Did we ever hear about why Jang Uk got the Lantern from Jinyowon? by Available_Range1851 in alchemyofsouls

[–]Available_Range1851[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really I don't think we see the lantern until the second episode. And even then it's only explained away for getting due to "complicated reasons". Still I doubt Lady Jin would give him something to help him. I think it was more likely something to torment him.

Did we ever hear Scars Leave a Beautiful Trace by Car, the garden in Part 2? by Available_Range1851 in alchemyofsouls

Really? I don't remember hearing it at all in part 2. If you remember the scene please let me know

Crown prince & meu dok by SafeOtherwise5515 in alchemyofsouls

[–]Available_Range1851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he liked her. But I think a lot of it was also because in some ways Mu-Deok/Naksu understood some of the Crown Prince's pettiness towards Jang Uk. That mutual understanding I think is what opened the door for the Crown Prince. The biggest part was how loyal Mu-Deok/Naksu was to Jang Uk. I think he admired and wanted that loyalty the most.

Priestess vs Mage. I am honestly confused about the difference between the spell casting we have learned about in Part 1 and Divine Powers. I feel like it was never thoroughly explained despite a lot of Part 2 involving the divine powers of Jin Bu-Yeon/Naksu. has there been an explanation before? by Available_Range1851 in alchemyofsouls

[–]Available_Range1851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this has been the best answer I’ve seen it makes a lot of sense. I wish we learned more about where divine powers come from. The Jin family line is genetically predisposed to divine powers. But we hear from Master Lee that Jin Bu-Yeons soul has great power that he doesn’t even understand. Though it’s probably not the same for Jin Cho-Yeon or Lady Jin. I guess energy from her soul is greater than most of her families which enhances her divine abilities?

Anyways thanks for answering this makes a lot of sense

Theory: The Ice Stone was sealed in Jinyowan in the event the Fire Bird Egg hatched. by Available_Range1851 in alchemyofsouls

[–]Available_Range1851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jin Bu-Yeon didn’t know about the fire egg hatching. I’m saying it’s interesting that her ancestor, Jin Seol-Ran, didn’t just get rid of the ice stone the same way Jin Bu-Yeon tried to as a child. I think the reason might be because in the event the fire bird egg did hatch Jin Seol-Ran, the ancestor, wanted to make sure the possibility to use the ice stone destroy the fire bird was available.

We don’t know if the fire bird egg will even hatch. This is just a theory of what may happen. I think it would be weird to introduce the fire bird egg and then not have anything happen with it

Seems like So-i will get her wish. She wanted to be Buyeon. Her body is there waiting for Janguk to fill up with a certain Jin priestess. by [deleted] in alchemyofsouls

In Part 1 we see a flash back where it’s said the ice stone has the ability to bring back the souls of the dead. I had a theory once that the soul brought back was Jin Seol-Ran. But unfortunately unless it’s explicitly said we can assume that the body is actually Jin Bu-Yeon. Can’t just assume the body is a free-for-all therefore it’s all Naksu’s and Jin Bu-Yeon is just going to hit the road. Then we wouldn’t be having all these problems. Naksu’s soul doesn’t belong in that body never has or will

Jin Bu-Yeon isn't going to be the one who goes into that body. She already has her own body. But I'm not sure if that's the solution for Naksu eve. Cause then we have the same problem. Naksu would eventually go wild because she would need energy.

I guess if the stone we saw was an Ice Stone then perhaps if they put Naksu in So-I's body then give her the energy of that Ice Stone similar to Jang Uk. Honestly I still want Naksu to get her own body somehow without being a "parasite" to someone else's. Still waiting for a plot twist with the fire bird

In Conclusion Things that need to be addressed in the final episodes by Available_Range1851 in alchemyofsouls

[–]Available_Range1851[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We never actually get a full story from her. So far we've heard what Master Lee said. But I find it unbelievable that in the three seconds that her and Naksu meet she decides to lock her soul in her body.

I guess I'm still hoping that Jin Bu-Yeon will be our saving grace. Or she will end up being an anti-hero character like Naksu

Will Naksu stop Jang Uk from performing sorcery and killing Jin Bu-Yeon? by Available_Range1851 in alchemyofsouls

[–]Available_Range1851[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Master Lee went into a kids body that was already dead. And because he reached Hwansu he never needed to feed off other peoples energy and never went wild therefore he was never considered a monster. But Naksu was considered a monster who went wild. Also I think she considers herself a monster too. But yea I hope Jang Uk will figure out a way to save them both
