After careful consideration and repeated deliberation, Liu Changxu and his wives decided that the People's Welfare Office, a dedicated institution, would take full responsibility for managing all matters concerning the immortal dynasty's mortals. Without pausing, they began discussing their greatest challenge: how to manage cultivators effectively.
Across the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, the makeup of its cultivators was quite complex. They could broadly be divided into three categories: rogue cultivators, lineage cultivators, and sect cultivators. Each had distinct characteristics and faced very different circumstances.
