Jiangshi: I'm Gu Zhenren, Refining Gold-Eating Insects from the Start

Chen Fan wakes up to find that he has transmigrated to a zombie-infested world. He becomes the apprentice of a wizard, only to discover that someone has poisoned him with a parasitic curse and is raising him to become a human pill.

To cure the curse, Chen Fan heads to the Ten Thousand Mountains, but the wizard's disciples hunt him down. Fortunately, the Gu God System awakens just then.

From the start, he obtains a spirit insect, the Gold-Eating Beetle, which commands the power of the Five Elements.

And that's not all.

There's also the Golden-Backed Demon Mantis, Ironfire Ants, Six-Winged Frost Centipedes, Sky Crystal Ants, Purple Lightning Mayflies... Chen Fan devours countless gu insects, slays his enemies, returns to Qingliang Town, and kills his own master.

Uncle Jiu: I've seen geniuses, but never one this gifted.

Shi Jian: No one can match Chen Fan in the art of gu.

Who stands at the summit on the path to immortality? One glimpse of the Gu God's path, and all other paths fade away!
