Tieguai Li is already an immortal, so why not heal his leg?

The name of the Eight Immortals has been spread since ancient times. However, there have always been different opinions and the gods they refer to are also different. It is known that the Eight Immortals were clearly designated by Wu Yuantai in "Journey to the East" in the Ming Dynasty. Their identities are Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guojiu.

In traditional folklore, the story of the Eight Immortals has been widely circulated and deeply popular. At that time, many people who were suffering hoped to meet any one of the Eight Immortals to help them get out of trouble. The common people at that time believed that good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded, and those who work hard for good will receive help from the gods.
