Who is He Xian Gu?
Like Lan Cai He, He Xian Gu is a female immortal, and is also the last of the Eight Immortals. In life, she lived at the time of the Tang Dynasty and achieved immortality after eating a divine peach given to her by Lu Don Bin. As an immortal, she flew over mountains to gather divine fruit for her mother. She is portrayed with a lotus flower (a symbol of purity in China) and is worshipped as the patron deity of virgins and unmarried women.
