The Immortal Gourd: A Farmer's Path to Ascension

Zhang Ergou is a starving orphan with patched clothes, no land, and one painfully modest dream: to become a farmer with a few fields of his own. Then, in the middle of a bitter winter, he finds a battered yellow gourd buried beneath the snow. The gourd can shrink at his command, hold far more than it should, purify water, and turn ordinary crops into miraculous harvests. Rice ripens in days. Food stored within it strengthens his body. Even frozen, barren ground can bloom beneath its water. To Ergou, this is not a weapon for conquering the heavens. It is a chance to eat his fill, buy a pair of proper trousers, and finally own the soil beneath his feet. But every extra sack of grain invites questions, and every step beyond mortal life brings him closer to greedy landlords, martial experts, wandering tricksters, demons, sects, and cultivators who would kill for the treasure hidden under his clothes. Armed with a farmer’s stubborn patience, a poor man’s caution, and a mysterious immortal gourd, Ergou will plant his way out of hunger, fight his way beyond fate, and stumble from a tiny mountain field onto the long road of cultivation. He never asked to rule the immortal world. He only wanted to farm—but the heavens had other plans. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Immortal Gourd: A Farmer's Path to Ascension — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
