Beggar Moth is a Gu that stores primeval essence. More holes in its wings mean it can hold higher rank primeval essence, and it feeds on mirror willow leaves.
While Fang Yuan flees during immortal ascension backlash, pursuers note that Gu Masters can preserve primeval essence with Gu such as fish bubble Gu, beggar moth, or grave yam Gu even after an aperture is shattered. ch. 629 Fang Yuan has already bought large numbers of beggar moths for that purpose. ch. 632
Appearance
They look like moths, but their wings have round holes. The holes make the beggar moth look tattered, like a beggar’s clothing. More holes on the wings are better: more holes mean the moth can store higher rank primeval essence. ch. 632
Storage and ranks
These beggar moths are Gu worms used to store primeval essence. In the mortal world supply is limited, but with Hu Immortal blessed land Fang Yuan buys groups in treasure yellow heaven. Copies at rank five and rank four are few; rank three and rank two are numerous. He holds close to a thousand and brings almost all of them into northern plains. ch. 632 After that trip, the highest quantity among his remaining random mortal Gu is still beggar moths, almost a thousand, and they help him through the final moments of the journey by storing primeval essence. ch. 650
Food
Mirror willow leaves are the food of beggar moths. Mirror willows are ordinary plants about the size of ordinary willow trees, with leaves like pieces of mirrors. Fang Yuan had purchased a batch from Immortal Crane Sect during rockmen transactions and planted them in Hu Immortal blessed land. ch. 654 Later, when that small batch of mirror willows dies, the beggar moths that ate those leaves no longer have any use and are sold off. ch. 827
