"I wonder if the enhancement cap for attribute quality increases after upgrading to tier six."

Mu Yang opened the panel and took out four pieces of air-dried pork with a +2 enhancement from his sleeve pocket.

Each one was enhanced by him a long time ago.

Because there was never any space in the equipment inventory, these dried pork pieces had been gathering dust in the sleeve pocket.

Soon, Mu Yang placed four pieces of air-dried pork with +2 enhancement into the enhancement slot.

..................

[Ding! The current quality of the main item being enhanced has reached its limit and cannot be enhanced further!]

..................

"The maximum quality is still purple...?"

Mu Yang murmured to himself.

For a third-tier corpse, the maximum enhancement quality is blue. After breaking through to the fourth tier, the maximum enhancement quality reaches purple, and it remains purple at the sixth tier.

"It seems that the next quality level will be unlocked at level seven."

Mu Yang secretly guessed.

If that's the case, it means that the quality enhancement increases by one level every three tiers.

"Let's try again when it reaches level seven."

Mu Yang muttered to himself, but just as he was about to turn off the panel, he was suddenly drawn to a subtle change at the edge of the panel.

"Um?"

Upon closer inspection, Mu Yang noticed a small, dark arrow that had appeared in the upper right corner of the panel.

He was quite certain that this thing hadn't existed before.

So, on a whim, he clicked the arrow.

The ink-wash style reinforced panel resembles the turning pages of a book; with each ripple, the panel's appearance changes instantly.

The enhancement panel originally consisted of four square enhancement slots, with the main enhancement slot at the top and the other three material enhancement slots arranged in a row directly below the main enhancement slot.

Now, it has become three identical circular bars, arranged in a triangular shape at the top of the panel.

Mu Yang tried putting in the +2 enhanced dried pork, but there was no reaction.

"What exactly is this function?"

Mu Yang stared at the three circular railings in front of him with a puzzled look.

Under Mu Yang's watchful gaze, after a few breaths, an even smaller ink-colored panel quietly appeared on one of the circular railings.

..................

[Non-level entry:]

[Muscle Growth (White): A slight increase in strength.]

[Muscle Growth (Blue): A slight increase in strength.]

[.........]

[First-level term:]

[Perfect (White): The Tiger-Taming Saber Technique has reached the Perfect level of proficiency.]

[Sword Skill Affinity (White): Slightly increases affinity for sword-based martial arts, accelerating the learning speed of sword-based martial arts.]

[...]

..................

One term after another appeared on the panel.

The densely packed entries, arranged neatly according to their rank, came into Mu Yang's view.

These entries all share a common characteristic: they have all been permanently fixed.

"So, this is the term enhancement section?"

Driven by curiosity, Mu Yang tried selecting "Muscle Growth (White)" from the non-tiered entries.

He then did the same thing again, looking at the other two circular bars. After the panel appeared, he selected the remaining "Muscle Growth (White)".

..................

[Ding! Detected that the host has selected [Non-Ranked Muscle Growth (White)], [Non-Ranked Muscle Growth (White)], and [Non-Ranked Muscle Growth (White)] as enhancement materials. Please select one as the main enhancement material!]

..................

"It really is a keyword enhancement section."

Mu Yang's eyes lit up, and he then chose the muscle growth entry at the top as the main subject.

..................

[Ding! Detected that the main body's rank is unranked, and the affix quality is white; the material's rank is unranked, and the affix quality is white. The enhancement conditions are met; the main body's affix quality will be upgraded!]

..................

The next second, two of the white entries weathered away together, turning into tiny, pale white particles that gathered in another circular enhancement bar.

As a blue light flashed, a new entry appeared.

..................

[Ding! The main attribute - Muscle Growth (White) enhancement is complete, and the attribute quality has been improved!]

[Muscle growth (white) → Muscle growth (blue)]

..................

[Muscle Growth (Blue): Strength receives a slight increase.]

..................

An extremely faint warm current flashed through Mu Yang's body.

If it weren't for his enhanced spiritual power and sharpened senses, he probably wouldn't have noticed this subtle change.

"I see. The effect is similar to the equipment enhancement slot, except that it has changed from a four-in-one to a three-in-one, and the main body of the effect has changed from equipment to fixed attributes."

Mu Yang concluded.

It's hard to say which of the two functions is better.

After all, the objects they affect are different.

The advantage of the equipment enhancement slot is its convenience; as long as you have enough resources, you can enhance your equipment anytime, anywhere.

The downside is that some resources will be lost.

The advantage of the affix enhancement slot is that there is no loss, and it can transform the already solidified affixes again. Unlike enhancing equipment, you don't have to gamble on luck and worry about the enhancement going wrong.

The downside is that you can only choose to strengthen pre-defined terms, which is relatively time-consuming.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"In that case, we can solidify some useless terms and use them specifically to strengthen the terms that have already been solidified," Mu Yang thought to himself.

Often, the reason he agonizes over what items to equip during battle is because he's afraid of getting stuck with useless stats.

It's fine if it's just useless, but it's scary to encounter purely negative terms like "transvestite bloodline" or "zombie transformation".

Now, with the affix enhancement bar, even useless affixes can be turned into valuable ones.

Weapons and armor can also be equipped as materials for future attribute enhancements.

If we were to say which attribute Mu Yang most wants to strengthen...

That was, of course, the vast dantian he longed for.

..................

[Level 4 vocabulary:]

[...]

[Vast Dantian (Blue): Constructs a dantian five times the size of a martial artist of the same level. After construction, it significantly increases the speed of true qi condensation and greatly reduces the pressure on the meridians caused by an excessively large dantian.]

[...]

..................

At the time, because there weren't enough Tier 4 items available, the quality of the Vast Dantian could only regretfully remain at blue.

Now is the perfect time to strengthen it.

..................

[Ding! Detected that the host has selected [Tier 4 - Thick Shell (Blue)], [Tier 4 - Roaring Tiger (Blue)], and [Tier 4 - Vast Dantian (Blue)] as enhancement materials. Please select one as the main enhancement material!]

..................

The thick blue shell came from a fourth-tier turtle demon, and its defensive capabilities were useless against Mu Yang in his current state.

The Roar of the Tiger in the Forest comes from a fourth-tier tiger demon, and its effect is mediocre, not nearly as good as the Howling Soul, which is more concealed and has a better effect.

"Choose the vast dantian as the main body for strengthening."

As Mu Yang silently recited the words in his mind, two of the entries began to gradually weather and break apart.

A moment later, a flash of purple light appeared.

..................

[Ding! The main entry - Vast Dantian (Blue) has been enhanced, and the entry quality has been improved!]

[Vast Dantian (Blue) → Vast Dantian (Purple)]

..................

【Vast Dantian (Purple): Constructs a dantian twenty times the size of a martial artist of the same level (20,000 strands). After the dantian is constructed, it greatly increases the speed of true qi condensation and greatly reduces the meridian pressure caused by an excessively large dantian.】

..................

Upper limit of true qi in the main dantian: 37,000 strands → 52,000 strands.

At this point, including the true qi stored in the five major body acupoints, Mu Yang's true qi limit reached an astonishing 102,000 strands.

A full-scale outbreak would amount to 40.8 million jin (20.4 million kg).

"This vast dantian is truly amazing. It's only a fourth-tier attribute, yet it has increased the total amount of true qi by more than opening a single body acupoint."

Mu Yang was secretly amazed.

Unfortunately, he didn't have many useless affixes, otherwise he would have liked to enhance all the remaining affixes as well.

"We still have to kill the demons!"

Mu Yang sighed.

Only by slaying demons can you solidify attribute entries; only by solidifying attribute entries can you strengthen them; and only by strengthening them can you become stronger!

I hope to encounter more monsters on this journey.
