Zhou Shen sighed for a moment, then thought of something and immediately opened the properties panel.

[Name: Zhou Shen]

【Life:119 days】

[Stamina: 7]

[Energy: 5.9]

[Kung Fu: Baduanjin for Beginners (51/100) Immortality Technique for Beginners (95/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute points: 0.2]

He saw the attribute point 0.2 at first glance, and couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

“I can finally upgrade!”

He took two deep breaths, and his mood quickly calmed down.

Although I haven't achieved any great results in my health-preserving skills in the past two days, I have made great progress in controlling my emotions.

Then he checked the other attribute values.

The life span is 1 day lower than the number before going to bed last night, and the natural life span is reduced.

In addition, physical strength and energy are the same as yesterday, each reduced by 0.1.

He now knows that the data of life span, physical strength and energy are not fixed. If you are too tired, your physical strength and energy will decrease.

Physical strength and energy will indirectly affect life span.

As for how big the impact will be, there is too little time and there is not much data for reference yet, but based on his experience in the past two days, there will definitely be an impact.

Putting the messy thoughts in his mind behind him, he added 0.1 attribute points to "The Secret of Immortality".

In the next second, the Immortality Art went from beginner (95/100) to Immortality Art (5/200).

At the same time, Zhou Shen immediately felt an indescribable heat rising from the soles of his feet and rushing toward his internal organs, limbs, and brain.

Wherever the hot flow went, it felt very comfortable, and Zhou Shen couldn't help but moan.

"Wow, it's so comfortable!"

This feeling lasted for about two seconds, and then disappeared without a trace, like a dream bubble.

After Zhou Shen came back to his senses, he couldn't help but blush. That voice made him so ashamed.

But he knew that what had just happened was definitely not an illusion, but a real feeling of comfort coming from the soul, as if he had returned to his mother's body.

"But the time is too short!"

Then he looked at the properties panel.

[Name: Zhou Shen]

【Life:149 days】

[Stamina: 7.3]

[Energy: 6.2]

[Exercise: Baduanjin Beginner (51/100) Immortality Secret (5/200)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute points: 0.1]

"Wow!"

When he saw that his life span suddenly increased by 30 days, Zhou Shen couldn't help but exclaimed.

The physical strength and energy below also suddenly increased by 0.3, which surprised him even more.

He had guessed before that there would be a surprise when he broke through the small realm, but he didn't expect the surprise to be so big, and his life span suddenly increased by one month.

The increase in his lifespan means that his physical fitness in other aspects has been greatly enhanced.

Zhou Shen couldn't help but laugh happily.

"This is just the first breakthrough. After a small success, there should be a big success. I wonder how much my life span will increase by then?"

He had great expectations in his heart.

After his mood slowly calmed down, he was about to experience the changes after the upgrade of the Immortality Secret, when suddenly there was a burning feeling in his stomach, as if he had been hungry for several meals.

"I didn't eat much last night, and I drink a bag of pure milk every night before going to bed. I don't feel particularly hungry at all. What's going on now?"

Unfortunately, before he could think about it, a burning feeling of hunger in his belly urged him to eat quickly.

Zhou Shen got up and got dressed immediately, but when he got down to the ground, his limbs felt weak, especially like the time when he first started dating his girlfriend.

He quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, and came downstairs.

The little old lady has already cooked pumpkin and millet porridge and is frying pumpkin pancakes. There are also freshly boiled grass eggs, salted duck eggs, celery and soybeans on the table.

Of course, pickled cucumbers are also indispensable.

Seeing Zhou Shen coming downstairs, grandma smiled and said, "Get up, breakfast will be ready soon. You sit down first, grandma will serve it to you later."

"No need, I'll serve it myself!"

Zhou Shen couldn't wait any longer, so he filled a bowl of pumpkin porridge in a small stainless steel basin, then picked up another small stainless steel basin and poured it back and forth, quickly cooling down the steaming pumpkin porridge.

He suppressed the hunger in his belly and chewed slowly.

Although his health has improved a lot, he has no intention of changing his good habits.

Pick up the boiled egg and peel off the light yellow egg shell to reveal the white and tender egg white inside.

Take a bite and hold some loose egg yolk in your mouth, chewing it will make your mouth full of flavor!

I don’t know why, but the hard-boiled eggs in the city don’t taste good at all and taste like chewing gum.

Even the so-called pasture-raised eggs sold in supermarkets taste much worse than the pasture-raised eggs in rural areas.

Although experts say that the nutritional value of both is the same, he just doesn't like eating it.

I wonder if there is any technology or hard work inside the eggs?

…

Zhou Shen drank two bowls of pumpkin porridge, two eggs, and two pieces of pumpkin cake, and then suppressed the burning hunger in his belly.

It was as if there was always a small water pump in his stomach, constantly pumping away the food he had eaten and the nutrients in it.

"Why are you so hungry? Does it mean that upgrading skills requires a lot of energy?"

He only thought of this possibility.

Otherwise, it would be unexplainable to have a sudden feeling of hunger, and it happens to be just after upgrading the Secret of Immortality.

"This is the first time this phenomenon has occurred. Will we know when we upgrade next time? If this situation still occurs, it means that the upgrade will indeed absorb energy from the body."

"But next time you must prepare food in advance, so as not to faint from hunger again like today."

The hunger was suppressed, but Zhou Shen felt that his stomach was still empty, so he drank another bowl of pumpkin porridge, ate an egg, and a piece of pumpkin pie.

The little old lady was frightened. When she saw that his hand was about to reach for the remaining egg in the bowl, she quickly stopped her and said, "Don't eat too much. If you overeat, go out and walk around first to eliminate the food."

"Oh, okay!"

Zhou Shen put down his chopsticks with some unfinished thoughts.

He felt that he could make two more bowls of pumpkin porridge, plus two pancakes and eggs.

But grandma is right. Although his life span has been extended by one month, his body has not recovered yet, and the cancer cells have not disappeared. He should not be too careless.

"Let's upgrade to another level. Then we won't have to live as cautiously as now!"

He stood up and went out for a walk.

I habitually come to the small bamboo forest in the west.

That Taoist priest Zhang was practicing round piles there, rain or shine.

Each move has an indescribable charm and feels very comfortable.

Zhou Shen watched for two minutes as usual, then turned around and prepared to go home.

He has already seen that what Zhang Daozhang is practicing is the Xingyi Round Pump, but compared with the round pile found on the Internet, the changes in moves are more subtle and natural.

To put it simply: it looks similar but not similar in spirit.

But he had just taken two steps when a cry suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhou Shen stopped, turned around and saw that Daozhang Zhang had finished his work and was standing there looking at him.

"Did you call me?"

"Well, come here."
