A Taoist immortal Liu Hai travels around to subjugation demons and alms the world. One day, he defeated a golden toad demon that harms people. The golden toad injured and broke a leg, so only three-legged later. The golden toad bit in treasures and followed Liu Hai to spread money to seek atonement.
