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

This shows just how important cultivation resources are to cultivators.

With each inhale and swallow, Chen Xuan instantly ingested dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of Origin Liquid.

Then, these original liquids transformed into pure spiritual energy, which surged and flowed along the eight extraordinary meridians, eventually converging and merging in the dantian.

"Continue!" Chen Xuan shouted. In just a few breaths, he was able to convert such a large amount of source liquid into his own spiritual power. This exhilarating feeling was intoxicating to the cultivator.

"Suck—" Chen Xuan exerted his strength again, and whoosh—this time, three streams of source liquid water rushed straight into his mouth.

In fact, the reason he was so cautious when he first took it was because he didn't know the limits of his own body's tolerance.

However, with the first sip of source liquid successfully refined, Chen Xuan felt more confident and anticipated that dealing with the three streams of source liquid should be quite easy.

As he expected, with one gulp, he swallowed nearly 300 pounds of the source liquid.

As a large amount of source liquid surged into his body, rushing along the eight extraordinary meridians towards his dantian, even without deliberately looking inward, Chen Xuan could keenly sense that the lake in his dantian was expanding wildly in all directions with the help of the miraculous power of the immortal-level Qi refining method, the "North Sea Classic".

Before expanding his Purple Mansion, Chen Xuan's Purple Mansion Lake area was nearly nine hundred miles in size.

At this moment, with the continuous injection of hundreds of kilograms of source liquid, this space is rapidly expanding at a visible speed.

Within the Purple Mansion Lake, the water rippled gently, yet the nine graceful blue lotuses swaying in the center of the lake seemed detached from the scene, completely unaffected.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but with the continuous infusion of massive amounts of source liquid, the scale of Chen Xuan's Purple Mansion Lake has undergone earth-shattering changes, and it has now acquired the majestic momentum of the Purple Mansion Sea.

During this time, Chen Xuan also focused his mind and looked inward several times, carefully observing every change in the Purple Mansion.

At this moment, the area of ​​his Purple Mansion Lake has expanded to a radius of three thousand miles. In less than an hour, it has expanded more than three times compared to the original size, and its depth is nearly twice as deep.

It is important to know that the size and depth of the Purple Mansion are the fundamental foundation for a cultivator's future achievements.

The shallow and narrow Purple Mansion is extremely weak in terms of both combat endurance and the number of times it can unleash supernatural powers and secret techniques.

Conversely, if one possesses a vast and deep Purple Mansion Lake, in fierce battles, whether in terms of prolonged combat or frequent use of supernatural powers and secret techniques, one can easily crush those cultivators with shallow Purple Mansions.

This is the key significance of the second expansion of the Purple Mansion. Whether one becomes just another ordinary person and turns into cannon fodder on the path of cultivation, or stands out and becomes a hero, largely depends on this stage.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about his Purple Mansion, Chen Xuan was completely relieved and continued to enjoy the source liquid.

"Three thousand catties of source liquid."

"Five thousand catties!"

"Seven thousand catties!"

When the amount of source liquid absorbed reached seven thousand catties, Chen Xuan slowed down slightly. He brought up the system panel in his mind, checked it, and was secretly delighted: "After consuming seven thousand catties of source liquid, I have finally successfully expanded my Purple Mansion for the second time. My strength in the early stage of Qi Refining and Opening Mansion Realm has also broken through to the middle stage."

Upon closer inspection, Chen Xuan keenly realized that his Purple Mansion Lake was far from reaching its limit and still had considerable room for expansion.

Now, he was no longer a clueless novice who had just embarked on the path of cultivation. After understanding the underlying logic of the expansion of the Purple Mansion and its far-reaching impact, he instantly realized that the fact that his Purple Mansion was still not saturated after absorbing seven thousand catties of source liquid in one go was probably due to his special physique and the nine mysterious green lotuses within the Purple Mansion.

"It's just ten thousand catties of Origin Liquid, isn't it?" Chen Xuan's lips curled up into a confident smile as he took another deep breath and sucked hard at the gourd on the ground. "I'd like to see just how far you can go."

"Eight thousand catties of Origin Liquid, my Qi Refining cultivation has already broken through to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. My Purple Mansion Realm has not yet reached its limit!" Chen Xuan looked inward for a moment, then inhaled several more mouthfuls of Origin Liquid.

"With 10,000 catties of Origin Liquid, the expansion rate of the Purple Mansion Lake has slowed down significantly, but it can still expand."

"Suck!"

"11,000 catties of source liquid, Qi Refining cultivation has reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Purple Mansion Lake is 6,000 miles in circumference and 3,700 miles deep. At this moment, I finally feel that expansion is becoming increasingly difficult."

The so-called limit is not the pain signal transmitted by the body, but the subtle feeling of perfection that wells up in Chen Xuan's heart as the master of his body.

Whoosh—As the water mist and Yin energy surrounding Chen Xuan gradually dissipated, the real Chen Xuan finally slowly opened his eyes.

He did some quick calculations and was surprised to realize that from the start of his seclusion to expand his Purple Mansion until now, only three hours had passed.

With the second expansion of the Purple Mansion successfully completed, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

To expand the Purple Mansion Lake to such an astonishing size and depth at the Opening Mansion stage is something that very few people in the cultivation world can achieve.

"Now, I, Chen Xuan, have laid a solid foundation for becoming a Celestial Immortal through my own unremitting efforts." Chen Xuan couldn't hide his smile as he murmured, "Panel."

Whoosh—as soon as he finished speaking, a system panel that only he could see slowly appeared before his eyes.
