I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

The corner of Gu Qinghan's mouth twitched.

"How on earth did you bring these herbs back?" he asked in confusion.

Before leaving this morning, he took a special peek through the gap in the curtains to confirm that Catalina was still standing guard downstairs.

In other words, Lianna successfully smuggled these herbs back under Catalina's surveillance.

How exactly is this done?

With a faint smile, Lianna's lips slightly raised, outlining a mysterious arc.

"I can only say that this is a woman's secret."

She walked over gently and stood beside Gu Qinghan. She placed a slender jade hand on his waist and whispered into his ear:

"Of course, if the master wants to know, I can tell you, okay?"

"As long as you're not shy."

The gentle and seductive breath gently caressed Gu Qinghan's earlobes, causing his back to tense up.

"It's still not necessary."

Gu Qinghan quickly waved his hand and said.

Although he didn't know how Lianna did it, seeing that there was some unknown sticky and transparent liquid on the herbs, he felt that it was not appropriate to ask more questions at this time.

All in all, it’s good that I got the medicine successfully.

After sending Lianna home and making sure that Catalina didn't notice their actions, he carefully closed the door tightly.

Gu Qinghan took two steps at a time and turned back to the alchemy table.

For the next whole day, he would start to refine the medicine.

By next Monday, Gu Qinghan must be fully prepared to hypnotize Lina.

If something goes wrong, it will lead to extremely disastrous consequences.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.

The black curtains were closed tightly, and although the sun was shining brightly outside, the room seemed very dark inside.

Outside the window, the wind is howling.

This is a desperate situation with no room for retreat, but it is often at times like this that people will seize the most inconspicuous light.

When he opened his eyes again, Gu Qinghan's expression had become extremely solemn.

Refining begins.

The first thing is naturally the basic hypnotic powder.

After the last incident, Gu Qinghan discovered that the hypnotic powder was very effective and was an indispensable treasure as a basic hypnosis prop.

Gu Qinghan planned to make a few more potions in case of emergency.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. The early morning sun gradually became hotter, and the cicadas outside the window kept chirping, which seemed particularly noisy.

When Gu Qinghan came to his senses, waste herbs piled up on the corners of the table, and the entire alchemy table looked messy.

Ten portions of hypnotic powder were prepared.

Gu Qinghan looked at the huge amount of white medicine powder and clenched his fists secretly.

This was his first step to hypnotize Lina.

However, it is impossible to rely entirely on this white medicinal powder.

The reason is simple, hypnotic drugs have serious side effects.

The reason why I was able to fool Catalina last time was because the person who took the drug was Lianna.

Although Lianna's character was distorted, it was difficult to detect in Catalina's eyes.

In Catalina's eyes, Lianna was distorted from the very beginning.

So, there is no problem even if it is distorted.

But this time it was very different.

Catalina and Lina are familiar with each other, and if Lina's personality shows any abnormality, Catalina will notice it immediately.

By then, Gu Qinghan's plan would be completely exposed and would not be able to move forward at all.

Therefore, other means are needed to ensure that Lina is successfully hypnotized.

For example - a more powerful potion.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qinghan temporarily stopped the refining work at hand and turned to look at the bookshelf that he had not paid attention to for a long time.

On the far left side of the second shelf of the bookshelf, in that inconspicuous corner, lies a thick gray-black notebook.

The Secret of Hypnosis.

When he opened the book for the first time, Gu Qinghan could clearly feel its unusualness.

Just by flipping through a few pages, you can clearly feel your physical strength quickly draining away, like a deflated ball.

By the time I turned to the last few pages, I was sweating profusely and feeling dizzy.

This time, Gu Qinghan was confident that he could turn a few more pages.

After all, since he started refining medicine, the total amount of magic power in his body has increased greatly, enough to deal with many things.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qinghan stretched out his right hand tremblingly and gently placed it on the surface of the book cover which was covered with old lines.

Without any hesitation, Gu Qinghan began to flip through the pages quickly—

"Hey, the fiancée next door is so pretty...", "I only need 200 copper coins to...", "There's a hole in his wall, I have to go through..."

Gu Qinghan had a blank expression on his face. He quickly skimmed through the unimportant pages, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The torture was over quickly, and when Gu Qinghan's fingertips touched the gray paper, his physical strength began to rapidly drain away.

From here on, the main content begins.

Gu Qinghan kept moving his hands, skipping over the parts he was already familiar with. Prescriptions were quickly skipped and he soon turned to the last page he was familiar with.

Gu Qinghan gritted his teeth and turned to the next page——

[Soul Hypnosis Potion]

A name that had never been seen before appeared at the top of the thick book.

A drop of sweat trickled down Gu Qinghan's cheek, but a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes.

that's it!

[The Great Hypnotist] Hohenheim, as a battle-hardened villain, will naturally face various difficulties in being captured.

He must have realized the limitations of the hypnotic powder a long time ago, so he made targeted improvements to the prescription.

With a nervous mood, Gu Qinghan continued to move his gaze downwards, looking at the detailed notes of the new drug——

[Soul Hypnosis Potion]

Production Difficulty: LV.3

Ingredients: hypnotic powder, saline solution, a heart of a mind demon, and the remains of the burning magic core of the mind demon.

Preparation method: ① Dissolve the hypnotic powder in saline solution, fill it into the heart of the mind demon, and freeze it for two days.

② After the medicine has absorbed the essence of the heart, dissolve the remaining residue from the burning magic core of the inner demon into it, and the product is complete.

[Note]: This drug is an improved version of hypnotic powder. It only controls the inner soul of the subject and has no effect on physical reactions. It has no side effects such as distorted personality.

【Note】: After the medicine absorbs the essence of the heart, it will become flammable, please use it with caution.

[Note]: The success rate of oral hypnosis with this drug is only 30%. After soaking in warm water for more than one hour, the success rate can reach 70%; if injected intravenously, the success rate can reach 120%.

Gu Qinghan looked at the densely packed handwriting and read every word carefully, fearing that he would misunderstand the true meaning due to over-excitement.

But obviously, he was not wrong.

This is exactly the potion he needs most!

It only controls the mind, but has no effect on the body's nervous system.

As expected of Hohenheim, he can actually produce such high-level medicine!

No.

I should say that I am worthy of being myself. Gu Qinghan couldn't help but smile faintly and complained secretly.

Chapter 12 Soul Hypnotic Potion

Although Gu Qinghan is still not sure whether he is Hohenheim.

But since we have come this far, let me praise myself first.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan looked at the detailed production method of [Soul Hypnosis Potion] again and quickly scanned it.

There are four kinds of medicinal materials required for the new prescription.

Among them, the first one is hypnotic powder, which has been prepared in advance and does not need to be made separately.

The second and third types were saline solution and the demon core of the inner demon, which were also purchased in advance by Lianna.

The only thing that was not prepared was the heart of the inner demon.

It can be said that Gu Qinghan’s advance prediction accuracy is quite high.

Considering Hohenheim's deep understanding of hypnotic magic, he would definitely make improvements to the side effects of the hypnotic drug and adopt a more covert hypnotic method.

The only one who can satisfy this requirement is the inner demon.

There is no other creature that has no body but only will. No other magical beast is more suitable as a medicine inducer.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Qinghan was able to make the correct prediction in advance.

The Psychic Demon is a very special kind of demon. Because it is invisible and cannot be detected, and only attacks humans, it is often mistaken for a ghost.

In order to make an improved hypnotic potion, the magic core of the inner demon is essential.

But what Gu Qinghan didn't expect was that the new hypnotic potion not only required its magic core, but also the heart of the mind demon...

what is that?

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

The inner demon has no form, so where does the heart come from?

The so-called magic core is simply the result of the magic energy gradually condensing and accumulating in the body after parasitizing the human body.

Looking at the scribbled handwriting on the pages, Gu Qinghan was in a dilemma.

After much thought, Gu Qinghan could only guess at one possibility.

The "heart of the demon of the mind" that Hohenheim wrote about does not refer to the heart of the demon.

It is the human heart that is possessed by the demon of the mind after death.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan's expression gradually became gloomy.

If this is the case, I'm afraid it would be difficult to obtain this medicinal material through normal means and channels.

All he could do was go to the invincible Miss Lianna and ask for help.

……

Late at night, birds and insects chirp.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Gu Qinghan made sure that there was no one around, then went out and gently knocked on her door.

Gu Qinghan is now very familiar with it and no longer feels that it is shameful to date the girl next door.

What a happy and sad story.

Boom boom boom!

"Miss Lianna, please go to these places tonight. Maybe you can find the corresponding things."

With a creak, the door quietly opened a crack, and Gu Qinghan quickly passed over a small note.
