I believe the spelling is Lu Tung Pin.
His story and his image is the 4th one down on this page:

Thanks for all the leads.
Brought me here: http://www.fengshuibestbuy.com/SL11222-eightimmortals.html
The 3rd Immortal is Lu Dong-Pin, who uses a sword to overcome evil spirits and slice through bad energies caused by bad "chi". The sword was given to him by a dragon. He also holds the fly whisk which he uses to cure illnesses. He also blesses scholastic luck to the family. His animal is tiger. He learnt Taoism magic from the chief Chung Li Chuan in AD750 and attained immortality at the age of 50. He had successfully rid the world with his sword from various forms of evils for over 400 years and still visits earth till today. Taoist mediums can communicate with him through meditative means and his image at home will ward off any evil spirits. His direction is West and metal element
