Li Mu held the Purple Cloud Vine and admired it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the happier he became. With such a rare and precious material, his cultivation and improvement were much more assured.

The rarity of Purple Cloud Vine lies not in its ability to be used to refine any particular elixir, but in its versatility as a universal medicinal herb, even more practical than Mushroom.

Purple Cloud Vine can be combined with the formulas of most elixirs. The greatest benefit of adding Purple Cloud Vine is to enhance the grade of the elixir.

In other words, if you are originally capable of refining a low-grade first-rank elixir, adding the Purple Cloud Vine can upgrade it to a medium-grade or higher elixir, or even surpass that grade and become a second-rank elixir.

Then the thousand-year-old Purple Cloud Vine is a treasure of another level. If it is combined with several medicinal herbs that can change spiritual roots, it can purify spiritual roots after consumption. What does that mean?

Spiritual roots are the starting point of cultivation, and the starting point basically determines the height of cultivation. If one can purify spiritual roots, it is a way to indirectly increase the speed and height of cultivation.

"Li Mu, do you want these few he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) roots?" Liang Xiao asked, seeing Li Mu staring blankly at the medicinal herbs.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I'll take this one, I don't need the others..." Li Mu waved the Purple Cloud Vine in his hand, but before he could finish speaking, Liang Xiao objected.

"Ah! Just this? No, no, you have to take more, otherwise I'll feel bad. There are also some ginseng and lingzhi here, although they're not very old, they're definitely wild."

Liang Xiao opened another cabinet and took out a sealed box to show Li Mu.

When Li Mu heard Liang Xiao say no, he thought she was unwilling to give him the Purple Cloud Vine. It turned out she felt that what she wanted was too little.

"Alright, I'll take a look some more, and we'll let you know if I need anything."

Li Mu found it hard to refuse their hospitality, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: could he teach the two sisters how to refine medicine? With their talent in medicine, if he could provide them with some guidance and formulas, their achievements would be limitless.

.

While Liang Xiao was still playfully showing Li Mu what she considered to be precious medicinal herbs one by one, Liang Huan had already prepared the meal.

"You should eat first, we'll have plenty of time to talk later," Liang Huan said, a smile on her face as she called them over to eat.

In the suite where Li Mu first came, there were four small dishes on the small dining table, and the three of them began to eat.

Li Mu picked up the bowl, and two pairs of chopsticks kept piling food onto his plate. Looking at the two simple, two-faced sisters, Li Mu decided to refine a batch of beauty pills for them.

They've just had their birthmark removed and are currently overjoyed, not yet feeling that there's anything wrong with having a two-tone face. But soon they'll realize they're still being looked at like monsters, and over time, that sense of inferiority will only intensify.

It will only get better after six months or a year, once both sides of the face are symmetrical. What Li Mu wants to do now is to shorten the time they are discriminated against and let the two of them be completely free from that prejudice.

The two sisters are not tall, less than 1.6 meters. Judging from their appearance alone, they are both beauties, the kind of delicate and charming girls.

As long as they can overcome their inner demons, both of them will live a perfect life, both in terms of work and personal life.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I'd like to have some medicinal soup brewed here. I wonder if it will be too much trouble for you?" Li Mu asked, scratching his head after finishing his meal.

Previously, in order to securely obtain the Purple Cloud Vine, I called her Sister Xiaoxiao, but now it's difficult to change my address.

“Li Mu, are you going to brew medicine? You’ve come to the right place, all the equipment is here. Is there any medicinal herb you need purified? You can leave it to me, I’m a professional, you know. As for brewing the medicine, leave it to your sister, that’s her specialty,” Liang Xiao interjected.

.

Li Mu wrote a prescription for the two sisters to improve their beauty, with ginseng as the main ingredient, supplemented by saffron, angelica, and more than ten other medicinal herbs.

At the same time, he would also add a small amount of purple cloud vine, and then use his unique pill-collecting technique, believing that the beauty pill he refined would have a very significant effect.

Before, I stood there idly for ages, but now I have to use up the Purple Cloud Vine. What a waste!

The purple cloud vine looks relatively intact, but its tail end and roots are damaged. This medicine is more precious than ginseng, and it is difficult to grow it intact without the help of a celestial being.

If it is not used, its medicinal value will decrease every day, and it will become just an ordinary purple cloud vine in less than a year.

In addition to refining the Beauty Pill, Li Mu will also refine a super version of the Qi-replenishing Pill with the addition of Purple Cloud Vine, a Life-enhancing Pill to improve cultivation, and a Rejuvenating Pill to repair injuries. All of these pills will be prepared with the addition of Purple Cloud Vine.

Finally, some fasting pills need to be refined.

Liang Xiao had previously shown Li Mu the pharmacy's inventory, and all the necessary medicinal materials were available. Li Mu also needed to add bitter thorn fruit to refine the Qi-replenishing pills and the Life-giving pills, so he brought a few with him on this trip.

Since Li Hongjun and Cheng Yishi broke through to the next level after taking the Qi-boosting pills, Li Mu analyzed that ginseng and mushrooms shouldn't have such a significant effect on the pill formula. The most suspicious thing is this bitter thorn fruit. It seems that this bitter thorn fruit is not simple.

After Li Mu assembled all the pill formulas, he went to the medicine storeroom and found that only Liang Huan was cleaning the medicinal materials, while Liang Xiao had already taken the beauty pill formula to purify it.

Li Mu arrived at the medicine-decocting room behind the laboratory and saw Liang Xiao intently decocting some medicinal herbs.

There are many ways to purify medicinal materials. Western medicine uses reagents for purification, while traditional Chinese medicine generally uses decoction and pressing. Li Mu uses decoction plus spiritual energy separation for purification. In Li Mu's view, the Western medicine reagent purification method is not suitable for the refining of elixirs.

Purely boiling and pressing wastes medicinal materials. Currently, the best method is to purify them using one's own methods. Once Li Mu's strength reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, boiling can be omitted. He can directly heat the herbs with spiritual fire and then separate them with spiritual energy to maximize the utilization of the medicinal materials.

.

Two hours later, with the cooperation of Liang Xiao and Liang Huan, all the medicinal herbs that needed purification were prepared, and they began to brew the medicine. They brewed two pots at a time, one pot specially made for the two sisters, or rather, specially made for women. The other pot was suitable for everyone, including men.

During the purification and decoction process, Li Mu only occasionally chimed in and didn't get involved; the two sisters did all the work, and they were very professional.

Liang Huan was in charge of brewing the medicinal soup, and Liang Xiao, having freed up her hands, went to the storeroom to help Li Mu prepare the medicinal herbs, leaving Li Mu as a hands-off manager.

After Liang Xiao finished preparing the medicine, Li Mu finally had something to do, because he was making his own pills, and he had to purify several of the medicinal ingredients himself.

In no time, all seven or eight stoves in the medicine-decocting room were running, creating a spectacular scene.

Four or five hours later, Li Mu and Liang Xiao were still not finished with the purification work, while Liang Huan's beauty pill soup had become very thick and ready to be made into pills.

Li Mu took over, made a hand gesture, and recited the pill-making incantation. He was about to add sticky powder to the medicine pot to divide the pill when the liquid in the pot automatically divided into twelve equal parts. Was the pill about to be formed?

Li Mu dared not delay and quickly poured a large amount of spiritual energy into the medicine jar.

The spiritual energy quickly evaporated the remaining moisture in the jar. As Li Mu infused the pill-gathering incantation, the medicinal liquid automatically gathered into pills. With a casual flick of his wrist, twelve pills swiftly flew into the prepared jade box.

"This is..." The two sisters were stunned by Li Mu's amazing actions. Liang Xiao was about to speak when Liang Huan covered her mouth.

A new situation arose, and Li Mu had no time to spare. He went straight to the second pot of medicine, infused it with spiritual energy in advance to help the water evaporate, and then infused it with the pill-making incantation. The pill was formed on its own, and the pill-collecting incantation was used to send the pill flying into another jade box.

"Hey!! We've finally refined something good."

After collecting the two batches of pills, Li Mu was both nervous and excited, but at the same time, he also felt regretful, regretting the thousand-year-old Purple Cloud Vine.

I never expected this surprise to come so suddenly. The ordinary pills I was going to refine actually turned into pills of a higher grade after adding the thousand-year-old Purple Cloud Vine. There were twelve full pills in total. I have to rename the Beauty Pills I just refined to Beauty Pills.
