Yu Lin, an heir to Qingyun Mountain, possesses extraordinary medical skills and martial arts. Following his master's orders, he descends the mountain with a jade pendant engraved with "Saving Lives," taking on three missions: find his missing senior apprentice brother, Zhao Feng; save three thousand people destined to cross his path; and protect the surviving fragments of an ancient medical canon. Upon arriving in Jiangcheng, he uses acupuncture to save a heart attack patient, silencing skeptics of Western medicine. He also takes over a clinic on the verge of closing and renames it the Hall of Salvation.
When the clinic's opening draws few customers, Yu Lin offers free consultations to build a reputation. He goes on to cure difficult cases, including an office worker with chronic insomnia, a child with infantile malnutrition, and a patient with a decade-long stomach condition. Soon, the Hall of Salvation is renowned. As he practices medicine, he also investigates his senior apprentice brother's whereabouts, learning that Zhao Feng once worked at Jiangcheng First People's Hospital but mysteriously resigned after encountering an ancient book. Along the way, Yu Lin debates Western doctors, defending the value of traditional Chinese medicine with tangible results.
A mysterious faction suddenly appears, using his senior apprentice brother's whereabouts as leverage to force Yu Lin to treat critically ill patients. The secrets of the medical canon fragments also gradually come to light. As Yu Lin balances healing the sick with unraveling the mysteries, his exceptional medical skills and keen intelligence allow him to safeguard the legacy of traditional Chinese medicine while closing in, step by step, on the complicated truth behind his senior apprentice brother's disappearance and the fragments of the medical canon.
