Dan of immortality

More then 2000 years ago, the Huang emperor has united the middle kingdom under his thumb. He has everything a man can ever dream of, unlimited power, wealth and status...All except for one thing: Immortality. He demanded all the best alchemist in his kingdom to create the Dan of immortality and executed all who failed to do so. Though unparalleled genius talent, Jiang-Ze the legendary alchemist was the only one who succeeded. He created the recipe for the Dan of immortality and divided them into 9 scrolls. Not wanting the emperor to get a hold of the recipe, he gave the 9 scrolls to the 9 most prominent families of the middle kingdom. Civil war soon engulfed the kingdom, as great houses battled each other for the 9 scrolls. After the warring states has collapsed and new empires has risen. The 9 scrolls became little more then myths...Until now. As one of the descendants of the 9 great houses, and having no Chi skills what so ever, I am about as dead as a roasted goose hanging on a meat rack...
