South Sea City, a fine drizzle was falling.
A woman walked into Li Yang's pharmacy.
Li Yang lifted his gaze:
"What do you need?"
The woman looked very nervous and asked tentatively:
"Do you sell medicine here?"
Li Yang glanced at the medicine cabinets filling the room and looked at the woman again as if she were a fool.
The woman realized her question was silly and quickly added:
"I want to buy beauty medicine. I heard your medicine is... magical!"
Li Yang looked at the woman in surprise:
"My medicine is expensive. Are you prepared to pay the price?"
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She knew she had come to the right place.
She quickly removed her mask, revealing a large red birthmark, and said earnestly:
"As long as I become beautiful, I can earn a lot of money!
No matter the cost, I'm willing to pay!"
Li Yang closed the book and gave the woman a serious look:
"Wait a moment, have a seat over there."
.....
Li Yang walked into the potion room.
On the table was a black jar. He gently touched the jar, his thoughts swirling.
This black jar had been purchased a month ago, by chance, from a scavenger.
When he touched the jar, profound information appeared in his mind.
[Desire Magic Jar: The jar can devour desires and create Desire Potions.]
[Desire Potion: Drink the Desire Potion, and your desire will be fulfilled.]
[Detail One: Only the strongest desires can create Desire Potions.]
[Detail Two: The owner of the magic jar consumes spiritual power when collecting and creating Desire Potions.]
[Detail Three: The owner of the magic jar is the master of all potion takers and can cause them immense pain at any time.]
After his initial shock, Li Yang quickly realized this was his chance to break free from the shackles of society's bottom.
He immediately began to explore the abilities of the [Desire Magic Jar].
His first test subject was his cat.
The cat was extraordinary; her desires were surprisingly fit for making [Desire Potions]!
Who knows why a cat would have such strong desires.
After drinking the [Desire Potion], the cat magically transformed into a human.
Or rather, it should be said she transformed into a demon — a [Black Witch].
According to legend, witches excel at casting terrible curses using black cats.
If one day, a black cat consumed a witch's heart, it would become an even more terrifying Black Witch.
Li Yang's pet cat thus turned into the legendary Black Witch.
Initially, the cat, having turned into a Black Witch, wanted to eat Li Yang.
The Desire Magic Jar's another power activated:
The owner of the magic jar is the master of potion takers and can cause them immense pain at any time.
Later, Li Yang asked the submissive [Black Witch] what her desire was.
The [Black Witch] said she thought humans were stupid and wanted to become the most terrifying human.
Such peculiar desires for a beast.
Li Yang sought to understand the effects of the [Desire Potion] thoroughly.
This thing would be the key to his rise to the top of life.
Thus, he did not plan to limit experimentation to animals alone.
The [Black Witch] became useful.
In various ways, she sought out humans with 'intense desires' and selected suitable candidates, luring them into the pharmacy.
That woman was one chosen by the [Black Witch].
...
Li Yang came out of the potion room holding a bowl of potion, and the woman looked expectantly.
Li Yang said:
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, let me confirm once more.
Are you really willing to pay any price to become beautiful?"
The woman firmly nodded.
As long as she removed the birthmark and became beautiful, she could sign with a big guild, gain a million loyal fans, and completely escape poverty.
By then, she would be wealthy; what cost couldn't she afford?
Li Yang nodded, handing the bowl of potion to the woman and returning to the counter to read.
The woman took the potion, her eyes immediately drawn to it.
The inky black potion, like the gaze of the abyss, seemed to have a magical power making it impossible for her to look away, compelling her to drink it immediately!
Without delay, the woman tilted her head back and swallowed the potion in a gulp.
The unbelievable miracle occurred.
The birthmark on the woman's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The entire face became fair and tender, with even more delicate features.
And this was just the beginning!
Zhang Shi'ai's body was also transforming.
Her chest and hips seemed to undergo secondary development, her waist became slimmer, and her legs grew more shapely and long.
A perfect face, an alluring figure!
She gazed in shock at her reflection in the mirror.
This face was more beautiful than any beauty filter could make it!
This figure, a perfect S-curve, was invincible!
Her ID is South Sea Jin Meiting, originally intended to rival the Korean manhwa character Jin Meiting, but now she...
Jin Meiting is nothing!
She gradually became enamored with her own beauty, forgetting even to consider whether this magical potion might have side effects!
However!
A sudden change occurred!
To her horror, she found her pupils gradually turning into pink hearts, and a pair of ram's horns grew from her head!
A purple glow emanated from her lower abdomen, forming mysterious magic tattoos.
Behind her, a black tail wriggled out from under her short skirt, the end of the tail was a black heart!
Mysterious extraordinary power brewed within her, emitting a mesmerizing fragrance from her body, a scent with an intoxicating force causing one's blood to surge!
"Ah!!!!!"
The woman screamed in terror, looking at Li Yang in horror:
"What have you done to me?!"
Li Yang frowned, his reading disturbed:
"Didn't you say you were willing to pay any price?"
The woman's eyes widened, her mind fully consumed by fear, and she started to run towards the door.
Li Yang watched the woman's frantic silhouette with dissatisfaction.
An enchanting demon, running out onto the street without removing the demon state?
Is she afraid she won't have trouble, or am I afraid I won't have trouble?
Black runes gradually surfaced in Li Yang's eyes, and the woman stopped abruptly at the door.
She felt a new transformation happening within her at that moment.
She looked at her hands, aging, like withered branches.
She hurriedly glanced in the mirror.
The face that had just turned exceptionally beautiful was now growing deep wrinkles, and age spots quickly spread.
"No, no! I don't want to become like this!"
She harbored a powerful desire to become beautiful and sexy; becoming old and ugly was her most unacceptable reality, she'd rather die!
The woman pleaded:
"Forgive my impudence.
I just started streaming and have no money.
Consider me owing you ten million!
No, more than ten million!
Besides ten million, half of all future streaming earnings are yours, okay?
I'll give you whatever you want!"
Her voice was also growing old, devoid of any beauty.
Li Yang lowered his head:
"Your soul is now enslaved to me, this is the price of the potion."
