At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

[Ding! The "Strong Wind Dantian Construction Method" has been equipped!]

The familiar tremor in his dantian returned once more.

Streams of true energy surged forth from the depths of his dantian.

It was still a low-grade true qi, transparent and ethereal like a thin mist, but Mu Yang clearly sensed something different compared to ordinary attribute-less true qi.

"It seems lighter than ordinary true qi, so this is the 'Strong Wind True Qi'..."

Mu Yang carefully observed and discovered the differences.

The "Powerful Wind Dantian Construction Method" is a rare dantian construction method that can impart true qi attributes.

Just as the true qi cultivated by the "Breath Earth Source Dantian Construction Method" is more substantial and can enhance defense, the "Strong Wind Dantian Construction Method" also has its own unique features.

The powerful internal energy is better suited to movement-based martial arts, making the user faster and more agile.

I wonder what will happen when the strong wind true qi encounters the mid-grade true qi in his dantian.

Thinking it over, Mu Yang continued to observe intently.

The lighter, more agile true qi, upon contact with the rich and dense mid-grade true qi, behaved just like the low-grade true qi provided by the previous "Primordial Qi Dantian Construction Method".

It was quickly wrapped and compressed.

Until its size shrank by nearly half, the sense of lightness disappeared, and it was assimilated into a wisp of shrunken mid-grade true energy.

But Mu Yang was not disappointed.

The moment the first wisp of true energy was assimilated, Mu Yang suddenly had a sudden realization.

He felt as if he had mastered two kinds of true energy at the same time.

One type is the neutral, mid-grade true qi within his dantian, and the other is the gust of wind true qi.

As long as he has a thought, his attribute-less true qi will automatically transform into strong wind true qi, and its quality will remain at the middle grade.

The effect is even better than the powerful internal energy from before.

"I see. After equipping the Dantian Construction Method with attributes, the true qi is still mainly based on the Dantian true qi attribute condensed by the Vast Great Dantian Construction Method, but it can be converted in a second if you want to."

Mu Yang understood immediately.

Although his true energy seems to have no attributes, he can change its attributes in an instant whenever he needs it.

Transform the neutral-attribute mid-grade true qi into a powerful mid-grade true qi without any loss.

Not only does the power enhancement effect remain unchanged, but it also gains an additional acceleration effect from the gust of true qi.

"No wonder the Dantian construction method with attributes is more expensive. True Qi with additional effects is indeed stronger than true Qi without attributes," Mu Yang thought to himself.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Once true qi has attributes, although it becomes stronger in some aspects, it will also have more weaknesses.

For example, the "Strong Wind True Qi" has a better enhancement effect on movement-based martial arts, but it is less effective for practicing external martial arts.

Conversely, using earth-attribute true qi to power up horizontal martial arts results in better defensive effects, but it falls short when powering up movement-based martial arts.

Since attribute-free true qi has no bias, it has neither an advantage nor a disadvantage against any martial art, making it more universally applicable.

As for Muyang?

He has it all!

With the ability to transform true qi with a single thought, he can use the strong wind true qi to propel his movements, and he can also use the earth breath true qi to propel his external training.

As long as he has enough Dantian construction techniques, he will always be in an advantageous position.

"We need to develop more dantian construction methods that include elemental attributes!"

With this in mind, Mu Yang took out another book, "The Method of Constructing the Wood Source Dantian".

"Equip the 'Wood Source Dantian Construction Method'!"

[Ding! The "Wood Source Dantian Construction Method" has been equipped!]

The Wood Origin True Qi, carrying a faint vitality, surged out from the dantian.

If the characteristic of the powerful wind true qi is lightness.

The Wood Source True Qi is gentle and warm.

Like the grass after a spring rain, it carries a faint yet vigorous vitality.

In an instant, Mu Yang understood the advantages of the Wood Source True Qi.

Restoration and vitality!

Wood Source True Qi is like a healing pill; as long as there is enough, injuries can be healed instantly.

Just as Mu Yang was carefully comprehending the situation, the surging Wood Source True Qi, just like the strong wind True Qi from before, was completely enveloped and compressed by the mid-grade True Qi in his dantian.

Ultimately, they tend to assimilate.

With the equipment of the two Dantian construction methods, Mu Yang's true energy in his Dantian also reached the limit of breakthrough.

Three thousand strands of true energy, like raindrops, continuously seeped into the dantian barrier.

As the last wisp of true energy merged in, Mu Yang's dantian suddenly expanded.

Late stage of Qi Condensation Realm, achieved!

Mu Yang internally observed his dantian and found that its volume had more than doubled.

The upper limit was successfully expanded from 2000 strands to 5000 strands, which is five times that of an ordinary late-stage Qi Condensation Realm martial artist.

However, unlike the last time when he still had excess true qi after his breakthrough, this time his dantian was completely empty.

"It's no wonder that Qi Condensation Realm martial artists need to go into seclusion for a long time after each breakthrough. The feeling of emptiness in the dantian is indeed uncomfortable."

Muyang Secret Passage.

In terms of physique, a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist is not much stronger than a Blood Marrow Realm martial artist.

The main difference between the two is the change in energy quality.

A Qi Condensation Realm martial artist who has lost their true Qi will have less than one-tenth of their strength.

Each breakthrough for a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist will completely deplete their internal Qi.

Without precious medicines or qi-tonifying pills, the process of condensing the essence is time-consuming and laborious.

Fortunately, none of this has anything to do with Mu Yang.

He casually took out the last book on dantian construction.

[Ding! The Pure Yuan Dantian Construction Method has been equipped!]

In an instant, five hundred strands of mid-grade true qi appeared in Mu Yang's dantian.

At this point, three pieces of equipment have been installed in the five available equipment slots.

Considering that one of them needs to be reserved for Crimson Blood Ganoderma +1, there is currently only one empty slot left.

As for which item to equip in this empty slot?

Mu Yang had naturally planned ahead.

......

[Equipable Item: Donkey Demon Corpse (Complete)]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

Equipment Effect:

①Strong Physique (Blue): Physique is greatly improved (physical strength, total stamina, and reaction speed are all improved).

② Abundant Qi and Blood (Blue): The total amount of Qi and blood has been greatly increased.

③ Dragon's Essence and Tiger's Ferocity (Blue): Strengthens the foundation and nourishes kidney yang, significantly boosting energy and accelerating recovery from fatigue.

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for 100 days, or slay any fourth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

......

The stats for the fourth-tier donkey demon are almost identical to those for the third-tier donkey demon that Mu Yang had equipped before.

Considering that this monster appeared in Sujiazhuang, Mu Yang had reason to suspect that the two donkey demons were related.

He decided to do a good deed and let them reunite in the equipment slot.

"Equipment, donkey demon corpse."

[Ding! The donkey demon corpse has been equipped!]

Like a raging flood, his vital energy surged forth from nothing, coursing through Mu Yang's limbs and bones.

Ultimately, it all flowed into the dantian, transforming into strands of pure, mid-grade true qi.

Five hundred strands, seven hundred strands, one thousand strands...

Until his qi and blood were exhausted, Mu Yang's dantian was almost half full.

At the same time, Mu Yang's power is also surging.

With another 30,000 jin increase in strength, the strength of his single arm reached an astonishing 150,000 jin!

The "Dragon Spirit and Tiger Might" entry also made Mu Yang's kidneys even stronger, and his surging energy was enough to support him in battle for days and nights.

Mu Yang even felt that his physical activity had been enhanced.

Combined with the Wood Source True Qi and Healing Pills, it has already shown initial signs of rapid self-healing.

Of course, these are not the main attractions.

What Mu Yang is most looking forward to is still the transformation of the quality of his true qi.

The effect of mid-grade true qi is twice that of low-grade true qi, and the effect of high-grade true qi is twice that of mid-grade true qi.

Furthermore, the transformation of the quality of true qi will increase the effect of attribute true qi.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone, achieving two goals with one effort!

"Two thousand strands of mid-grade true qi, I wonder how much high-grade true qi they can be converted into."

Thinking it over, Mu Yang placed the enhanced Crimson Blood Spirit Mushroom in his palm.

"Equipment: Crimson Blood Spirit Mushroom (+1)!"
