永嘉之亂後，南渡祭酒融合了流傳江甫的固有道經和傳說，重新寫造天師道的經傳，當中包括根據〈神仙傳〉和葛洪所藏丹經編造的〈馬君傳}，以及根據〈靈寶經〉擴寫的《靈寶五符〉。此二經書經由著名祭酒魏華存的兒子授予江南學邁士人，對上清經出世有重大影響。唐宋之際，<馬君傳〉內的煉丹經方被割裂獨立成篇，附以葛洪所撰記述兩篇，拼湊成今本〈太清金液神丹經〉。

After the barbarian invasions in the Western Jin dynasty， libationers who had migrated to southern China compiled the new scriptures of the Way of the Celestial Master， incorporating the writings and legends that circulated in the south at the time. This new collection included two major writings: Majun zhuan (Biography of Lord Ma)， based on Shenxian zhuan (Biographies of Immortals) and Ge Hung's collection of writings on alchemy， and Lingbao wufu (The Five Talismans of Lingbao)， based on Lingbaojing (Scripture of Lingbao). These two writings were given to Taoist followers in the south by the son of Wei Huacun， a famous libationers of the time， and then had a strong influence on the Shangqing Revelation. During the Tang-Song transition， the section on alchemy in Majun zhuan was put together with two nar ratives written by Ge Hung into Taiqing jinye shendanjing (Scripture of the Divine Elixir of the Golden Liquor of the Great Purity).
