"Subdue Evil, the day before yesterday when we first met this clerk, what was her strength like?"
An Jing thought rapidly, bending down to inspect the battle traces within the entire Mount Xiao Zhe shop while asking Sword Spirit some information he himself couldn't discern, "Was she at the middle stage of Qi Refinement?"
"Yes," the Sword Spirit quickly replied, "She was at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, approaching the sixth. Her strength was a bit weaker than that of the female manager who came after, yet she lacked combat experience and didn't have a murderous aura. I didn't pay much attention to the details."
This was odd. After finishing the inspection and standing up, An Jing's puzzlement intensified.
The clerk's strength wasn't weak — being at the fifth level of Qi Refinement in the Tianyuan Realm already counted as a key player, capable of controlling various Magic Artifacts and Spirit Instruments, meaning she could handle all sorts of large Spirit Instruments.
