Chinese Traditional Story: Unkindness Cost Him Missing His Chance to Become Immortal

During the Spring and Autumn Period, a young man named Jiang Sheng lived in Wu County. When he was twenty years old, he left home and moved to the secluded foothills of Si Ming Mountain. He wished to master the skill of making immortal pills. Although he cultivated for ten years, he did not make any progress. Later, he moved to Jin Men. One day, he met a beggar whose skin was very rough and dark. His clothes were so threadbare that he was almost naked. The beggar was so sick that he shivered and he could not talk. Jiang Sheng felt pity for him so he took off his robe and wrapped it around the beggar’s body.
