King of Gu

The protagonist's family is cursed: none of its men live past the age of thirty-three. To break the curse of the "Trial at Thirty-Three," I have no choice but to embark on the arduous search for gu… Bai Yi is the first to combine Daoist arts with gu techniques, using Daoist arts to command gu, drive away evil, and ward off misfortune, while using gu to counter gu. He also draws on gu techniques to strengthen himself and bring his Daoist arts to their peak for a short time. To break the curse of the "Trial at Thirty-Three," the protagonist must find the legendary strongest gu: the Dragon Gu. (Legend has it that when nine dragons gather, they bite and devour one another until only one remains. A hundred years later, that dragon will face a heaven-defying calamity and ultimately transform into a scale-covered pill known as the "Dragon Gu.") Only by swallowing the Dragon Gu can he break the curse. Along the way, the protagonist encounters all kinds of dangers and conflicts between sects. Using his unique dual cultivation of Daoist arts and gu techniques, he escapes danger time and again. After countless hardships, he finally obtains the legendary Dragon Gu.
