Li Babai
Li Babai (李八百, "Li Eight-Hundred") was the sobriquet of a Daoist elixir-master and xian ("transcendent; 'immortal'") who supposedly lived more than 800 years. The founder of the Way of the Li Family school of religious Daoism, Li A (李阿, fl. 229–259 CE) or Babaisui gong (八百歲公, "Sir Eight-Hundred-Years-Old") is associated with Li Babai. Two unscrupulous Daoist adepts surnamed Li exploited the pseudonym Li Babai. Li Kuan (李寬, fl. early 4th century) was a charlatan faith healer and who died from the plague, and Li Tuo (李脫) was a sorcerer who was executed in 324 for plotting a revolt against the Jin dynasty.
