You Told Me to Get Back to That Poor Mountain Village, and Now I'm the Miaojiang Gu King?

Three days after his grandmother died, the father who had been missing for seventeen years stormed back to the Miao village with his stepmother and younger brother to seize the inheritance. Shen Qingshan didn’t argue. He simply slammed a will down in front of everyone: he was cutting ties with them. Everyone thought the orphan from this poor mountain village was finished. Then, in a hidden compartment in his grandmother’s water jar, he found a copy of The Phoenix-Tail Five Poisons Manual and a jar containing a wax-sealed living gu. Centipedes, venomous snakes, scorpions, geckos, toads: the five poisonous gu larvae writhed wildly in his palm, all vying to get close! 【Five Poisons affinity detected… Phoenix-Tail bloodline confirmed…】 【Raising gu → commanding gu → refining gu → merging gu → all poisons return to the source. Inheritance path unlocked.】 With a sprig of mint between his teeth, he can drive off a bamboo viper. He can identify medicinal herbs with perfect accuracy, and move through the poisonous mists of the deep mountains as easily as walking on level ground. Shen Dajiang knelt at the entrance to the village, begging to be acknowledged: “Son, I was wrong…” Shen Qingshan didn’t even look back. “My surname isn’t Shen.” “It’s written clearly on my household registration: Long Qingshan.” “Father’s name? Blank.” From that day on, the orphan from the poor mountain village whom everyone had mocked became the sole inheritor of the orthodox Five Poisons tradition of Miaojiang. And this was only the beginning.
