The "underground trading market" is actually not underground.
Valeela walked into the dim passage, passed through several rooms, and came to a quite open indoor space. The size and atmosphere were very similar to the "Lettuce and Meat" market on Iron Cross Street.
It is quite lively here. Some people have set up street stalls, which are piled with bottles and cans, and some people are walking among them, inspecting, communicating, or comparing prices.
The main purpose of Valeera's visit this time was to buy some herbs. After a quick glance, she quickly spotted a stall nearby.
She walked over, squatted down sideways, and picked out the items for sale one by one.
Well, this jar of dried buckthorn fruits is useful... these fire nettle leaves can also be bought... the powder of peony root? This is of no use...
The stall owner in black robe saw that she was just flipping through the selections and couldn't help but ask: "Miss, what do you want to buy?"
By this time, Valeela had already looked at all the products.
She stood up, clapped her hands, and replied with a smile: "I'll buy it when I get back later. Don't close the stall too early."
Seeing Valeela leaving with her hands behind her back, the stall owner hesitated and decided to go back later today.
Valila walked through a row of stalls and walked to the other side of the market in more than ten minutes.
When she was about to change to another row of booths to observe, a young man with a pale face and messy black hair walked over to her, with an expression that was half sleepwalking and half crazy.
"Goddess of salvation..."
He stopped a few steps in front of Valeera, mumbling a whisper that could barely make out a few words.
This is...Admissor.
Valeera was a little defensive at first, but after hearing the other party's whisper, she understood the identity of this young man——
Half a "monster" that has been stuck in this market.
Because his natural inspiration is too high, he can often see things he shouldn't see and hear sounds he shouldn't hear, so he often talks nonsense and is often hurt.

What did he see that made him think I could redeem him?
Valeela hesitated for a moment, but decided to try to give him a hand.
She pretended to smooth her bangs in front of her forehead and swiped them in front of her eyes, opening up the "grey vision" and establishing a "connection" between herself and Admissor.
A large number of chaotic thoughts rushed over along the newly established "connection", washing through Valeela's mind.
She frowned slightly, and among the messy and broken pictures and some crazy thoughts, she could distinguish the picture that the young man had just seen——
Admissor stood among a group of people and looked ahead with them at himself wearing a windbreaker and trousers.
The promotion ceremony of "Iron Knight".
This was the interpretation that Valeira immediately thought of after recognizing the picture.
"Relax, I'll teach you meditation."
Valeela tried to send a thought to communicate with Admissor mentally.
This is the only way she can think of and can possibly help this young man.
While maintaining the "connection", Valeela bypassed Admissor and walked into the middle of a row of stalls again.
Of course, she walked slower this time.
After they were far away, Admissor also took steps and followed Valeela from a distance.
About half an hour later, Valeera passed through a row of stalls again.
During this time, she had been guiding Admisol through his first meditation, and finally made progress.
Admisor completed the first step of meditation——
Concentrate your thoughts and picture a complete concrete object in your mind.
At this time, Admissor stopped quietly on the periphery, and the expression on his face became much calmer.
"Very good, then replace the specific things in your mind with items that do not exist in reality."
…
“Control your spirituality through repeated suggestions.”
After spending some time, Valeera conveyed the key points of meditation and controlling spiritual vision to Admissor, and then disconnected the "connection".
There was only so much she could do.
After getting rid of the "monster", Valeera quickened her pace and turned the trading market in a circle.
"Miss, you are finally back."
The first stall owner, who was wearing a black robe and dressed like a village witch doctor, took the initiative and asked, "What herbs do you want to buy?"
"This, this...and this, this."
Valila pointed out a few items and asked with a smile: "Don't be too expensive. If it's too expensive, I can't afford it."
"No, no, I will definitely give you the most affordable price."
The stall owner put several tin cans into paper bags, did a little mental calculation, and quoted the total price, "A total of 10 soles."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Valeela took out the change from her pocket to complete the transaction, then carried the paper bag and walked to the next stall she was interested in.
…
It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Valila returned to the hotel room on Daffodil Street with the herbs she bought.
Unfortunately, this time she only bought herbs and nothing else.
Especially the "Book of Witches". She carefully looked through several stalls selling occult books, but couldn't find it.
Using the coal stove and kettle provided by the hotel, she picked out a few herbs and began to brew her first "Witch" decoction after her promotion.
The "Witch" also has many potions, but most of them have negative effects.
For example, the simpler ones include "weakening potion", "slowing potion", "disease-causing potion", etc., while the more complex ones include "aphrodisiac potion", "truth truth potion" and "psychedelic potion".
For example, the compound "regeneration potion" that Qi Li once gave her had a side effect, in addition to a slight "real truth" effect, and would actually reduce the lifespan of the user.
Judging from her injuries after taking three doses, it may have taken her several months to half a year to recover early.
This time she was going to make a "disease-causing potion."
The specific effect is to cause the user to contract a disease similar to gastroenteritis, with symptoms such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, and nausea.
After the water boiled, Valeera added several herbs such as fire nettle leaves and buckthorn fruits into it. After boiling, it was filtered through linen cloth, and a cup of thick gray-brown potion was obtained.
Pour the medicine into a narrow-mouthed glass bottle, add a little cold water to dilute it, and a "slimming tea" is ready.
This was something she carefully prepared for chubby Welch, hoping he would like it.
…
The next day, before class.
Valeera smiled and looked at Welch McGowan, who was sitting behind her and next to Klein, and asked:
"Welch, do you believe there is a magic slimming tea that can help you lose weight if you drink it?"
"Haha, I hope so," Welch patted his round belly, "That way I don't have to control my appetite and can have more time to study delicious food."
"Look, what is this."
Valeera smiled and showed her special potion and placed it in front of Welch.
"The Jianhai special flavor snacks you brought over the day before yesterday are delicious. This is the return gift I prepared for you."
"Valila's secret slimming tea, please try it quickly."
Welch opened the bottle cap, took a breath, smelled the bitter herbal smell, and couldn't help but ask:
"Are you sure it can be drunk without being poisoned?"
"Of course not, I promise."
Valila smiled and said: "With this bottle, I guarantee you will lose at least 10 pounds within a week."
"Is there really such a magical weight-loss tea?"
Before Welch could be fooled, Naya's eyes lit up and she asked, "Valila, can you give me a bottle too?"
"Then let's take this bottle first..." Valeela pretended to reach out.
"this is mine!"
Welch retracted his hand, then raised his head, and drank the "slimming tea" in his hand.
