Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 21 What is External Strength?

【Name: Zhou Shen】

【Life: 352 days】

【Physical Strength: 8.6】

【Energy: 7.7】

[Cultivation method: Baduanjin Xiaocheng (11/200) Mastery of Longevity (2/500)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute point: 0.7]

Zhou Shen saw at a glance that the attribute points had soared by 0.7 points.

Naturally, I was overjoyed.

These days, he can only ingest at most about 0.5~0.6 attribute points from food every day, and he must practice exercises to stimulate them.

If you don't practice the natural growth method, he estimates that it will only be between 0.2 and 0.3 at most.

But unexpectedly, the attribute points have suddenly increased by 0.7 points.

"That Master Zhang didn't talk nonsense, the effect of this Sansu Yunfei Soup is simply too domineering!"

Of course, it's best to combine it with Daoyin to stimulate all the nutritional value in the soup.

"Let grandma call the dealer later and buy more!"

Zhou Shen said happily.

In addition to the attribute points, the life span has increased by 15 days, and it will soon break through one year.

Zhou Shen was naturally overjoyed again.

"Upgrading the formula of longevity really benefits a lot!"

You must know that when he performed the Longevity Jue [Xiaocheng] yesterday, he guided the qi flow to walk on the [Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian], [Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian] and [Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian], and his life expectancy was only increased by 3.6 days on average.

But this time, two meridians were operated at the same time, but the life span was increased by an average of 7.5 days, more than doubled.

"By the way, this is just the effect of guiding the inner energy to circulate on the two main meridians. If there is enough Qi flow in the body later, it will run five main meridians at one time, and if there are eight extra meridians, I don't know once. How much does performance increase longevity?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Shen really looked forward to another upgrade of the formula of longevity!
But when he saw the proficiency of the longevity formula below, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

"No! I guided Qi flow to walk the Spleen Meridian of Foot Taiyin yesterday, and my proficiency increased by 6 points. However, I walked the Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin and the Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin just now, and the experience points were only Added 1 point."

"How did this happen? Also in the morning, after I added points, the proficiency should be 7/500, but in the end it only increased by 1 point. Why?"

"According to previous experience, after the level is increased, the proficiency of the practice should also increase. Why not decrease but increase?"

Zhou Shen thought for a while, but he didn't think clearly about the reason?
Don't think about it at all, go back and study slowly, and you will always figure it out.

Anyway, life expectancy growth has not been affected for the time being.

As for stamina and energy, they are reduced by 0.5 respectively, this does not affect.

Zhou Shen has experience now, and he will be able to recover after a sleep tomorrow morning.

Then, for the sake of experimentation, he added 0.1 attribute points to the formula of longevity.

"what?"

和之前一样，长生诀的熟练度仅仅增加了1点，从2/500变成了3/500。

Seeing that the addition of 0.1 attribute points to it only increased the proficiency by 1 point, Zhou Shen frowned involuntarily.

Then he looked at the lifespan at the top, which suddenly increased by 10 days to 362 days.

But compared with before, it is still significantly lower.

On the contrary, physical strength and energy recovered by 0.2 respectively, but this is irrelevant.

For the experiment, Zhou Shen added all the remaining 0.6 attribute points to the formula of longevity.

Physical strength and energy not only recovered instantly, but also increased by 0.2 each, becoming 9.3/8.4,

With the overall improvement of physical attributes, his tired spirit seemed to be infused with a clear spring, and he instantly felt full of energy.

The attribute panel said before that normal ordinary people have 10 attribute points, but this "ordinary person" may not necessarily be ordinary.

In real life, how many people's attributes such as strength, endurance, speed, agility, vitality, thinking, consciousness, and emotions have all reached the full state?

Just like the average height of ordinary adult men in Huaguo is 1.7 meters, and the average height of women is 1.5 meters. How many people in reality have reached this average standard?

In this alone, many people fail to meet the standard.

If you add weight, measurements, IQ, EQ, health index, sports tests, etc., maybe 50% of people can't reach the level of "normal people".

To sum up, his physical strength and energy levels of 9.3 and 8.4 have definitely reached or even exceeded the standard among real ordinary people.

In other words, he can now be said to be a physically qualified person.

But at this moment, Zhou Shen didn't have any joyful expression on his face, instead he was surprised and surprised.

长生诀的熟练度竟然只增加了5点，从3/500，变成8/500。

This is not a big deal, what really surprised him was that his life span changed from 362 days to 1 year and 6 days.

In other words, 0.6 attribute points only increased the lifespan by 9 days.

Like the proficiency, it dropped by more than 95%.

"How did it become like this?"

He was originally full of joy and anticipation, because if he continued to cultivate at the previous growth rate, he would probably live to be a hundred years old in less than a year.

"Why? Why can't lifespan and proficiency increase?"

"Physical strength and energy are still growing, what's the reason?"

After being dazed, Zhou Shen thought quickly in his brain, why did his lifespan stop increasing?

But as a novice in cultivation, he didn't have a thorough understanding of the attribute panel, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of the reason.

……

After lunch, Zhou Shen didn't even take a nap, and began to read medical books and classics.

However, there are so many medical books and classics that it is difficult to find the answer in a short while, so he searched online.

For a whole afternoon, I searched countless websites and found two words: [inner strong] and [outer strong].

Zhou Shen couldn't help but froze for a moment.

He knows what it means to be strong, and he belongs to the situation of strong internally now, "full of internal strength, blood like a stream".

Don't know what "outside strong" means?
So he went to search on Qiandu.

There is no Qiandu Qianke on Qiandu, but there are related questions in it.

A bar friend asked: "What exactly does it mean to be strong outside? What is the relationship with strong inside?"

There are many answers below.

"External strength refers to muscle strength, which is manifested on the outside, such as lifting heavy objects."

"What the upstairs said is not accurate. Outer strength is not just the flesh and skin, but also includes the twelve major tendons, which can be used to strengthen the tendons and membranes."

"The relationship between external strength and internal strength is mutual influence. Let me make a metaphor: there are various channels and meridians buried in the body. Humans eat whole grains and are exposed to wind, cold and fire. These channels and meridians are often blocked, and practicing internal strength is equivalent. In the process of opening up channels and meridians, training external strength is to strengthen the outer structure of the channels, such as the fascia of bones and muscles, the thicker and stronger the fascia of bones and collaterals, the stronger the pressure resistance and bearing capacity of the channels and collaterals in the channels."

"..."

After Zhou Shen read the answer, he suddenly realized.

"It's no wonder that in martial arts novels, the muscles and fascia of the inner master's temples are all raised, so that's how it is!"

He probably guessed why his lifespan and proficiency could not be increased!
Not surprisingly, it should be that his body is full of internal strength, but because the fascia of flesh and blood is too fragile to carry too much internal strength, he cannot go any further.

If he is forced to practice more, his inner strength and life expectancy will continue to grow slowly, but the channels and meridians will definitely become thinner and thinner. Maybe he will be burst by inner strength and become the first one to die from a burst of tendons" Insider master!"
Of course, all this is his conjecture.

Whether it is true or not requires further verification!
