In that mysterious and ancient legend, the story of Tieguai Li unfolds slowly like a splendid and colorful scroll. Tieguai Li, originally named Li Xuan, was originally a handsome and refined scholar. He was extremely intelligent since childhood and was full of curiosity and the spirit of exploration towards everything in the world. After reaching adulthood, Li Xuan deeply felt the brevity of life and the numerous sufferings in the world. Therefore, he made a grand vow to seek the way of immortality and save all living beings.

Li Xuan embarked on the arduous journey of seeking immortality and asking for the way. He visited famous mountains and ancient temples, paid visits to various experts, humbly sought teachings, and practiced hard. After many years of efforts, his cultivation became increasingly profound and finally 迎来了 a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for transformation.

One day, Li Xuan received the summons of the Supreme Lord Laozi, asking his soul to leave his body and go to the immortal mountain to attend an important dharma assembly. Li Xuan knew that this was a rare opportunity. Before leaving, he repeatedly admonished his young disciple that if his soul did not return after seven days, he could cremate his physical body.

However, the splendor and profundity of the dharma assembly on the immortal mountain exceeded Li Xuan's imagination. He was immersed in it and forgot the passage of time. When he finally remembered to return to the human world, a full seven days had passed.

Li Xuan rushed back to his place of cultivation in a panic, only to find that his physical body had been cremated by his young disciple as instructed. His soul wandered in the world with nowhere to rely on. Just when he was in despair, he accidentally discovered a beggar's corpse that had just died by the roadside. Li Xuan had no choice but to possess it.

This corpse was unkempt, lame in one leg, and there was a worn-out iron crutch beside it. Looking at his own ugly appearance, Li Xuan once had pain and loss in his heart. But he soon understood that the external appearance was just passing clouds. What really mattered was the inner cultivation and compassion for all sentient beings.

From then on, there was an immortal with an iron crutch in the world - Tieguai Li. With his profound magic skills and a compassionate heart, he walked among the people.

Once, a remote village suffered from a severe drought. The crops failed to yield and the villagers lived in hardship. When Tieguai Li learned of this, he immediately rushed to the village. He 施展 magic and drew water from a distant river to moisten the parched land. The villagers were extremely grateful and knelt down to express their thanks.

Another time, a rich merchant was cruel and unjust, oppressed the people, and monopolized the market. Tieguai Li transformed into an ordinary merchant and had a wise contest with the rich merchant. In the end, the rich merchant not only suffered heavy losses but also received the due punishment. From then on, he reformed and began to treat the people kindly.

The story of Tieguai Li spread all over the country. People's admiration for him lies not only in his magical spells but also in his unchanging heart of helping the world and saving people.
