[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully helped the important character " Tang San " make an important choice. New system feature: Item Enhancement Function is now available!]
After returning to her resting place, Qi Ling received a notification from the system. She hadn't expected that after showing off at the Clear Sky Sect, she would actually activate a new function of the system.
While Tang San was still participating in the ceremony of recognizing his ancestors, Qi Ling opened the system and checked the new " Item Enhancement Function ".
After further understanding how to use this function, Qi Ling directly activated the system, and then a huge boiler-like thing appeared in front of him.
This thing looks very ancient, yet it is full of a strange sense of technology. On the huge furnace body, many pipes extend from inside, seemingly using some kind of inexplicable power.
" System Enhancer, Function: Enhances items, increasing their level and effects, and can even produce unexpectedly powerful results."
Qi Ling read the description of this thing, then looked at the huge furnace and muttered to herself, "Your previous owner wasn't named Kiri, was she? I wouldn't dare use it!"
Fortunately, the system description states that even if the enhancement fails, the item will not be damaged, and it will still have some effect.
"Alright, what should I enhance first?" Qi Ling said enthusiastically, "Let's enhance this one!"
As Qi Ling spoke, she took out the Xuanyuan Sword from her spatial storage! Who wouldn't upgrade their own weapon first? She'd be wielding a +17 dazzling Xuanyuan Sword, killing anyone who stood in her way—how cool would that be!
However, Qi Ling's idea was destined to remain just a fantasy. When he placed the Xuanyuan Sword on top of the enhancer, the system prompted. "The current item is God Level item and cannot be enhanced!"
"Sigh? That's so useless! You can't even handle the divine artifact?" Qi Ling said dejectedly. "Then what about these two things? You can't do anything about them either?"
As Qi Ling spoke, she took out the Sword of Rupture and the Immortal-Binding Rope and placed them on the enhancer. Sure enough, the system prompted again. "The current item is God Level item and cannot be enhanced."
In the end, Qi Ling abandoned such a crazy idea and decided to start with the basics. So he took out a handful of hemostatic herbs and placed one of them on the surface.
"Ding! The current item is Hemostatic Grass, quality: Common. It can be enhanced. Please collect the following materials to enhance it: Common quality Hemostatic Grass."
Based on Qi Ling's experience so far, the herbs in this world can be roughly divided into seven levels: common, high-grade, rare, precious, spiritual herbs, immortal herbs, and divine herbs.
Divine herbs are basically non-existent in this world, with the Yin-Yang Harmony Life and Death Lotus obtained by Qi Ling being the only exception.
So, in general, the Immortal Herb has reached the pinnacle of quality among all herbs in this world. Even though there are differences in quality among Immortal Herb, they are all within a certain range.
Now, Qi Ling placed another ordinary hemostatic herb on the enhancer, and then threw another ordinary-quality hemostatic herb into the furnace.
"Materials filled confirmed. Item enhancement will now begin. 100% success rate. Effect: Normal..."
"Ding! Enhancement successful. Your hemostatic herb's effect has been improved. Current quality: Common level. Enhancement level +1. Two more successful enhancements will further improve the item's quality."
Without hesitation, Qi Ling threw in two more hemostatic herbs. After a series of vibrations, the enhancer successfully enhanced the hemostatic herbs.
"Ding! Enhancement successful. Your hemostatic herb's effect and quality have been improved. Current quality: High-grade. To continue enhancing, please collect the following materials: High-grade hemostatic herb."
High-quality hemostatic herbs look no different from other herbs, except that their medicinal fragrance is stronger, and Qi Ling can also sense that their effects are also enhanced.
To further enhance it, you need to use the same high-grade hemostatic herb. Therefore, you need to enhance other ordinary hemostatic herbs to obtain enhancement materials.
Rather than strengthening, Qi Ling felt that synthesis was a more appropriate term. The more times low-level herbs were synthesized into high-level herbs, the better the effect of the herbs became.
Anyway, Qi Ling had many more of these common hemostatic herbs in her space, since they were the most common type of herb and had no real value.
So Qi Ling followed the previous procedure, enhanced five more high-grade hemostatic herbs, and then confidently put them all in. Five enhancements should surely raise its quality by another level, right?
"Ding! Congratulations! Enhancement successful. Your Hemostatic Herb's effect and quality have been improved. Current quality: Rare. To enhance again, please collect the following materials: Rare Quality Hemostatic Herb."
To obtain one high-grade hemostatic herb, you need to consume four ordinary hemostatic herbs. To obtain one rare hemostatic herb, you need to consume six high-grade hemostatic herbs. In other words, to obtain one rare hemostatic herb, you need to consume twenty-four ordinary hemostatic herbs.
However, if you want to continue upgrading, the amount of materials required will undoubtedly become increasingly enormous! As for which method is more cost-effective, further consideration is still needed.
After all, the herbs that could originally cure twenty-four people can now only save one. If the desired results cannot be achieved, it will definitely be a loss.
"Then, I wonder how many materials would be needed to upgrade it to a rare quality?" Qi Ling asked, deeply curious.
Ultimately, after trying various methods, Qi Ling concluded that it would take ten attempts to upgrade a rare-quality herb to the rarity level, requiring a total of eleven rare-quality herbs in total, including the cost itself.
Converted to ordinary quality herbs, a total of 264 herbs would be needed, which, even if they are not valuable, would still be a considerable expense.
At this point, Qi Ling had no further plans to strengthen the herb, as he had run out of hemostatic herbs.
The hemostatic herb, which has been upgraded to a rare and precious quality, not only has a greener appearance, but also a fragrant aroma and a faint spiritual aura emanating from it.
This herb is already quite valuable in itself, but as Qi Ling looked at the hemostatic herb in her hand, she thought: Besides being a medicinal herb, this thing should also be able to enhance other things, right?
So next, Qi Ling took out all sorts of things she had and started experimenting. Whether it was iron ore, wood, talismans, or props, they could all be placed here for enhancement and upgrade!
What pleased Qi Ling the most was that he upgraded all the B-grade talismans on his body to A-grade, and his previously lackluster abilities were also enhanced.
After all enhancements are completed, Qi Ling will possess the following number of talismans: 2 Grade A Thousand-Li Divine Escape Talisman, 3 Grade A Great Strength Vajra Talisman, 2 Grade A Fierce God Talisman, and 3 Grade A Unbreakable Divine Shield Talisman.
And after gaining some experience in strengthening and figuring out its patterns, Qi Ling began to set his sights on what could be considered the most valuable thing on his body: the Soul Bone!
