The most well-known of the Eight Immortals – and sometimes portrayed as their leader - is Lu Dongbin (also spelled Lu Tung-
Pin), who is considered, in various contexts, as the patron of jugglers, magicians, barbers and neidan: a true Renaissance man!
What we know of his historical life was that he was a Tang dynasty scholar and poet.
Lu Dongbin’s emblem is the magic two-edged sword, which dispels evil spirits, and gives him the power of invisibility.

When he wakes from this dream - in which he had lived an entire life, rising to fame then descending into poverty and despair - he
discovers that his millet is not yet cooked. The insights born of this experience lead Lu Dongbin to become a disciple of Zhongli
Quan, and enter the path of the Tao.
As he sleeps, Lu Dongbin dreams that he did indeed pass his civil service exam, rose to fame, and (in certain versions of the story)
married a beautiful woman, with whom he had wonderful children. But then, in the dream (in certain versions of the story), he is
accused of crimes, loses his position and all his wealth, is betrayed by his wife, and his children die.
