The Legend of the Elixir of Life (Chinese alchemy)

Beneath the ancient, star-studded skies of imperial China, we trace the enduring legend of the quest for the Elixir of Life—a saga woven through the desires of emperors and the dreams of peasants. Embark on this timeless journey with Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the legendary alchemist Xu Fu, as they navigate mystical realms and confront the elusive promise of immortality. As their stories unfold amidst scholars and charlatans, we glide through haunting narratives of fantastical lands and the all-too-human fear of death. Let the quiet splendor of this age-old quest soothe you into a night of profound, reflective slumber.This episode is hosted by Brian Miller.
