Chapter 33

Outsmarted!

It was common knowledge that once a meridian was severed, there was no way to restore it. If the empire’s strongest warrior, Qin Ban, had his meridians severed, even the empire’s first-ranked master alchemist would not be able to save him.

“Go on.” Noting that Ji Fu was tongue-tied, Qing Xuantian urged him on.

Ji Fu did not deign to explain.

“Was Master Qin also an alchemist?”

The crowd was excited.

Qing Xuantian grimaced, his face was stinging from the metaphorical slap from Bai Ye. He watched as his trump card was effortlessly torn to shreds.
