That person's name is Xu Fu.
He is from the Qi region.
The emperor valued him highly because he was born at sea and skilled in sailing.
Every time he went out to sea, he would often be gone for years before returning.
But each time he returned, he received even more favor and trust.
Ironically, Xu Fu first came to Xianyang and had to kneel in front of my door for three days before he was finally introduced to the emperor.
Later on, he refused to even look at me.
I had no intention of competing for favor, even though I knew he was a complete fraud who knew nothing about cultivating qi.
But the last time he returned from his voyage, things were different.
After meeting with the emperor, he had a terrified expression on his face. And when he saw me, instead of being arrogant, he showed fear and timidity.
I knew he had embarked on the path of cultivation.
He had seen the Black Dragon by the emperor's side.
He had also realized that both the emperor and I were plagued by evil spirits.
To please the emperor, he even revealed the cannibalistic demonic art to him.
And in order to escape, Xu Fu concocted a huge lie.
He claimed to have found a fairy mountain overseas and asked the emperor to send more ships and manpower to allow him to search for elixirs on the mountain.
The emperor was overjoyed and immediately rewarded him with double the resources.
Now, he has been at sea for over a year.
But I know that he will never dare to come back again, no matter what.
