According to Records of the Historian, after Qin Shihuang unified China in 22 1 BC, he sent three missions to the East to look for the elixir of life.
In 2 19 BC, Qin Shihuang first traveled to Shandong. During his stay in Huangxian County, Qin Shihuang wrote to Xu Fu. Chui fook was ordered to accompany Qin Shihuang to Laishan to offer sacrifices to luna. After Qin Shihuang and his party left Huangxian County, they arrived at Chengshantou, the easternmost part of Shandong Peninsula, via Mu Ping County. On the way back, Qin Shihuang and others boarded Zhifu Island, then went south to Langya County and lived there for three months.
When Qin Shihuang visited Langya, Xu Fu and others wrote that there are three sacred mountains in the Bohai Sea, named Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou. There are many immortals living in the mountains, and there is a magical medicine that can make people live forever. He is willing to accept it and dedicate it to the late emperor. Qin Shihuang readily approved Xu Fu's request, and ordered him to go to the sea for fairy medicine.
It is said that Xu Fu's first attempt to seek immortality in the sea failed because of too much wind and waves. He came back and said to Qin Shihuang, "I met Poseidon in the sea, and Poseidon told me,' You can use beautiful virgins and various craftsmen's utensils as gifts to get the elixir of life. ""Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang ordered Xu Fupa to send virgins and craftsmen's instruments to ask for fairy medicine.

In 2 18 BC, Qin Shihuang visited Shandong for the second time. Although Qin Shihuang was ambushed by an assassin sent by North Korean aristocrat Sean on the way, he went to Zhifu via Huangxian County as planned, and then lived in Langya Palace. This time, because Xu Fu went to the sea to seek immortality, Qin Shihuang didn't get the elixir, so he had to return to Xianyang first.
In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang visited Shandong for the third time. Just then, Chuifu heard the news that Qin Shihuang was coming to Langya and hurried from his hometown to see Qin Shihuang. Xu Fuyin didn't get the elixir, so in order to escape punishment, he had to tell Qin Shihuang that the elixir could have been obtained in Penglai Fairy Mountain, but the water god sent a big dumpling fish guard to get the medicine nearby, so he asked Qin Shihuang to send some archers with him. Anxious for success, Qin Shihuang immediately approved Cui Fu's request.
Qin Shihuang and his party only saw a big fish when they arrived near Zhifu by boat. After Qin Shihuang shot the big fish, he sailed west to Huangheying Port on the north bank of Huangxian County. After a short stay here, Qin Shihuang and others continued to sail west and landed on the west bank of Laizhou Bay. However, Qin Shihuang died of illness on the dune platform on his way back to Xianyang. He did not take the elixir and died.

The longevity stone in Qinhuangdao is a statue of true elixir carved according to the words and color information recorded in the history books when Qin Shihuang came to Qinhuangdao to seek elixir. The photos of Changshou Stone in Qinhuangdao and Ganoderma lucidum in the Yellow River are almost identical in appearance, shape and color.
Through careful comparison, it is once again confirmed that the Yellow River Ganoderma lucidum is the elixir that Qin Shihuang sought when he went to the Western Seas. The biological characteristics of the Yellow River Ganoderma lucidum are completely consistent with the descriptions in Bao Pu Zi written by Ge Hong in Jin Dynasty and Compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt that the Yellow River Ganoderma lucidum is the elixir of life sought by Qin Shihuang.
