Thanks to an extraordinary performance, Kai You defeated Liu Maoxing at the National Cooking Tournament.
From then on, Kai You stood at the pinnacle of Chinese cuisine.
To eliminate Liu Maoxing as a threat once and for all, he plotted to kill Liu Maoxing and his companions.
Meanwhile, after learning that Kai You had risen to the top of the Chinese culinary world, the descendant of Master Xiu Li feared that Kai You would use the Eight Great Cooking Utensils to wreak havoc. He hurried to find Commander Li and presented the ninth divine artifact, the Tianyuan Lock, which his family had guarded and passed down for generations.
With the Tianyuan Lock in hand, Commander Li finally saw a chance to defeat the Dark Cooking Society.
He called in every favor he could to try to rescue Liu Maoxing and the others from the prison.
But by then, Kai You had already killed Liu Maoxing and his companions. The only survivor, Shirou, had been blinded in both eyes.
Knowing he could not escape death, Commander Li placed all his hopes in Shirou. With his dying breath, he entrusted the Tianyuan Lock to him, then did everything he could to send Shirou deep into Yunnan, far from the capital.
From then on, the blind Shirou took on the mission of defeating the Dark Cooking Society.
After years of enduring hardship in silence, Shirou finally succeeded in activating the Tianyuan Lock. But its power was an ability that grew stronger over time. To use it to bring down the Dark Cooking Society, Shirou would have to keep training and gathering strength.
As the Dark Cooking Society grew ever more powerful, it came close to realizing its ambition of controlling the people through food.
Can Shirou use the power of the Tianyuan Lock to stop it all from happening?
