'Alchemy of Souls' Episode 19: The Truth That Binds Them All
In episode 19 of "Alchemy of Souls," the story behind Jin Bu Yeon's (Jung So Min) disappearance is revealed.
When Jin Mu (Jo Jae Yoon) and Jin Woo Tak (Joo Seok Tae) are looking for the ice stone that Jang Gang (Joo Sang Wook) discarded, Jin Bu Yeon is the one who is able to locate it.
It turns out that the young priestess is born with the power of the ice stone, bringing her back to life after dying inside her mother's womb. Her power also allowed her to manipulate the energy of the ice stone as she is the direct descendant of the Jin-Choi clan, the most powerful mages in Daeho.
Meanwhile, Jin Cho Yeon (Oh My Girl Arin) and Park Dang Gu (Yoo In Soo) discover the secret of the royal queen, who's actually a faker-a sorceress who only wants to rule the world with the ice stone.
Jang Uk Sacrifices Everything As The Man Born With The King's Star
To destroy the barrier created by the ice stone, Jang Uk (Lee Jae Wook) plans to use his energy to use Tansu, and transform the fog into rain.
Through this, everyone will be safe, especially Seo Yul (Hwang Minhyun) who's about to die after fighting the soul shifter.
Jang Uk cooperates with Crown Prince Go Won (Shin Seung Ho), asking him to act as the man born with the King's Star, the hero that will end the chaos.
