Background / History

Gu Fengchen is a reincarnated individual and a member of the Ancient Clan. Early in his new life, he swallowed a Grade 7 Fire Bodhi Pill, awakening the First Layer of the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body. The experience took him into the Star Domain, where he learned of the Three Thousand Burning Flame's potential for longevity and possible immortality. He resolved to conceal this abnormal ability rather than expose himself to exploitation 2.

He cultivated in the Ancient Clan, receiving the Indestructible Golden Body from Gu Xun'er and acquiring the sword Instant and the Forest Strolling Technique from the Scripture Repository. Gu Nanhai allowed him to take Instant without paying points 7.

After leaving for Qingshan Town, he became associated with the Myriad Medicine Pavilion and protected Xiao Yi Xian from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He eventually eliminated Mu She and Yao Chen, taking control of the pavilion 17 30. He used the alias Gu Feng while managing the pavilion and later adopted Chen Fenggu when he needed to act without exposing his identity 38 98.

His exceptional rise drew the attention of the Jia Ma Empire's major powers. The Nalan Clan, Mitel Family, Jia Ma Imperial Family, and Alchemist Guild each attempted to win him over. He accepted an Honorary Vice Presidency in the Alchemist Guild while retaining his independence 82 103 167.

Appearance

Gu Fengchen is repeatedly described as unusually handsome, tall, and refined. By age eleven, he stood about 1.73 meters tall; by age seventeen, he was over 1.8 meters tall 48 311.

• Sharp eyebrows and bright eyes; dark, lustrous hair 39.
• A jade-like face and a heroic, elegant bearing 39.
• Slender but well-proportioned physique strengthened through the Indestructible Golden Body 48.
• Clear features, sparkling eyes, and an aura described as both masculine and feminine after reaching Dou Spirit 90.
• Frequently wears an Ice Silkworm Mask to conceal his identity and alter his appearance 55.
• His Dou Spirit advancement gave him a more distinct, difficult-to-describe aura 90.

Personality

Gu Fengchen is cautious, strategic, and intensely focused on long-term growth. After gaining the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body, he deliberately hid its existence and chose to reveal only a limited portion of his power 2. He generally prepares for danger in advance, prioritizing survival and avoiding battles he does not believe he can win 228 313.

He combines pragmatism with generosity when it serves both emotional and strategic goals. He gave Xiao Yi Xian the Seven-Colored Poison Classic to develop her strength, viewing their advancement as mutually beneficial 27. He also seeks connections that can strengthen the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, such as his relationship with Xue Mei and the Alchemist Guild 38.

In combat, he can be merciful toward enemies he considers undeserving of death, as shown when he spared Mu Li and the Wolf Head mercenaries 17. However, he becomes decisive and ruthless against persistent threats, killing Mu Chen, the Hao Clan leadership, Snake People combatants, and Mo Clan death warriors 176 197 242 391.

His reputation is mixed: some regard Chen Fenggu as chivalrous and talented, while others criticize his impulsiveness and bloodlust 183.
