| | Guan Ling Yinxi was a Zhou dynasty official. He was skilled in internal studies, often consuming the essence of refined substances, cultivating virtue and practicing cultivation; at that time, no one knew about it. When Laozi traveled westward, Yinxi first perceived his aura and realized that a true person would pass by. He looked for him and intercepted him; indeed, he encountered Laozi. Laozi also recognized his extraordinary nature and wrote a book to give to him. Later, Yinxi traveled with Laozi through the Liusha region, transformed among the Hu people, consumed Ju shengshi (a type of plant or herb), and no one knew where he finally ended up. Yinxi also wrote nine chapters himself, titled "Guanlingzi."
