After two hours of refining, the final result left Yang Xin greatly alarmed.

The Soul Gathering Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills, to which Purple Mist Grass had been added, indeed had their efficacy increased by over thirty percent, and the success rate of refining them was also fifty percent higher than usual.

This research achievement held extraordinary significance for alchemists! The reason Soul Gathering Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills couldn't be widely promoted was their low success rate, insufficient efficacy, and poor cost-effectiveness. Now that the success rate and efficacy had greatly improved, Soul Gathering Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills could be extensively promoted.

Although all the Purple Mist Grass in the City of Brilliance had been bought out, Purple Mist Grass had a three-year maturation period. Once large quantities of Purple Mist Grass were cultivated in three years, it would be of great significance to the entire City of Brilliance.

The City of Brilliance was under the threat of Demon Beasts. Mass production of Soul Gathering Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills could significantly increase the number of strong individuals in the City of Brilliance.

"Even though I know you want to make a profit, I'll let you earn it, considering the immense contribution you've made to the City of Brilliance and the Alchemist Guild!" Yang Xin's face showed a joyous expression. She knew this article must have been published by those who acquired the Purple Mist Grass.

The second use of Purple Mist Grass: mixed with five other common herbs, it could be used for bathing to nourish Soul Power?

Yang Xin pondered, then closed the door. Following the method described in the article, she mixed the various herbs, poured hot water into the wooden tub, and slowly untied her silk skirt, revealing her fair and alluring body. She had a hot figure, with proud breasts, exuding mature and captivating charm. She slowly stepped her ankles into the wooden tub.

The medicinal properties of the herbs seeped into her body. Yang Xin's skin flushed with a faint rosy hue, becoming smooth and delicate, and her Soul Power was also nourished.

"The effect is very noticeable!" Yang Xin was shocked. She never imagined that this ordinary Purple Mist Grass possessed such wonderful uses. How much Purple Mist Grass had been burned by households in the past! Yang Xin felt pained just thinking about it!

After soaking for over an hour, until the medicinal properties in the tub were fully absorbed, Yang Xin stood up, wiped the water droplets from her body, put on her clothes, and walked out.

"Director Yang, what's wrong? You suddenly look much younger!" The men from the Alchemist Association's gazes fell upon Yang Xin and couldn't look away.

Yang Xin's skin was fair with a rosy undertone, smooth and lustrous, and breathtakingly beautiful.

The herbal bath concocted with Purple Mist Grass, in addition to nourishing Soul Power, also had the effect of nourishing the skin and beautifying it!

Yang Xin was secretly delighted. No woman would be unhappy about her own beauty. However, it was a pity that the three jin of Purple Mist Grass were quickly used up. Yang Xin quickly compiled these wonderful uses of Purple Mist Grass into a document and distributed it to every alchemist, noting that the first and second uses of Purple Mist Grass had been verified by her and were indeed effective. As for other uses, due to the lack of sufficient Purple Mist Grass, they could not yet be verified.

The entire Alchemist Guild was abuzz with the news of Purple Mist Grass's immense efficacy. Alchemists frantically scoured everywhere for Purple Mist Grass, even stripping the reserves from residents' homes, and began verifying its various uses.

Over sixty uses were verified one by one, without omission!

This news caused a huge sensation in the alchemy world.

Instantly, the price of Purple Mist Grass began to skyrocket. The economic value of Purple Mist Grass was immense, and there was no Purple Mist Grass left on the market.

The price of Purple Mist Grass rose from several jin per Spirit Coin to several Spirit Coins per jin, and then further to ten Spirit Coins per jin, increasing by a hundredfold. Some nobles even bought Purple Mist Grass for hundreds of Spirit Coins per jin. The skin-nourishing and beautifying effects of Purple Mist Grass drove noblewomen into a frenzy.

After all, Yang Xin was a living example! They didn't want their husbands to be snatched away by those flashy women outside!

Various farms and nurseries rushed to plant Purple Mist Grass. However, for the next three years, Purple Mist Grass in the City of Brilliance would be in extremely short supply.

Winged Dragon Family.

Xiao Ninger was diligently cultivating the technique Nie Li had given her when several servants rushed in.

"It's crazy, it's crazy! Miss, good news!"

"What news?" Xiao Ninger asked, puzzled.

A maidservant panted, "Miss, didn't you ask us to buy a lot of Purple Mist Grass before? Now the Purple Mist Grass outside has risen to tens, even hundreds of Spirit Coins per jin. And it's said that the Sacred Family is offering three hundred Spirit Coins per jin for one hundred jin of Purple Mist Grass!"

Xiao Ninger was astonished. Then she thought about it and understood. These things must have been done by Nie Li. Besides Nie Li, who else could have such a Midas touch? Thinking of Nie Li, her cheeks couldn't help but flush. At this moment, that figure had already become unforgettable in the young girl's heart.

School Library.

Du Ze and Lu Piao were dumbfounded by the astonishing surge in the price of Purple Mist Grass. Nie Li had hundreds of thousands of jin of Purple Mist Grass in his possession!

Even if it could be sold for an average of dozens of Spirit Coins per jin, that would be nearly ten million Spirit Coins. Moreover, some noble families had already offered prices of one hundred or even several hundred Spirit Coins per jin. How much money was that?

The thought of this number alone was dizzying! In such a short period, Nie Li had amassed wealth equivalent to what an ordinary noble family could accumulate over decades!

With so many Spirit Coins, they would have a vast amount of cultivation resources!

Nie Li smiled faintly. This was just the beginning of his plan! Nie Li visited several pharmacies and slowly began to sell his stock. He sold over ten thousand jin of Purple Mist Grass at three hundred Spirit Coins per jin. Those who could afford to buy Purple Mist Grass at this price were mostly nobles, especially noblewomen.

In one go, Nie Li raked in a full three million Spirit Coins. However, he probably wouldn't be able to sell it at such a high price from now on, as market absorption was limited. Nie Li planned to gradually lower the price and sell it bit by bit.

In the library.

"This is for you!" Nie Li threw some superior Soul Gathering Pills and superior Spirit Nurturing Pills to Du Ze, Lu Piao, and the others.

A single superior Soul Gathering Pill or superior Spirit Nurturing Pill could fetch over six thousand Spirit Coins!

Each of the six people received ten pills, totaling over thirty thousand Spirit Coins!

Even some noble scions wouldn't dare to be this extravagant!

Upon learning that each pill was worth over six thousand Spirit Coins, Du Ze, Lu Piao, and the others' hands trembled as they took the pills.

"Hurry up and cultivate. Tonight, take some Purple Mist Grass to bathe and nourish your Soul Power!" Nie Li said with a slight smile. Having earned this sum, as long as they didn't buy expensive weapons or armor, they wouldn't lack money for a while.

Nie Li sat down cross-legged, opened his mouth, and swallowed a Soul Gathering Pill. He felt a stream of warmth rising from his abdomen, slowly flowing into his Soul Sea, which continued to expand.

Streams of Soul Power surged within the Soul Sea. Although they appeared as scattered clouds, through introspection, Nie Li felt as if something was hidden within his Soul Sea, and a surging tide of Soul Power was raging.

Gradually, a faint cyan glow began to emanate from Nie Li's body.

The medicinal properties of the Soul Gathering Pill were very potent. For ordinary people, absorbing one-tenth of it would be very effective. However, Nie Li cultivated the Heavenly Dao Divine Art, which allowed him to absorb all the medicinal properties of the Soul Gathering Pill into his body. Nie Li felt his Soul Power increasing very noticeably and rapidly.

After absorbing one Soul Gathering Pill, Nie Li's Soul Power increased from 32 to 51. This effect was simply astonishing. Next, he still had to digest the remaining five pills!

As Nie Li was cultivating, with a boom, a cyan light flashed beside him. Du Ze had stepped into the Bronze level before them, becoming a Bronze 1-star Demon Spirit Master.

Three hours later, Lu Piao also advanced to Bronze 1-star.

Compared to the cultivation techniques Du Ze and Lu Piao practiced, the Heavenly Dao Divine Art was not an aggressive, rapid advancement type of technique, but it excelled in building a solid foundation, promising extraordinary future achievements.

"Bronze 1-star, that's great!" Du Ze clenched his fists tightly. The increase in his cultivation made him feel invigorated, and his future was filled with hope. He looked gratefully at Nie Li; all of this was thanks to Nie Li!

Lu Piao was also very excited. Now that he had reached the Bronze 1-star Realm, his old man would have no reason to beat him when he returned home!

They suddenly felt full of anticipation for the test in two months. What realm could they cultivate to in two months? Even if Nie Li cultivated a little slower, breaking through to Bronze 1-star would be a piece of cake, and he might even reach a higher realm.

Shen Yue and his group probably never imagined that Du Ze and Lu Piao, whom they considered trash, would reach Bronze 1-star before them, and in just a few short days!

As evening fell.

On the first floor of the library, Nie Li saw Ye Ziyun again. Ye Ziyun was sitting at a table reading a book, but she seemed a bit distracted. She was wearing a white dress, and her delicate face was like that of a beautiful angel.

Nie Li strolled towards Ye Ziyun.

Shen Yue and the others appeared in a corner of the library. He saw this scene, his eyes chilling terribly.

"Boss Shen Yue, this kid seems to be dating Miss Ye Ziyun! Miss Ye Ziyun seems to be waiting for him here specifically!" said a teenager in cyan clothes, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although they were older than Shen Yue, they all listened to him because Shen Yue was a disciple of the Sacred Family, and his family background was better than theirs. They listened to Shen Yue and received a lot of money from him each month. When they grew up, they would become Shen Yue's Martial Artist attendants!

Three Bronze 1-star Martial Artists and three Bronze 2-star Martial Artists. As Martial Artists, their best choice was to pledge allegiance to noble Demon Spirit Masters.

Shen Yue snorted coldly, furious. In terms of family background, in terms of talent, in what way was he inferior to Nie Li? When he pursued Ye Ziyun, she ignored him, yet she inexplicably paid special attention to Nie Li. This made him so jealous he was going mad.

If it were a girl from a commoner family, Shen Yue could have obtained her with a few tricks. However, Ye Ziyun had a very strong background, and he dared not act rashly.

"Boss, should we give this kid a warning?" the Martial Artists asked.

"Mmm," Shen Yue nodded. Although he had suffered a loss at Nie Li's hands last time, he still didn't know how he had lost. "This kid has some tricks. Let's find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. This matter must be done secretly, and Ye Ziyun must not know!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Yue's eyes. He said, "It's best to make that kid suffer some internal injuries, so no one can tell, and no one can know it was done by someone from the Sacred Family!"
