Features: Zhang Liang's eighth-generation descendant, Zhang Daoling, received the true transmission from Laozi. The emperor offered him the position of imperial tutor three times, but he declined. He immersed himself in the three great mystical arts: the Dao of Heaven's Secrets, the Dao of Humanity, and the Dao of Earth's Veins. Following the verse left by Zhang Liang, "Distinguish Liu, Sun, and Cao in the eye," he harbored a grand aspiration to save the world, seeking the person destined for the great changes in the world over 80 years. Cao Cao's alchemical furnace dragon vein, Liu Bei's white rabbit dragon vein, and Sun Quan's green dragon vein each connected to their respective destinies and personalities. Zhang Daoling saw Zhuge Liang's eyes like bright stars and his footsteps aligned with the Seven Stars, recognizing him as a rare and extraordinary figure. He gifted him three silk pouches and took him as his direct disciple.
