Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 889 - 375: Help Master Massage Next Time_2

The main bureau of the Jinyi Guard is in Shengjing, but I secretly set up another main base in Chuansha Ridge, so once they start a massive hunt for the Jinyi Guard in Shengjing, anyone who knows about this will definitely head there."

"Chu State..." Lu Jin'an recalled the map of the Eastern Dynasty; this Chu State is in the southeast, which is the fiefdom of King Chu and borders the Shenmiao Dynasty.

Because of its strategic location, it is a contested area between the two great dynasties.

"You've had the ambition to usurp the throne for a long time." Lu Jin'an smiled, "Even if you hadn't gone outside the border, you'd have done it sooner or later."

"Yes." Dongfang Xinglan admitted frankly, "I want to be the Crown Prince, and since Father won't grant it, I have no choice but to seize it myself.

If my brother Dongfang Xinghe were to really inherit the throne, I would have no way to survive."

Lu Jin'an nodded, "Are you the Empress's legitimate offspring?"

"Yes." Dongfang Xinglan nodded, "But Mother died after giving birth to me, and because of my legitimate status, I could easily rally an army under the banner of 'Clearing the King's Side,' otherwise the Crown Prince Dongfang Xinghe would have already used this excuse to condemn me."

"Alright." Lu Jin'an looked at Dongfang Xinglan, "Then proceed according to the original plan."

Dongfang Xinglan nodded, his eyelids lowered as he spoke softly, "There's something I need to tell you, in Dragon Valley Ridge, Dongfang Xingbai claimed to be an envoy sent by God, and said his surname was Bai."

Bai?

Lu Jin'an's fingers paused in cake-making; could it be the Bai from Qingshui Bai Family at Hidden Life Mountain?

If so, does the Eastern Dynasty indeed fall under Hidden Life Mountain's territory?

"Also, I hope you can help me investigate something." Dongfang Xinglan continued, "At that time, Dongfang Xingbai also said that only a few of the tens of millions of the Dongfang Family could survive; I hope you can help me clarify this."

Lu Jin'an glanced thoughtfully at Dongfang Xinglan, inevitably linking it to the Demon Clan Ancient Court's plans for the Human Clan to open a Path of Descent.

Which suggests there is a connection between these two matters.

It seems that the Upper Realm's strategic layout in the three great dynasties has reached its final stages and is about to conclude.

"I understand."

"Then I leave it to you." Dongfang Xinglan smiled slightly and left the kitchen.

Lu Jin'an glanced at her departing figure, wondering what information this person might still be concealing...

Dongfang Xingbai, who claimed to be surnamed Bai, must have said other things, otherwise, why would he suddenly claim that the Dongfang Family would suffer countless casualties?

There must be a precondition.

After all, the Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspector present at the scene did not suppress Dongfang Xinglan immediately, and Dongfang Xinglan deliberately feigned weakness...

She must have extracted more crucial information, and having done so, decided to silence him.

"Master, Master, look at Zhiyu, Zhiyu finished eating!"

The crisp voice of Zhiyu, who was tugging at his clothes, brought Lu Jin'an back to reality. He looked down at Zhiyu, who only reached his chest, and smiled gently, "Wait a little longer, and you can eat, plus they've prepared breakfast for you, go eat first."

"No, Zhiyu wants to stay with Master!" Zhiyu immediately refused, for the first time showing that Master outweighed the allure of food.

Lu Jin'an couldn't help but smile; though Zhiyu seemed to still understand only half of it, the stronger sense of dependence imprinted in her mind seemed instinctual.

"Alright, then stay with me." Lu Jin'an smeared a bit of cream on her face.

Zhiyu pouted, "Master should feed Zhiyu's mouth."

"Next time."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Great~ Long live Master~"

When Lu Jin'an brought the cake to the dining table, it was just around lunchtime, and the table included only him and Zhiyu, surrounded by a few maids.

Zhiyu, who hadn't had cake for a long time, was so happy she couldn't bother with any other dishes on the table. After taking a few bites of food himself, Lu Jin'an instructed Zhiyu to eat obediently here and then headed to the main hall of Prince Qin Mansion.

At the table, Dongfang Xinglan was eating while handling state affairs.

Seeing him enter, Dongfang Xinglan set aside the work at hand and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Can you show me the Ten Directions Breathing Technique?"

Lu Jin'an went straight to the point; to him, the uniqueness of the Ten Directions Breathing Technique lay not only in its superior Body Refining Method but also in its potential to give Dongfang Xinglan the foundation for Crossing Tribulation.

He was curious.

He approached the table, took out five Body Refining Methods and techniques from the storage space, and placed them on the table.

Dongfang Xinglan's gaze was instantly drawn; this was knowledge she lacked.

"The Ten Directions Breathing Technique is a secret not passed on within our Royal Family." Dongfang Xinglan looked into Lu Jin'an's eyes, "It only has a general outline; the rest is up to individual understanding."

After speaking, she drew out a piece of white paper and wrote down the general outline.

Lu Jin'an took hold of it, then sat on a chair to contemplate.

'On Tianling Mountain a cold light falls, within the Shentang Gate the sky is full of stars, the sudden appearance of Heavenly Mechanism gathers all, within the Yongquan Gate the world is alike, Seven Killings enter fate and transform heavily, midnight, noon, dawn, dusk set the four directions...'

Lu Jin'an slightly squinted, lost in thought.

Tianling, Shentang, and Yongquan are important acupoints, while Heavenly Mechanism and Seven Killings are stars from the Southern Dipper Star System in Ziwei Doushu...

Hence, the Ten Directions Breathing Technique is also a Body Refining Method that uses Star Power for body refining.

However, compared to the Dao Palace Nine Stars, it is much gentler, as the Ten Directions Breathing Technique emphasizes a gradual approach and unobtrusively refining the body with Star Power.

But... is it truly just gradual?

Just as the main star of the Beidou Star System is Ziwei, the main star of the Southern Dipper Star System is Tian Fu, but this general outline doesn't mention it, or maybe, it's deliberately not mentioned.
