Zhang Jiao and his brothers were born in poverty and sold medicine to help others. Zhang Jiao met a mysterious old man while cutting down the timber to the mountain.

He gave the guests the Taiping. The old man later described himself as an immortal from the southern land. He said that if Zhang Jiao mastered the book, he had the right to indulge his own desires. Zhang Jiao has indeed mastered the power of these elements and has given the power to provide treatment water to the poor.
