The Black Beast’s Useless Concubine - 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 realized he had fallen into Qing Xuantian’s trap.
How was Bai Ye channeling her power?
Ji Fu did not deign to explain.
If others knew about Bai Ye’s rare inheritance, there would be stronger forces coming after her.
Bai Ye would not be allowed to grow her powers. Instead, she would be hunted down and kept on a leash like a prized possession.
“You’re shameless!” Ji Fu felt like puking blood.
Qing Xuantian continued saying, “Little Ye was an eighth-ranked practitioner the last I saw her but clearly she has now surpassed that. Elder Ji, don’t be coy, Bai Ye is in no way disabled.”
The words pricked at Ji Fu. The young man was utterly shameless!
Suddenly, Bai Ye spoke up in a thoughtful tone, “Who said I was stronger than before?”
Then, she appeared before the Ranking Crystal which was situated a few feet away. She channeled all her Mystic Power into the crystal.
The next moment…
A green light filled the clear crystal and traveled up its body.
“Fifth rank?” The result came as a shock to everyone. The green light on the crystal rose to the level which indicated Bai Ye was a fifth-ranked practitioner.
Fifth-ranked?
How was that possible?
This was the girl who kicked up a storm in the streets of Tong City. Everyone knew she bested Yun Mengmeng and her guards.
Furthermore, the discussion among the parties involved and the crowd hinted that Bai Ye was inherently talented. Although she was not a Mystic Warrior, everyone expected her to be a ninth-ranked practitioner.
However…
“Five…” The people in the room blinked and stared at the Ranking Crystal. The result remained unchanged.
“As you can see, I went from being an eighth-ranked to a fifth-ranked practitioner. Maybe I could recover because my body is still young but if it weren’t for Grandpa Qin’s quick thinking, I might be thoroughly wasted! I was lucky we had
Master Qin’s Heavenly Treasure
on hand,” Bai Ye said resoundingly with her inner strength.
She had counted on Qing Xuantian attacking her from this angle. Hence, she kept her Mystic Power suppressed to a fifth-ranker’s.
Mu Yunzhan—who had been looking on from the sidelines—began to speak, “I remember one of Old General Luo’s sons had overtrained and disabled his meridians. The medication given by Master Qin helped him recover. Therefore, I’m sure the Heavenly Treasure from Master Qin must have helped Bai Ye’s recovery.”
“Oh!”
The crowd exclaimed.
Who knew a severed meridian could be salvaged. The miracle story was convincing because it involved Qin Ban.
“There is nothing Master Qin cannot do!”
“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.
- A medicine.
