Qin Shi Huang was obsessed with immortality and his death may have been hastened by the concoctions his alchemists made him that had lots of mercury in them (in fact a lot of Chinese emperors got offed this way) and you know sometimes i think the taoists knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote that a concoction of arsenic, mercury, and gold would make the drinker immortal
