The Shuyi ji says: 'Formerly, a man set out for Mount Lu to gather pine. He heard a human voice saying, "This may not yet be taken." Following the voice, the man climbed up and saw a strange flower of very lovely form, its fragrance extraordinary. Knowing it to be divine and anomalous, he plucked and ingested it, and attained a lifespan of three hundred years.'
