Chen Xuanji, a 58-year-old reclusive master of Yixing purple clay pottery, hides away as a general laborer at a corporation to pay his mortgage. Jin Daya, a puppet of foreign capital, champions AI-made teapots and schemes to swallow up Daxia's purple clay pottery industry. Leng and her daughter desperately search for Chen Xuanji, who once saved them ten years ago, and ask him to return to the scene. Using discarded mining slag, a 60-jin heirloom tool, and a lost ancient blood-refining technique, Chen Xuanji crafts teapots. At the International Grand Awards, his handmade teapot displays a naturally perfected clay charm, repeatedly overloading and destroying precision testing equipment owned by foreign companies. In a blind test judged by a thousand people, he wins unanimously. Jin Daya is disgraced, and the foreign acquisition plan collapses. After the competition, Chen Xuanji remains at the clay workshop, teaching traditional handmade Yixing pottery and protecting a thousand-year-old intangible cultural heritage.
