I think it's supposed to be a type of revelation event inciting doubt and slight fear. Like how special forces in the US for example, the most deadly ones look likr your average joe working as a supermarket manager but know how to kill you in 402 ways.

I'm pretty sure, this one isn't even on her because she got ordered to interrogate him anyway.

He has control over the repurcussions, no matter how you twist and turn it, it is a bigger drawback this way than if he had the control over the story. If you add conditions like he has to write it himself and it happens in RL, then he can use thagt for his benefit too. This way it at least keeps it spontaneous.

Moreover, it's not like they are personally targetting him. They see his daughter as a resource, just because he doesn't kill the weak one doesn't mean the old one won't just make a move when he comes across it.

Swear to god. People should found the Resting Soul sect which sacrfices Spirit Infant Sect memebers to achieve a peace of mind.

This a supernatural setting where things like spirit, soul, physical talent exist. It would be unreasonable to expect everything to look and progress the aame as in RL.

In the first chapters the firdt tging Chen guy did as a job was carve out a Bhoddisattva for a inner city family. These sect guys use similar things to mark targets and they are carved out of wood. They obviously have the backing of Noble families which are the defacto rulers in the current times considering the inner chaos the dynasty is experiencing.

Depends on the taxes. And the buying power of 5 tael silver. The shop already showed that they provide quite a few benefits, which in the total calculations might be reasonable.

The point is, the guy before and I were making jokes. You seemingly were not, despite appearing to be doing so too.

Of course, how else do you learn to truly carve immortal wood with spirit if you don't carve things with a spirit first.
