the coolness penetrated the skin and acted on the injured area, greatly relieving his pain.
[Apply pear blossom cream to slowly heal the wounds on yourself]
At this moment, a piece of text popped up in the center of his field of vision, and then slowly disappeared.
The sudden change made Jiang Li surprised and happy for a moment.
I quickly called out in my consciousness.
Sure enough, just like the holographic online game he had played before, as his thoughts progressed, a translucent blue light screen appeared before his eyes.
【Name: Jiang Li】

[Slow healing: Restore 2 health points per hour, lasting 6 hours] (-+)
[Moderate Injury: All attributes reduced by 20%, lasting 72 hours] (-+)
[Hunger: Reduce physical strength by 1 point every hour]
This... This... Isn't this the game and character panel I played before? I actually traveled through time with it!
Jiang Li took a quick glance at the information on the panel and got a general idea of it. Apart from the additional Suihu Gong and Kaishan Sword, which should be abilities left by the original owner, this body was so weak that it was impossible to look directly at it.
However, what made him happy was that there were two more buttons (-+), one plus and one minus, behind the status bar of his panel.
It seems that something magical must have happened when he died and traveled through time, because not only did the game panel travel with him, but even the cheat code that caused the game cabin to short-circuit and catch fire was brought along with him.
Jiang Li excitedly used his mind to click on the plus sign behind the [Slow Healing] state and held it for five seconds.
[Slow healing: Restore 2 health points per hour, lasting ∞] (-)
The duration behind the slow healing suddenly changed, and a symbol representing infinity appeared there.
It really works!
He pressed and held the minus sign behind [Moderate Injury] for five seconds, and then this negative status disappeared directly in Jiang Li's status bar.
Although the blood volume that had been lost was not restored, he felt his whole body relax, and he could move freely without being restricted or hindered by his injuries.
