Chapter 975: Immortal, You've Come at Just the Right Time

```

After the morning court was over, Lu Bei returned straight to the imperial study. Taking advantage of the early hours, he promptly fell asleep to make up for lost rest.

Upon waking, he casually ordered thirty-six imperial dishes and continued his reading after gorging himself.

While the palace had an extensive collection of books, including Daoist texts, not a single one offered the secret to eternal life and ascension to immortality.

The Yin Dynasty had an Office of Astronomical Observation responsible for astrology, calendrical calculations, and meteorology, as well as for educating students. Du Yuanxian, the Grand Master of this office and a loyal minister who had served three dynasties, had always been devoted and faithful to the Yin Dynasty, offering his services selflessly.

Without a doubt, such a loyal old minister would undoubtedly meet a bad end.
