在七世纪的作品《三洞珠囊》中，讲述了老子和尹喜之间的关系。老子到达了西城门时假装自己是农民，但他还是被守卫尹喜认了出来，尹喜请求师从老子。老子对于被认出感到不满，要求尹喜说明其拜师的原因。尹喜解释道，自己有着追寻道的强烈愿望，而且他长期研究占星学，且正是因此令他认出了老子。于是老子将尹喜收为弟子。这被认为是道教大师和弟子之间互动的典范，反映了一个求道者在被接受之前必须经历的考验。一个追随者应该证明自己的决心和才能，清楚的表达自己的愿望，表明自己在实现道的道路上已经取得了进步。

The Pearly Bag of the Three Caverns continues the parallel of an adherent's quest. Yinxi received his ordination when Laozi transmitted the Tao Te Ching, along with other texts and precepts, just as Taoist adherents receive a number of methods, teachings and scriptures at ordination. This is only an initial ordination and Yinxi still needed an additional period to perfect his virtue, thus Laozi gave him three years to perfect his Tao. Yinxi gave himself over to a full-time devotional life. After the appointed time, Yinxi again demonstrates determination and perfect trust, sending out a black sheep to market as the agreed sign. He eventually meets again with Laozi, who announces that Yinxi's immortal name is listed in the heavens and calls down a heavenly procession to clothe Yinxi in the garb of immortals. The story continues that Laozi bestowed a number of titles upon Yinxi and took him on a journey throughout the universe, even into the nine heavens. After this fantastic journey, the two sages set out to western lands of the barbarians. The training period, reuniting and travels represent the attainment of the highest religious rank in medieval Taoism called "Preceptor of the Three Caverns". In this legend, Laozi is the perfect Taoist master and Yinxi is the ideal Taoist student. Laozi is presented as the Tao personified, giving his teaching to humanity for their salvation. Yinxi follows the formal sequence of preparation, testing, training and attainment.

《三洞珠囊》的故事延续了一个追随者想要的追求。正如很多其他的教义一样，老子在传授《道德经》时，尹喜接受了很多戒律。而这些戒律只是一个初步任务，尹喜还需要很多的修行来完善他的道，所以老子给了他三年时间来完善他的“道”。尹喜全身心的投入到道的学习当中，在三年时间过后，尹喜再次表现出决心和完全的信任，所有人都认为他是一匹道家思想的黑马。最终，他再次与老子见面，老子宣布他以阴天仙人的名字列入天界，并号召进行天界大游行，为尹喜穿上仙人的外衣。在这个故事中，老子还赋予尹喜许多头衔，并带他踏上了探索整个宇宙的修行之旅，甚至进入了九个天堂。经过这段奇妙的旅程，两位圣人最终进入了野蛮人的西部并传授道。在训练时期，“相聚”和“修行”代表着中世纪道教中最高的宗教等级，即“三洞的感受者”。在这个传说中，老子是完美的道家大师，尹喜是理想的道家学生。老子呈现为道的世俗化身，向人们传授道，让人解脱，获得救赎。尹喜则遵循了准备、测试、培训和得道的完备过程。

The story of Laozi has taken on strong religious overtones since the [[Han dynasty]]. As [[Taoism]] took root, Laozi was worshipped as a god. Belief in the revelation of the ''Tao'' from the divine Laozi resulted in the formation of the [[Way of the Celestial Masters]], the first organized religious Taoist sect. In later mature Taoist tradition, Laozi came to be seen as a personification of the ''Tao''. He is said to have undergone numerous "transformations" and taken on various guises in various incarnations throughout history to initiate the faithful in the Way. Religious Taoism often holds that the "Old Master" did not disappear after writing the ''Tao Te Ching'' but rather spent his life traveling and revealing the ''Tao''.<ref name="Kohn 3-4"/>
