Flesh-bone Gu

Gu worm in Reverend Insanity

III Healing

Flesh-bone Gu is a rank three healing Gu Fang Yuan recalls from his previous life, where it made Bai Hua a famous healing Gu Master.

Bai Ning Bing knocks open a mouth in the Flesh Sac Secret Chamber and takes a Gu that looks like spotless white dentures with pearl-like luster. Fang Yuan names that find Flesh-bone Gu. Bai Ning Bing mumbles the saying about raising the dead and growing flesh on white bone. ch. 224

Prior life memory

While planning the Bai Gu mountain white bone inheritance, Fang Yuan first recalls this Gu as a famous rank three healing Gu, written as “flesh white bones”: prior-life memory of the unrebirthed timeline, where Bai Hua received it and became a famous healing Gu Master. He places it under the healing use-category when he lists Gu by function. ch. 214

Appearance

A set of dentures: neat upper and lower teeth, spotless white, with a pearl-like luster. ch. 224

Form and rank

Fang Yuan places it at rank three. ch. 224

Effect

It is not an expendable Gu. If a Gu Master’s corpse is incomplete, this Gu can rebuild the flesh first, then rising dead Gu can resurrect the Gu Master when death is within fourteen hours and the body is intact. That pairing has helped major figures, including rank nine immortal and demon venerables. ch. 224

Bai Ning Bing activates it on a cut forearm: an orange glow covers the wound, and skin and flesh grow out almost at once until the injury is gone, at the cost of about twenty percent of her rank three peak stage primeval essence in a single burst. The Gu needs a large instant spend of primeval essence. Fang Yuan’s green copper essence could not fuel a use even if his primeval sea ran dry. ch. 226

Ownership

Bai Ning Bing offers Flesh-bone Gu to Fang Yuan in exchange for Yang Gu. Fang Yuan refuses. She keeps the Gu in hand after that refusal. ch. 224

Bone flesh unity handoff

During the bone flesh unity refinement she gives it to Fang Yuan so he can refine it under Spring Autumn Cicada’s aura. He returns it because he still cannot use it, and she heals both of their cut forearms with it. ch. 226 By the Shang clan city stretch it has been returned to her as hers. ch. 273

Called meat bone Gu

Later haul talk also calls the same inheritance healing Gu meat-bone Gu. ch. 225 The haul list of the Bai Gu inheritance names it meat bone Gu, cultivation at rank one cannot activate it, and it can regrow burned skin and flesh after damaged tissue is cut away, but it cannot heal the shattered ear cartilage left when earth hearing ear grass is destroyed. ch. 228

Healing benchmark

With the strength of two boars, one bear, and a crocodile, self-reliance Gu’s healing is on par with flesh-bone Gu, and further strength gains would push it past that mark. ch. 292 Once he trades a boar’s strength for bull strength, horse strength and half a turtle’s, self-reliance Gu’s effect has surpassed flesh-bone. ch. 299 Later narration states self-reliance Gu’s healing has far surpassed flesh-bone Gu. ch. 342

Path
