The Yitui 易退
Paul PengShare
Yitui, styled Nanyin, was a native of Yuanzhou (present-day Yichun County, Jiangxi) during the Jin Dynasty.
He built a thatched cottage on Mount Jiuyi in Pingxiang, practicing qi refinement and worshipping the true Tao, without ceasing even throughout the night.
After more than twenty years of cultivation, he successfully refined the elixir and attained the Tao.

He was often a Taoist friend outside the mundane world with Yang Fadao and Chen Guizhen from Yichun.
During the Zhenghe period of the Song Dynasty (1111-1117), he was posthumously conferred the title of "True Person". (From Records of Yuanzhou Prefecture)
