Shen Mo, a modern Chinese medicine student, accidentally traveled through the Hongwu period of the early Ming Dynasty and became a medical officer in the southern army. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's "mobilization from the north to the south" was causing turmoil in the southwest, and strange "spiritual erosion" (petrification and wood transformation) were raging in the military camp. Shen Mo possesses modern medical skills and the awakened Miao medical secret technique of "Gu needle probing for pulse", and discovers that the plague is actually "Yin Gu eating souls".
In order to survive, he became a disciple of Miao Wuluo Grandma, who had a lie-eating poison in his eyes, and learned the ability of "distinguishing qi from a hundred herbs". He used Guizhou ingredients such as Zheer root and sour soup fish to prepare extraordinary medicated meals to fight against evil spirits. The clues point to the mysterious "Hongya Book of Heaven" - actually a time and space sealing device left behind by Emperor Jianwen. Its missing "Bingxu" rune stone was cast into the Yongle Golden Chamber by Zhu Yuanzhang, causing the spiritual energy to leak.
Shen Mo was forced to get involved in multiple games: he formed the "Nine Mountains Alliance" by joining forces with the Miao saint Chi Meng who was afraid of eating the broken ear roots, and the general Lan Yu who was riddled with the evil poisonous blood vine; he fought against the black prime minister Yao Guangxiao who wanted to seal the dragon's vein forever (the Buddhist beads paused time); he dealt with Emperor Jianwen from the future who brought the "Hunyuan Yi" to repair the heavenly book. In the end, he wore a Nuo mask to pray to the gods, took charge of the Kitchen King's "jar of good and evil", and set up a "Thousand Plates of Medicinal Food Banquet" at the top of Anshun City to attract the people's efforts to mend the cracks in the sky. He became the "Kitchen Lord Siming" to quell the spiritual chaos, at the cost of losing his sense of taste and returning to modern times. The unexpected discovery of Ming Dynasty prescriptions in the scenic spot hints that the storm is not over yet.
