System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

After Chen Xuan entered the secluded meditation room, his second primordial spirit leisurely strolled out of the room.

With a gentle flip of his hand, Chen Xuan revealed several secret manuals, including the "Soul-Shattering Technique," the "Lightning-Fast Step," and the "Northern Sea Classic," a Qi-refining method of the immortal realm. These manuals flew steadily toward his second primordial spirit like agile birds.

Since this second primordial spirit can only practice Qi refining techniques, while only the original body can cultivate divine power, there is no need to entrust the "Law of Heaven and Earth" for the divine and demonic body refining technique to it.

The original Chen Xuan and the second primordial spirit Chen Xuan share the same thoughts, are in perfect harmony, and are inseparable.

Having acquired these three techniques, his second primordial spirit did not linger. He turned around and went straight back to his quiet residence, preparing to devote himself to studying them.

At this moment, Chen Xuan, the true form of himself, sat steadily cross-legged on the Bagua Cold Jade Platform, and took out a treasure gourd and a pile of bottles and jars of various shapes with his backhand.

He had already thoroughly mastered the cultivation methods of the "Classic of the Northern Seas," and now was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to switch to the cultivation method of Qi and expand his Purple Mansion a second time.

Chen Xuan lowered his eyes to look at the bottles and jars placed on the jade platform and murmured, "Crimson Bright Divine Body, Azure Lotus Root Meridians, Azure Lotus Purple Mansion, how much Origin Liquid will be needed for this second expansion of the Purple Mansion?"

When Chen Xuan first entered Qingtian City, he met Qingtian Xiaolou, and they went to Wanbao Mountain for a banquet together, but were forced to participate in a gambling match.

That very night, unable to bear seeing his friend being bullied, he personally joined the fight and, by chance, earned nearly two thousand catties of Origin Liquid.

After joining the sect, under the pretext of rescuing Qing Tian Yu'er, Qing Tian Hou generously sent 10,000 catties of Origin Liquid, a pair of top-quality human-rank lightning wings, and a puppet with strength comparable to a primordial spirit.

Chen Xuan had already made arrangements for the puppet, having Qing Tian Xiao Lou secretly send it to Qushan and hand it over to Elder Long. Later, Chen Xuan displayed his skills in the Hall of Proving the Dao, and after a fierce battle, he earned nearly two hundred catties of Origin Liquid.

By this calculation, Chen Xuan's accumulated wealth includes a full 12,000 jin of Origin Liquid alone, not to mention other rare and precious items.

"Twelve thousand jin, hopefully it will be enough to support me in successfully completing the second expansion of my Purple Mansion." Chen Xuan murmured to himself, slowly closing his eyes and beginning to concentrate and regulate his breathing.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Xuan's energy and spirit had already reached their peak.

In an instant, a wondrous scene unfolded around him, with swirling mist and a dense, oppressive Yin energy spreading out like a dream.

The Classic of the Northern Seas truly lives up to its reputation as a high-grade Qi-refining method. Once activated, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth is drawn to it, automatically condensing into this strange atmosphere. I had never experienced such a wondrous feeling when I cultivated the Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals in the past.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the jade bottle gourd in front of him, which contained a large amount of source liquid.

With a flick of his sleeve, a series of muffled thuds rang out as all the bottle corks flew out.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan aimed at one of the jade bottles and took a deep breath. Whoosh—in an instant, streams of blue, viscous liquid rushed into Chen Xuan's mouth like a torrent of water.

It's important to understand that the reason why Origin Liquid and Spirit Liquid are so precious is that they are used during closed-door breakthroughs, as they can greatly shorten the long time it takes for cultivators to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own.

Simply by entering the mouth, it can quickly merge with one's own spiritual power and become one with it.

This is also a major reason why many ancient demons who have cultivated for thousands of years have seen their cultivation stagnate.

Relying solely on absorbing and refining the meager spiritual energy of heaven and earth within twelve hours each day is woefully inadequate compared to the vast amount of spiritual energy required to break through to a higher realm; it is far too time-consuming.

If Chen Xuan hadn't accumulated over ten thousand catties of Origin Liquid, relying solely on his physical aptitude to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and expand his Purple Mansion space through sheer hard work, it would have been impossible for him to break through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refining and Mansion Opening Realm without more than a decade of arduous effort.
