Ứng dụng: Đọc huyền thoại cầu tiên, tham chiếu nghi tiếp thần
A Six Dynasties hagiographic romance (often linked to the Shangqing milieu) depicting Emperor Wu of Han's nocturnal visitations by Xiwangmu and Shangyuan Furen, who bestow celestial texts, peach of immortality symbolism, and graded immortal teachings. It elaborates the Mu Tianzi template into a full revelation scene: ranking of immortals, dietetics, sexual continence warnings, and the emperor's failure to fully cultivate. Widely cited in Daoist bibliographies as a classic of 'inner biography' (內傳) genre.
⚡ Ứng dụng: Illustrates graded transmission and the contingency of destiny on practice—used in cultivation ethics and discussions of imperial vs. true immortal fate.

It proves that imperial power, offerings, and even face-to-face divine descent cannot confer immortality without 仙才, secrecy, and disciplined receptivity. The emperor's failure is the proof that technique is graded and character-gated.
1) Before advanced BaZi or neidan methods, audit 仙才 proxies: patience, secrecy, non-instrumental motive. 2) Keep oral keys out of public performance. 3) Treat 'received but not kept' as a chart pattern (strong Wealth, weak Seal). 4) Practice graded unlocks: foundational purity before 六甲-level complexity. 5) Use the emperor as negative case study against consumerist spirituality.
Unlike 穆天子傳's largely successful royal embassy, this text dramatizes pedagogical failure. Unlike 元始上真眾仙記's register of already-immortals, it focuses on the gate conditions of entry. It is more Shangqing-talismanic than Mu's archaic banquet diplomacy.
