They are not exactly "immortal" as in the western understanding of "eternal" or "not aged" forever instead, they would simply live an incredibly long life and eventually die of old age at some point (possibly inconceivably far in the future). It should be noted that if the elixir of Jofuku is given by Anqi Sheng, the "immortal" Taoist. Its main use is to return the subject to be used by someone "immortal". The name of this elixir is Furofuki, and it still grows on Mount Kinryu today. Xu Fu reached the top of Mount Kinryu, where he met a hermit and obtained the elixir of immortal life.
As such, the place where he landed the cup is known as "Bubai", which literally means "floating cup". The Documents of the Great Historian say that he came to a place with "plains and wide swamps" and proclaimed himself king to never to return.Īccording to the tradition of Saga City, Saga Prefecture, Xu Fu came to the Ariake Sea, where he decided to float a cup on the water and go ashore where he made landfall. Xu then set sail again, but never returned from this trip. Qin Shi Huang agreed, and sent archers to kill the giant fish. C., when asked by Qin Shi Huang, Xu Fu claimed that there was a giant sea creature blocking his way, and asked the archers to kill the creature.
Xu Fu sailed for several years without finding the mountain. C., Xu Fu was sent with three thousand virgin boys and girls to retrieve the elixir of life from the immortals, including Anqi Sheng, who supposedly lived on Penglai Mountain in the East Sea. He entrusted Xu Fu with the task of finding the secret of immortality. The ruler of Qin, Qin Shi Huang feared death and searched for a way to live forever.
