In 1985, Li Lishan is reborn on the day his wife and daughter died. He awakens the Ten-Thousand-Beast Spirit Seal and gains the ability to communicate with animals. He saves the old hound Dahuang, and uses its treasure-hunting sense to dig poria and ganoderma to pay off debts. He also gains mountain perception from blue sheep, water sensing from golden-scaled carp, and brute strength from a giant black bear. He develops barren hills, runs fish ponds and grows medicinal herbs, leading Kaoshan Village to shared prosperity and protecting harmony between humans and nature.
