Just don't take Shi Huangdi's approach. :D Those mercury pills will give you the opposite of immortality.
Can't you be rewarded with immortality (by gods/goddesses) for helping other people?
I guess I have to do it the old fashion way. :lol:
Agreed! It's safer and sure.
But no need to find any mountain cave. It's already in our yellow pillow?

Rhyme of LONGEVITY:
Once upon a time, a wayfarer came across ten old men; Over a hundred years of age, All of them were vigorous all the more; With earnesty and sincerity, he hastened forward for the key to their venerable age.
The first, twisting his beard, said:
I neither drink nor smoke.
The second, smiling, replied:
I take a hike after meats.
The third, nodding, answered:
I have a vegetarian diet.
The fourth, a stick in hand, said:
I have all along walked instead of riding.
The fifth, straightening his sleeves, said:
I myself have always taken part in physical labor.
The sixth, carrying a posture of ‘yin-yang’ regulation, said:
I practice shadow boxing every day.
The seventh, rubbing his big nose, said:
I always leave windows open to let in fresh air.
The eighth, stroking his short beard, said:
I retire early and rise early.
The ninth, caressing his red cheeks, said:
I resort to sun bath to cause the skin sun burns.
The tenth, raising his eyebrows, said:
I always keep myself from worries.
