My Immortal Rice Bucket

Fang Dou, a transmigrator mistaken for a penniless monk, scratches a living selling rice in a dog-eat-dog world. His dilapidated temple offers little solace, and even a simple meal of meat is a luxury. But Fang Dou harbors a secret: a mystical 'rice bucket' that only he can see. Each day, he extracts a 'peck of immortal rice,' not only providing sustenance but supercharging his body, granting him incredible strength with every grain. His life takes an unexpected turn when he buys a dying, mangy fighting cock, unaware it's no ordinary bird, but a legendary Golden Rooster, sought by powerful cultivators. Though Fang Dou struggles to even kill the chicken, the mundane red rope he uses to tie it suddenly pulses with terrifying spirit, locking the beast's immense power. Now, with a legendary creature as his captive and his own strength growing exponentially, Fang Dou must navigate a treacherous world of hidden sects and ancient powers, all while his daily rice harvest prepares him for an immortal fate he never anticipated. Can a simple rice bucket truly lead him to transcend mortality?
