"External alchemy first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. In the second year of Yuanguang in the Western Han Dynasty (133 BC), the alchemist Li Shaojun asked Emperor Wu to "offer sacrifices to the kitchen god" and "summon spiritual beings", and to transform cinnabar into gold "to make eating utensils". Emperor Wu followed his advice, "personally offered sacrifices to the kitchen god", and "engaged in transforming cinnabar and other medicinal ingredients into gold", indicating the emergence of external alchemy."
