According to records, Master Lv was the reincarnation of an Ancient Deity known as Huang Tan Shi (古聖皇覃氏化身).

At 46 years old, he managed to meet up with his master, Master Zhong Li Quan (鐘離權), from then, he followed Master Zhong Li Quan to Mountian Zhong Nan (終南山) to do his self-cultivation.

64 years old, he got his enlightenment, from then, he got an official title of Premier of Yu Qing aka Yu Qing Shang Xiang (玉清上相) or Fu You Di Jun (孚佑帝君).

And according to Chinese History, due to the chaotic Religions Society in late Tang Dynasty, Master Lv had to start (founded) a new Religion or Teaching of combining of the Three Chinese Religions together, and this Teaching was later known as San Jiao 三教 - 儒釋道合一 (The Three Religions).

He is also one of the popular character in The Eight Immortals aka Ba Xian (八仙).
