In historical records, Xu Fu is described as a fraud, who, with the priceless treasures given by Emperor Qin and many virgin boys and girls, established Japan and lived a shameless imperial life.
But as Ye Xingchen implies—did Xu Fu really know the method of immortality?
"The method of immortality Xu Fu knew... is it the Longevity Incense?" Shen Yue speculated again.
Ye Xingchen affirmed, "Indeed."
Shen Yue's eyelids twitched, "So, Xu Fu was actually a sage."
By Zhao Ji's era, the claims of immortality were mere tricks and the emperor's new clothes, but during the Qin and Han times, it seemed immortality was within reach.
Ye Xingchen was silent for a while, "Although later generations viewed Xu Fu as a conman, he was actually someone who believed in historical truths. When the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yan, and Chi You fought an earth-shattering battle, much truth was erased by Emperor Yu, but the female cultivator ancestor of Ying Zheng knew more of the truth."
