A type of Taoist immortal lineage, which is an immortal without supernatural powers. According to "Tian Yinzi" records, he is an earthly immortal on earth. "The Book of Immortals" says: When a sergeant travels to famous mountains, he calls them immortals. Earth Immortals are middle-level immortals in the lineage of Taoist immortals. According to the "Secret Library of Immortal Art", earthly immortals have the talents of immortals and are not classified as immortals. Achieve immortality and become a leisurely immortal on land, which is the middle level among immortals. The "Secret Essentials Sutra" believes: "If you perform three hundred good deeds, you can become an earthly immortal and live in the caves of the Five Mountains." From the perspective of cultivation, earthly immortals are achieved during cultivation. The Tao of Alchemy refers to the completion of the embryonic stage of refining Qi and transforming into God. At this time, immortality can be achieved on the basis of longevity, but there is no magical transformation at all, so one can only walk on the ground. At this time, there is still breathing and eating, and the form and quality have not been completely transformed into light and clear. But after cultivating to this point, my face is radiant, my steps are brisk, and my life span is endless

(1) Taoism and Taoism
Most modern Chinese scholars believe that Taoism and Taoism are two separate entities. Concepts that are interconnected and distinct. It is customary to sometimes call Taoism Taoism and Huang Lao. Strictly speaking, the two are not exactly the same thing. The word "Taoism" first appeared in "On the Essentials of Six Schools" written by Sima Tan of the Western Han Dynasty. It refers to the school represented by Lao-Zhuang's thought among hundreds of pre-Qin scholars, or to the Huang-Lao school that was popular during the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties. They all regard "Tao" as the highest category in their thinking and theory, advocate respecting Tao and virtue, imitate nature, govern the country and cultivate one's moral character according to the law of purity and inaction, deal with ghosts and gods, and deal with the relationship between man and nature, so they are called Taoists. As for "Taoism", it is a religious entity. As the name suggests, "Taoism" means the teaching or preaching of "Tao", or it is a religion that believes in "Tao" and "becomes an immortal and attains Tao" through the cultivation of spiritual body. As a religious entity, Taoism not only has its unique classic teachings, belief in gods and ritual activities, but also its religious inheritance, religious group organization, discipline system and religious activity venues. Such a religious community is obviously different from the early Taoist school, but Taoism is the upper reaches of "Taoism". The core beliefs of Taoism and Taoism are "Tao", and we must not divide them rashly.
