After setting his household's conduct in order, Liu Changxu entered the Artifact Refining Room. This time, he intended to refine Tribulation-Transcending Pearls, defensive spirit treasures that would help his wives Huang Yuyao and Huang Yuqiang undergo tribulation transcendence.
Since he was thoroughly familiar with refining spirit treasures of this kind, Liu Changxu took only half a year to produce twelve Tribulation-Transcending Pearls. Six for each woman would be enough to see them through their tribulations.
After receiving the Tribulation-Transcending Pearls from their husband, the sisters Huang Yuyao and Huang Yuqiang entered their cave abodes and began secluded cultivation to break through to the Mahayana Realm.
Liu Changxu had specially prepared these two cave abodes for their seclusion and tribulation transcendence, not far from Ascending Immortal Peak.
After arranging for the two women to enter seclusion, Liu Changxu finally had some leisure. Though reports of the Blood God Cult committing atrocities through blood sacrifices surfaced from time to time, he had no desire to stir himself unless the cult provoked him first.
His leisure was only relative, however. In truth, he still had several urgent difficulties to resolve.
First came the problem of his cultivation method. The Red Lotus Immortal Scripture he practiced could take him only as far as Mahayana Completion, so after advancing to Taiyi Golden Immortal, he had no cultivation method to follow.
There were generally four ways to resolve this difficulty. The first was to join an immensely powerful sect and obtain the necessary cultivation method from it; the second was to purchase one at a high-end auction or from someone else; the third was to explore secret realms and perilous lands in search of one; and the fourth was to develop one himself through contemplation.
Each of these four approaches had its own advantages and problems.
