Perhaps the most well known religious figure of the early Mongol Empire was the Taoist master, Qiu Chuji, known also as Master Changchun. In 1219, Qiu Chuji was summoned to make the long trek to meet Chinggis Khan, and bring to him the elixir for eternal life. Since Chinggis has been dead for 800 years, obviously they were not successful in this endeavor, but we do see here a rather different side of Chinggis than we have before.
