In 1980, Lin Xiangshan, in order to find meat for his sick mother, injured his left leg catching a wild rabbit, but his uncle and cousin snatched the rabbit meat and embezzled eighteen yuan of his mother's medicine money to buy a gun. Helpless, he braved the rain into the mountain, propped up the Great Sage statue in a ruined temple, and obtained the seventy-two transformations. The mortal world lacking spiritual energy, he needs to hunt and kill wild beasts to acquire beast souls to unlock transformations. The rabbit soul makes him leap like flying, and the chicken soul makes him light-bodied to climb cliffs and gather ginseng. The uncle and nephew followed to snatch medicine only to reap what they sow. Lin Xiangshan hunted wild boars to gain brute strength, gathered ginseng to support his family, protected his family members, and built a new house. As the beast forms increased, the Golden-Hooped Rod and the Divine Dragon body were unlocked one after another, the poor boy turned the tables, and greedy relatives suffered setbacks one after another.
