After taking a tube of potion every day and recuperating for three days, Varina's body finally recovered.
In the past few days, he found that Qili had indeed changed a lot.
For example, she no longer deliberately gets close to herself, no longer uses the "heartbeat" curse, and she even deliberately avoids the "truth" state after taking medicine...
Adding all the details together, Varina came to a strange conclusion——
"She seems to want to get along with me as an equal and be a true friend?"
Regardless of whether this conclusion is correct or not, it is true that Warina has been having a better time these days.
If she continues to launch a fierce offensive like she did a few days ago, and he is injured and cannot avoid it, he may have to experience Russell's famous saying "The taste of a witch is really good."
Qili's performance strengthened Varina's determination to find a gentle solution.
December 31, evening.
Varina and Qili enjoyed the deluxe New Year's set meal ordered from the restaurant together in the empty room.
After several glasses of Dixie champagne, Qi Li's face turned rosy, which was rare - but she hadn't seen it much in the past few days - and she didn't know how much alcohol played a role in it.
During the meal, Varina rarely thought of his uncle's family.
In previous years, he had welcomed the New Year with his uncle's family.
Once, Varina thought this situation would last until he got married and started a family, but he never expected that he would "die young" so soon.
I wonder if they will think of me at this time?
As soon as this idea came to Varina's mind, Qili stretched out the wine glass and clinked it against his glass.
"It's not polite to zone out when dining with a woman."
Alas... Even though she is a witch, she does not spend the New Year alone.
Better than next year's Klein.
Varina clinked the wine glass back and said with a smile: "Cheers."
…
After dinner, Varina's room.
Just like a replay of the last scene, Qili handed him a note with a handwritten recipe, and then took out various ingredients from the bag.
There are two differences.
One is that the text for writing the formula has been changed from Loen to ancient Hermes; the other is that there are no utensils such as beakers and measuring cylinders in the bag this time.
After Varina dug out the utensil he used last time, he took the formula into his hand.
"Sequence 8: Instigator"
"Main materials: A pair of pointed beaks of the Evil Song Nightingale, and the complete brain of the Shadow Lizard."
"Supplementary materials: 100 ml of pure water, 7 drops of poisonous violet juice, 10 ml of psychedelic grass essential oil, 17 drops of black datura juice."
With the experience of preparing the magic potion by himself last time, and the additional enhancement of the "Assassin's" body control, Warina started to prepare the magic potion he needed for the second time with great confidence.
The pure water is the condensed water he prepared by boiling water in a coal stove a few days ago.
Varina used a measuring cylinder to take 100 ml and poured it into a beaker. Then he added the auxiliary materials one by one and got a cup of dark liquid that looked very similar to the ink he had used in the Silen Textile Factory.
Of course, it just looks like it, but the smell is far different.
This glass of black water exudes a disgusting but indescribable smell, worse than the smell in the sewer.
Varina held his breath and added a long black pointed beak and a gray-white animal brain.
The two main ingredients of the potion were dissolved in the black water in the beaker, and the "Instigator" potion was prepared.
It turned into a mixture of black and white, forming a swirling pattern in the beaker.
To be on the safe side, Varina looked at Qili first.
no problem.
There was nothing to hesitate about. Varina picked up the beaker and poured the potion into his mouth, wondering whether he would awaken new abilities.
Completely different from the last painful experience.
Warina felt like drinking a cup of honey this time, it was soft in the mouth and fragrant on the lips and teeth.
As the potion dissolved in his body, he felt that the parts of his body from his chest up began to become hot and cold, especially his head and throat.
This feeling quickly dissipated on its own, and Warina once again felt a little irritable - this was a state of a small amount of spiritual overflow, a slightly uncontrolled state.
"Enter meditation and gather your spirituality." Qili reminded.
Varina knew what to do and soon fell into a meditative state.
Different from the usual meditation, he once again felt that his vision was lifted up, and he returned to the quiet and slightly broken void.
The feeling of physical and mental sublimation appears again.
His spirituality extended bit by bit, unfolding inch by inch. Varina looked down at it quietly, felt it, and restrained it.
Qi Li looked after him and noticed that Varina quickly entered a meditative state, with a smile on her lips.
A few minutes later, she found that Varina still had not completed the step of constricting his spirituality, and she frowned slightly again.
After a few more minutes, Varina breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.
He is already the "instigator."
"Keep your current state," Qili said in a soft voice: "Next, I will guide you to activate your spiritual vision."
"Put your hands up in front of your eyes, with your index fingers facing each other but not touching."
Varina quickly did so.
“Put the focus of your gaze on the back of your hand, which must be the back, and then move your fingers slowly, keeping them opposite but not touching, and don’t let them leave your sight.”
Varina continued to do as he was told, focusing his gaze on the void behind his palm, letting his two index fingers that were opposite and not touching move slowly within his sight range.
Once, twice, three times... changes suddenly appeared during a certain move.
He saw a little more fiery red color between his fingers.
Qili saw the change in Varina's movements and understood that he had seen the color of his own aura.
"Your current state is preliminary spiritual vision," Qili reminded softly, "The color you see is the outward symbol of the 'etheric body'."
In order to maintain the initial state of spiritual vision stably, Varina nodded very slightly as a response.
"You can try to divert your attention and look elsewhere."
In the process of shifting his gaze, Varina still needed the cooperation of his palms at first. After he became more proficient, he lowered his palms and still stabilized the state of his spiritual vision.
He looked at himself first and found that it was exactly as described in the original book, the aura colors were different in every part of his body.
Then, he looked at Qili again.
Her "etheric body" aura is slightly thicker than her own, which is consistent with her physical condition that has not yet fully recovered.
As for the other objects in the room, they did not emit any brilliance, which meant that they did not contain spirituality.
"Okay, don't let your first spiritual vision last too long. I will now teach you how to turn off your spiritual vision."
Qili gave Varina a short period of time to get acquainted with him, and then she guided him softly again.
"Imagine the object as before, concentrate your attention, then switch to the meditative state, close your eyes, control the spirit, and repeatedly tell it to stop, you can end the spiritual vision state."
Varina soon succeeded in his attempt.
Finally, just like Old Neil taught Klein in the original work, Qili told him how to set the "switch" of spiritual vision by hinting at himself and repeatedly affecting his spirituality.
After spending some time, Varina successfully set the switch action to the action he had already thought of——
With the cooperation of the tongue, two clicks of the left teeth represent "open", and two clicks of the right teeth represent "off".
It's both hidden and convenient, perfect.
