After some thought, Zhou Mu added the remaining 0.4 attribute points to the Vajra Longevity Art in one go.
Although it did not increase his proficiency, it still increased his lifespan and body.
He couldn't give up eating because of choking. If he didn't increase his proficiency, he would abandon the essentials and chase after the trifles. He wouldn't even want to die.
However, something that stunned Zhou Mu happened.
The proficiency of the Vajra Longevity Art had only increased by four points, from 12/500 to 16/500.
He had expected this.
His stamina and energy had increased by 0.5 each, becoming 7.9/8.4.
However, the most important thing was that his lifespan had increased from 305 days to 311 days.
It only increased his lifespan by six days.
Just like his proficiency, it had dropped by more than 90%.
"How did it become like this?"
He was originally looking forward to it. If he continued to cultivate at his previous rate, he would probably be able to increase his lifespan by a hundred years in less than a year.
" Stamina and energy are clearly still increasing, but lifespan and proficiency have plummeted one after another. It's almost impossible to increase."
Zhou Mu was puzzled.
However, whether it was the attribute panel or the cultivation path, he was just a novice who had just entered the basics. He could not see the reason at all.
.........
After lunch, Zhou Mu began to search for information online.
However, his question was a little difficult to explain. There was a vast amount of information on the Internet.
It would be difficult to find any useful information for him in a short period of time.
He spent the entire afternoon searching for information on countless websites.
In the end, he accidentally saw two words: Strong inside and strong outside.
Zhou Mu was stunned.
He knew what that meant.
After all, what he cultivated was the Internal Strengthening Technique. The recipe of the Dragon Official Wandering Immortal Soup also explained this.
His current body had also reached the state of internal strengthening.
" Full of inner strength, blood like a stream."
Internal strength was qi.
Then what did it mean to be strong?
He did a search and found that there was no explanation of the meaning of inner strength on the Internet.
However, he found a related question in the Tieba.
"Fellow Daoists, what does it mean to be strong on the outside? What's the difference between it and a strong inner body?"
"External strength refers to muscle strength. The form that appears on the outside, such as lifting heavy objects, etc.”
"The previous poster is not accurate. External Strength is not only about flesh and skin, but also includes the twelve major tendons and muscles.”
"There is a mutual influence between the strong exterior and the strong interior. To make an analogy, there were originally various channels and meridians buried in the body. When people ate grains and grains, they would be affected by wind, cold, fire, and dampness. These channels and meridians would often be blocked. Practicing internal energy was equivalent to the process of opening up the channels and meridians. Practicing external strength was to strengthen the external structure of the channels such as the bone, flesh, and fascia. The thicker and sturdier the bone, flesh, and fascia, the stronger the pressure resistance and bearing capacity of the channels and meridians.”
“...............”
After Zhou Mu read the answer, he suddenly realized something.
"No wonder martial arts novels usually talk about internal training. So that's what it means to train your bones and muscles."
He could roughly guess why his proficiency and lifespan could not be increased.
If he wasn't mistaken, the qi in his body was too thick, but because his flesh, bones, and tendons were too weak, they couldn't withstand more qi.
As a result, he was unable to take another step forward.
If he forcefully increased his cultivation, his qi and lifespan would probably continue to increase slowly.
However, the more he trained, the thinner his meridians would become.
It might explode from his qi.
"This is just my guess. Whether it is true or not, I still need to verify it further."
Zhou Mu looked at the time. It was getting late. He stopped thinking and started preparing dinner.
Since he had already found the reason why his lifespan and proficiency could not increase, there was no need to be too hasty.
Now that he had experienced life and death, Zhou Mu felt that there was an extraordinary calmness in the depths of his heart.
Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes and he was not shocked. Other than life and death, it was nothing.
For dinner, he stewed a carp soup and added a dish of braised beef with potatoes. It was already very rich for one person.
After dinner, Zhou Mu strolled around while planning in his mind.
There was no doubt that if he wanted to continue improving the Vajra Longevity Art, he had to make himself look strong.
Simply put, it was exercise and fitness.
For example, running, skipping rope, parallel bars, dumbbells, and barbells were the most basic and effective exercises.
While doing these basic exercises, he could also practice martial arts in order to train his bones, muscles, and fascia at a deeper level.
His body was too old and weak, and his life was in danger, so he had never practiced martial arts.
Now that his physical fitness had recovered quite well, he could start to practice external strengthening.
"Bright Force!"
Zhou Mu still remembered the martial arts realm he had learned before.
The phrase 'a thousand gold can't buy a sound' left an extremely deep impression on him.
He was still very curious.
Could one really reach such a realm by practicing martial arts?
