I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 199 is finished! How could my dear senior sister go crazy too?! (5k views, please vote!)

Ivan nodded to indicate that he understood.

Pilsson continued his warning: "Finally, watch out for that cursed witch in your mage tower; she's an accomplice of Sap!"

"She can't kill you directly, so don't get angry and break the rules here."

Ivan nodded in thanks and then left alone.

As he walked, Ivan smiled.

The moment he was bitten by Princess Sap, he first used copper plague to solidify into more than a dozen tiny copper balls within the texture of his skin, hiding the poisonous blood within them.

He then collected all the poisonous blood from his body, allowing the other party to eat his flesh and blood.

Thanks to his promotion to expert, he was able to exert incredibly precise control over these extraordinary properties.

He precisely controlled the onset of the poisonous blood-filled copper spheres to occur four hours later.

"Since you want to harm my dear senior sister, then I don't mind letting you experience my ruthless skills first!"

"Your attack was too sudden. I had no intention of harming you; I was just defending myself!"

With that thought in mind, Ivan had already walked out of the castle, striding across the bluestone slabs, his heart filled with anticipation.

"A magic potion with side effects that can endanger lives?"

"Holy crap! That's so cool!"

Clutching his cauldron, Ivan quickly returned to the mage tower.

Since the potion for tonight was so urgent, he decided to make it first and see if there were any potion recipes he hadn't seen before.

Just as they returned to the mage tower, an elegant and ethereal figure suddenly appeared.

She wore a black gauze dress and a black veil on her head. She was tall and slender, and the gauze dress swayed gently with her ethereal movements, exuding an indescribable eerie elegance.

Unfortunately, beneath that black veil, the face was just as eerie and distorted.

Her face was so beautiful, like an angel's.

The other side of his face was severely burned, with numerous scars and mutilated flesh mixed together, and various tissues uneven.

Lacking lips and eyelids, its wide-open eyes and protruding teeth make it resemble a demon.

The moment Ivan saw the woman, his intuition immediately confirmed that she was definitely the one who had cursed him.

Because of the information I just received from Pilsson, Ivan already knows that this guy is Sap's partner.

Richard had even told him that the witch who had cursed him using her financier traits was very likely a sorceress.

Combining these two factors with his current intuitive spirituality, Evan was incredibly confident in his judgment.

It's clear from this that the witch is the owner of this mage tower.

When the apprentices around her saw her, they all bowed respectfully.

Evan could clearly see a hint of surprise in the other person's eyes, as if they were somewhat shocked by his sudden appearance.

Ivan, maintaining his sunny and cheerful demeanor, quickly walked over to the witch and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Witch!"

The witch of misfortune nodded subtly: "How did the princess perform just now?"

Ivan chuckled and said, "The princess is fairly satisfied with the potion, except she bit off a piece of my flesh."

As Evan spoke, he revealed his arm that had just been bitten off: "Fortunately, I'm an athlete, so I'm physically strong."

"It's already healed by the time we got back!"

Looking at Ivan's unfathomable gaze, the Witch of Misfortune nodded calmly: "Very well."

"The princess will probably need other potions tonight, so please refine them and send them over as soon as possible."

"No mistakes are allowed!"

Ivan then smiled and nodded, before going down the stairs to the underground area.

The underground forging platform appeared particularly deep and dark in the dim firelight, and several parchment scrolls were pasted on the thick stone walls.

These parchment scrolls appear to be made of some special leather, with a faint sheen, and two potion recipes can be clearly seen written on them.

The first recipe is the blood-red potion I just delivered, called: Blood Fat Potion.

"Blood Fat Potion — It fits Princess Bogang's figure perfectly. It seems that woman has drunk quite a lot of it."

"So, the potion's effect is to increase weight and body flexibility?"

"I'll try making it when I have time."

Ivan's gaze quickly fell on the second potion: the Soul Shattering Potion.

Recipe: Frozen Tundra Ghost Core, Centuries Humus, Mint, Cathedral Glass.

Base: Ice.

"Ice? How did you make all this?"

Upon seeing this base, Evan scratched his head.

All the potions used to be melted by heating!

Fortunately, the materials in his area seemed to be plentiful, and Ivan quickly obtained the Frozen Earth Ghost Core.

It was about the size of a fist and always exuded a chilling aura.

Then they took out a humus soil that smelled sour from the sealed box.

Then he picked a few mint leaves from the flowerpot, and finally took out three pieces of stained glass from the cathedral from the plate.

With everything ready, Ivan took out two large blocks of ice from the ice cellar and broke them into smaller pieces.

Then Ivan placed his hands on his cauldron and infused it with his thoughts: "I want to concoct a potion that can make the soul indestructible."

After placing it into the crucible, Ivan immediately put the Frozen Earth Ghost Core in first.

As the two were placed inside, it could be seen that the Frozen Earth Ghost Core and the ice quickly formed a texture similar to shaved ice, somewhere between solid and liquid.

Ivan picked up a stirring stick and quickly stirred.

Soon, a notification came from the crucible: "Put all the remaining auxiliary materials in."

Ivan quickly poured in the century-old humus, mint, and the church glass all at once.

These three substances dissolved rapidly at sub-zero temperatures after entering the environment.

"Speed ​​up the mixing!"

Sensing the crucible's signal, Evan began to speed up.

After several more prompts, the liquid inside completely solidified, turning into a regular hexahedron about the size of an eyeball.

This regular hexahedron is so regular that the concentric rings of its internal patterns are dazzling.

"Is that all?"

Evan held the potion in his hand, and a chilling coldness began to creep over him.

Although Evan really wanted to try it, the situation was still unclear, so it was best not to eat it rashly.

After finishing the potion, Evan placed it in the ice cellar.

This potion needs to be stored frozen.

Then Ivan closed his eyes and adjusted his state and thoughts.

"Our primary goal is to find my senior sister and then escape this dangerous mage tower as soon as possible."

Time quickly came to 5:50.

It was getting dark by then.

Evan picked up the potion and quickly left the mage tower. By then, the knight from noon had arrived.

Urged on as before, the two arrived at the castle once again.

As night fell, lights were lit throughout the castle, and warm yellow light shone from the windows, creating a dreamlike and hazy atmosphere.

Led by the knight, Ivan met Pilsson again, this time the two went to the second floor of the castle.

Behind a massive golden door over four meters high, one could hear a fierce argument emanating from inside.

Pierson said in a low voice, "The entire Twilight Rose Sanatorium is not peaceful. The extraordinary individuals who can come here generally have certain backgrounds and talents."

"No one was willing to submit to anyone else, and various conflicts were commonplace."

"Battles at night, assassinations by day, luring others to trigger the rules —"

"You could say this place is full of backstabbing and intrigue."

Ivan asked curiously, "How did you get here?"

Pilsson sighed, "After you helped me take down Mellen last time, I've become rather useless, and the teacher found out."

"I was punished by the teacher in the end, but I kept my mouth shut and no one knew that you were the one who did it for me."

"I only said that I set some traps to prevent Myron from escaping after the attack."

"Then that old man sent me here, saying that if I could stay here for two months, complete the trial mission, and win the witch's favor."

"If I go back, I can take it a step further, become an expert, and in the future, I will be qualified to become a master."

"Otherwise, you'll die here."

Ivan nodded knowingly and said approvingly, "Well done."

Then, under their watchful eyes, one could see that the entire castle was quite bustling with activity.

Various maids and male servants carried all sorts of delicacies, hurrying back and forth in the banquet hall.

Unfortunately, Ivan's rank is too low to qualify him to move closer to that side.

It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that the group arrived at the conference room, where Pilsner and Ivan were waiting outside.

Upon hearing the clapping sound from inside, Pilsner led Ivan inside.

At this moment, seven or eight people were sitting at a large round table with a diameter of about five meters.

These people were dressed in various costumes; some were dressed as luxurious medieval princes, some as wizards, and some as witches.

Seated in the main seat was the overweight Princess Sapu.

Sitting opposite Princess Sap was a woman with golden vertical pupils, long silver-white hair, and wearing a high-necked, belted dress with lace trim, exuding a cold and dignified air.

It was Hill!

However, Hill's demeanor at this moment was completely different from before.

Although Hill was somewhat impulsive, competitive, and overly concerned with saving face, he seemed like a fairly normal person overall.

At this moment, Hill's red lips were slightly upturned, her eyes gradually widened, and she was in an abnormal state of excitement and frenzy, which at first glance looked evil and bewitching.

"No way? My dear senior sister has gone crazy too!?"

"I went crazy because I was missing a piece of my brain, but my senior sister's brain is perfectly fine!"

At this moment, Ivan was filled with shock and confusion.

Meanwhile, Hill is quite forcefully confronting Sap.

"You fat pig! Don't think that just because you're fat you're intimidating!"

With that, Hill casually waved her hand, placing a bottle of black potion on the table. Her voice was loud and arrogant as she said, "Didn't you want a potion duel?"

"My plants are just lacking nutrients; you'll become excellent fertilizer after you die!"

After hearing this, Sap sneered, "In the end, it's still uncertain who will die!"

At that moment, the door opened, and Ivan walked in, carrying his cauldron on his back and holding the potion in his hands.

Hill, who was already in a state of high excitement, froze the moment he saw Ivan walk in.

The state of frenzy subsided for only a moment before returning to normal.

After Ivan presented the bottle of Soul-Shattering Potion to Sap, Sap snorted coldly, "Get lost! This is none of your business."

Just as Ivan turned to leave, Hill whistled, "Hey, handsome, your potion-making skills are pretty good. Interested in becoming my assistant?"

As Hill prepared to get up, Sap interrupted her, saying, "You bitch, trying to poach my people right in front of me, huh?"

"Don't forget, there are dueling rules here. You have no right to get up and do anything else!"

Hill scoffed, "Rules? They mean nothing to the strong!"

Then Hill suddenly tossed his hair.

The next instant, Hill's stunningly beautiful head flew off her neck.

Like a flying dragon, it instantly arrived in front of Evan, and then, to everyone's astonishment and Evan's own, it planted a hard kiss on Evan's lips.

"Hey handsome! Want to come?"

The head hovered in the air, its voice full of allure: "I love sunny, cheerful guys like you~"

As he spoke, Evan could clearly see the same playfulness and cunning that had once belonged to Hill in that face so close to his own.

The scene reminded Evan of the first time the two of them met.

At that time, I was attacked by a vampire, and then Hill saved me.

In a moment of quick thinking, I frantically gave Hill a meaningful look.

Then Hill's kiss propelled her into the extraordinary realm.

Now that Hill is trapped, I have come here.

Although it was still Hill's kiss, it turned into her giving him a crazy look.

Without another word, Ivan declared loudly, "I, Ivan, have wandered half my life, yet have not met a wise ruler!"

"If the witch does not abandon you, I wish to become your godmother!"

Ivan's words were rather strange, leaving the others at the table completely bewildered.

But at that moment, Hill's strange mental state instantly resonated with Evan.

Then, as if her hair had come to life, it took Ivan's hand and returned to her side under everyone's gaze.

Finally, a pair of clean white hands caught the head and placed it back on the neck.

They resumed their previous split-up behavior.

"You!! You!!"

Seeing this, Sap was filled with anger.

"You damned apprentice, you son of a bitch!!"

"Tonight, I'll make sure you two, you despicable couple, suffer a fate worse than death!"

Upon hearing this, Hill retorted, "You fat pig, stop spouting nonsense."

"You don't expect to shake off all that fat by shaking like that, do you?"

Just as the two were about to clash, a hazy woman descended from the sky, holding a judge's gavel, and calmly spoke.

"The potion duel begins!"

"The only condition for termination is the death of one party, or the other party begs for mercy and admits defeat."

"Otherwise, the two will have to keep taking the potions given to them by the other until a winner is decided."

As the referee spoke, the two spun the table, each placing their potion in front of the other.

Evan asked curiously, "Can this medicine be taken orally?"

Hill grinned. "Drinking for others is no fun! Potions are more fun to drink yourself!"

Judging from Hill's appearance and expression, Evan knew.

For unknown reasons, Hill also went mad!

The next second, Hill picked up the Soul Shattering Potion and drank it without hesitation.

After Hill drank the Soul Shattering Potion, her body temperature began to drop rapidly, and it was clear that her soul power was rising rapidly.

At the same time, a large amount of frost condensed on Hill's entire body surface, and his heart even stopped beating.

However, in contrast to her frozen body, Hill's soul emerged from her body, as powerful as if it were a tangible entity.

Seeing this, Ivan instantly knew the potion's effects.

The positive effect is that it greatly enhances the strength of the soul, even elevating it to a substantial level.

The side effect could very well be that the body is completely frozen to death!

After Hill took the potion, she noticed that Sap on the other side didn't drink it immediately.

As if by magic, she casually waved her hand, and a bloated bronze corpse appeared out of thin air.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the bloated bronze corpse drank the potion directly, and then the muscles on the bronze corpse's body began to dissolve rapidly.

Seeing this, Hill grinned and laughed, "I knew you fat pig would cheat!"

"Fool, this isn't cheating!" Sap said smugly.

"These are employees forged from my own fat!"

"Her body composition belongs to me, and I even bought out all her years of service!"

"She is definitely a part of me!"

"So, if she drinks, it means I drink!"

At this moment, Hill's smile grew increasingly unrestrained.

Evan blinked, because he realized that this smile was becoming more and more like his own!

"Could this be—these are signs of a couple looking alike!?"

Then Sap proudly took out another bottle of potion and spun it over.

"you----"

Before Sap could finish speaking, everyone suddenly noticed that Sap's expression had turned ugly.

His originally pale face had turned a strange purplish-black.

Immediately afterwards, numerous ulcers and purple spots appeared on her skin — (I won't go into detail, as the scene after the Great Madam's servants drank her blood was reported for being too gory.)

Ivan covered his mouth and stared wide-eyed.

To outsiders, he appeared shocked and terrified.

However, beneath those large hands was a wildly upturned mouth.

Meanwhile, Evan discovered...

Hill then turned his head down and hugged it to his chest.

From Ivan's perspective, you could see that head was clearly frozen—

He's even laughing now!?
