Strength Potion? / Can You Give Me a Different Face?

Isn't this simply a serious illness?

Therefore, apart from the special investigation teams that investigate paranormal phenomena and some humble young people, the citizens of Star Prefecture are all speculating.

Those who come seeking thrills mostly have that serious illness to some extent!

As night fell and a mist enveloped the area, terrifying screechs could be heard from time to time in the darkness.

At this time, undercurrents were swirling within Ping'an Street, as many nocturnal spirits ventured out in search of food.

In fact, from the perspective of the supernatural, there is no distinction between day and night in this world. As long as you are hungry or want to go out and play, you can take a trip whenever you want.

Supernatural creatures are relatively rare in the area at the edge of the mist, so Ling Mengxue didn't encounter many when she came today. In addition, she was carrying the aura of the 'Destiny Engraver', which made it even less likely that any supernatural creature would dare to approach her.

Lying in the bedroom of his small house.

She had just gone upstairs to rest for a while after leaving Blood Doll at the front desk to watch the shop.

But soon after she closed her eyes, she could feel the room temperature drop significantly, and even wearing the witch's costume, she could feel a chill.

A person's temperature was clearly around ten degrees Celsius then, but now it's probably all negative.

What kind of weather is this?!

The room was exquisitely decorated; she had chosen her favorite light blue style for the decor and was about to open the wardrobe to buy herself some clothes when...

Holy crap!

They're all dressed as witches!

Skirts, stockings, high heels, lace...

Not a single piece of clothing that's even "wearable"?

Ling Mengxue casually grabbed a white collarless T-shirt. It was lightweight and comfortable, and the materials were definitely top-notch, but something just didn't feel right to her.

Must a witch forever maintain her mysterious beauty?

Are we not even allowed to add a down jacket or a sweater?

Feeling a chill beneath her, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but shiver again, squeezing her legs together and sitting back on the bed.

She could make sure she closed all the windows perfectly, not a drop of water leaked in, not a single breeze could get in, but for some reason she just felt a chill inexplicably.

Is it a mental curse originating from the entire secret realm?

Ling Mengxue was puzzled and tried to activate the cheat for ten seconds. When her cultivation level remained at the Middle Tier, the coldness completely disappeared.

She hadn't expected that this thing was related to one's cultivation level.

If that's the reason, then unlocking to the Sacred Hall realm goes without saying; aside from the supernatural creatures that originally lived in the Ping'an District, it should only be able to affect low-level life forms.

Generally speaking, this is the principle that the curse of the secret realm follows.

With no other option, Ling Mengxue could only retrieve the down jacket she had brought with her from her Destiny Space. There were thousands upon thousands of garments to choose from, so she didn't have to worry.

However, after putting it on, it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all; the coldness penetrated right through me!

"Holy crap, this is outrageous!"

Ling Mengxue cursed and swore, then ripped off her coat and threw it on the bed, completely abandoning any ladylike demeanor.

She sighed, then suddenly noticed her thin witch outfit and hesitated slightly.

Despite the skirt and lining being extremely light, they were able to keep out the curse mist, possessing a built-in magical protective effect.

So, does that mean I can only wear witch costumes while in the Ping'an District?

Could I cast a similar spell myself?

After thinking for a moment, Ling Mengxue decided to continue searching through the wardrobe.

Anyway, all these clothes are the same, so I guess I just need to add one more item and that should be enough.

Finally, she chose a light and thin white gauze dress, and after putting it on, she felt much better, but she didn't feel like she was wearing anything extra.

The clothing is probably too light, so it carries no weight and doesn't hinder movement.

The sleeves of the gauze dress were somewhat translucent, allowing a glimpse of the clothing underneath, creating a strangely clear and hazy beauty, like the moon reflected in water through mist.

However, Ling Mengxue always felt that something was missing, as if it wasn't perfect.

The next second, feeling that familiar coolness, she couldn't help but blush again.

"You can add clothes, but you can't add another pair of underwear, can you?"

Helplessly rubbing her forehead, she noticed the wardrobe with stockings and remembered that they were there. She immediately started searching through them again.

"Black stockings? Too thin, no thanks!"

"And this one too, holy crap, it even has letters in it! Balenciaga actually made this?!"

"Pink? Are you sure this is the right place to wear stockings of this color?!"

Ling Mengxue was speechless. Witch costumes were one thing, but now even these things were made to look so gaudy.

She had originally wanted to choose white stockings, which were pure, beautiful, and pleasing to the eye, but her current persona didn't match the outfit at all. Her "queen" aura would definitely be affected, and she would lose some of her coolness.

I remembered the school uniforms. The girls' uniforms came with matching leggings, which seemed to be thicker for autumn and winter. Since the school was a place where you couldn't wear sheer or semi-transparent black stockings, they were basically all plain black. Of course, that doesn't include the girls secretly changing their leggings.

To be honest, Ling Mengxue was quite envious of the "bread-colored clothes" in the TV series, where boys and girls were all dressed the same, emphasizing gender equality, which allowed for better and more harmonious coexistence.

You agree, right?

The one the school gave us didn't have any magical enhancement, so wearing it was practically useless; in the end, we could only choose one from the closet.

She can't just wear seductive black stockings and garter stockings randomly; she's not some cheap, slutty woman.

Huh? I actually thought that??

Pah! Damn, it must be because of that brat Tang Ling's influence!

Ling Mengxue gritted her teeth, a hint of shame and indignation on her face.

At first, aside from being scolded by Tang Ling a few times, which made her so angry that she almost beat someone to death, she gradually became numb in the subsequent battles.

Some unpleasant memories came back, and my mood was affected again.

Fortunately, they've all become quite well-behaved now.

At least, that's how it appears on the surface...

In the end, she chose a pair of black pantyhose that looked similar to what she remembered. Following Xi Yan's instructions, she slightly lifted her skirt and slipped them on in a few quick movements.

The sensation is a bit strange; it pulls you up from your toes in one smooth motion, with a slight, bouncy, binding feeling.

Forget it, I won't think about anything. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Just don't let your imagination run wild, or you'll waste paper.

It's quite warm, but it pinches my butt a bit, which takes some getting used to. I feel like it's something that takes time to get used to.

After organizing the basic magic potion illustrations, Ling Mengxue went to the laboratory to begin "textbook operations".

The lab has all the basic materials; healing medicines and recovery potions can be prepared in advance for unforeseen circumstances.

After finishing the basic potion preparation, she took out the <Silver-Haired Witch's Grimoire> from the Destiny Space.

The materials we obtained earlier can also be used to make some special "Strength Potion".

Many legendary recipe books contain this ingredient, but you just don't have the materials.

However, once you choose to refine the potion, your body will enter an automatic management state, so you don't need to operate it yourself anymore.

The refining process itself is a bit nauseating...

[Hercules Potion) ]

[Quality: Special]

[Materials: First-Order Paranormal Creature Tissue x2, Ghost Umbrella x3, Fluorite Powder x5, Vampire Bat Wings x2, Shed-Child Flower x1, Fire Slime x3, etc.]

[Description: A potion that can greatly increase attack power, but it also brings some strange, negligible side effects... (Note: Duration: 24 hours)]

Chapter 53 Can I Get a New Face?

"This potion... seems like it might work!"

After a moment's thought, Ling Mengxue came up with this definition.

Enough with the chit-chat, let's get started.

She gathered all the necessary materials for making the potion in the materials room.

Most of the materials were already stockpiled, and the paranormal creature's organization had already collected some, so they could be used directly.

She didn't have any alchemy level, and although she could auto-play, the skill's effect would disappear after the mission ended, so she slowly memorized some of the steps.

Through constant exposure, her skills will gradually improve, and she estimates she'll become a master by then.

"OK, begin the refining!"

[Ding! You have ground up the Shed-Child Flower, Alchemy Experience +5]

[Ding! You have extracted the essence of Ghost Umbrella petals, Alchemy Experience +5]

[Ding! You have purified the Fire Slime. Alchemy experience +5]

Glug glug--

In front of the induction cooker, Ling Mengxue vigorously stirred the pot with chopsticks. Steam rose from the pot, accompanied by strange bubbles and viscous liquid, and even a cloud of gas shaped like a skull floated out...

Ling Mengxue wiped her mouth, seemingly unconcerned, her expression calm as she focused on her work.

Using an induction cooker to make medicine is a bit far-fetched, but what can you do when it's called a "magical induction cooker"?

You can even just throw all the ingredients and seasonings in, and it will automatically cook a delicious pot of food for you!

This "lazy person's mode" has even made her want to buy one.

No, I'll just pack it all up and take it home!

"Is it first the Ghost Umbrella, and then the Vampire Bat's wings that are thrown in?"

[Ding! You have added potion materials. Alchemy experience +1]

[Ding! You have added potion materials. Alchemy experience +1]

[Ding! You have added potion materials. Alchemy experience +1]

Glug glug--

Watching skulls emerge one after another from the pot, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Damn, is this really meant for human consumption?

Will this cause food poisoning?

Or is it... that this thing was originally poison?

Otherwise, how could it be so... Hmm? It smells quite nice!

Sensing the rich floral fragrance, Ling Mengxue was suddenly a little dazed.

Despite having so many strange ingredients, it shouldn't taste very good, but it's all masked by a peculiar floral fragrance...

Are they 'Shed-Child Flower' and 'Ghost Umbrella'?

Is it that thing known as the "flower of hell"?

Observing the scene inside the pot with some surprise, Ling Mengxue didn't stop stirring with her chopsticks.

The medicine in the pot on the induction cooker kept churning, constantly changing colors like red, green, black, and purple, until it finally boiled down to a pot of clear... mineral water?

Holy crap?!

Did I mess this up??

Before Ling Mengxue could even ask Xi He, this haughty little girl started reciting the menu again.
