It had to be said, strange as this sect was, it was quite suitable for Li Su to lie low in.
Other than having to hand over fifteen basic talismans every month and being forbidden from leaving the area assigned to him, he was basically free to act as he pleased.

If they died by accident, the sect would not replace them.
Thus, the conflicts Li Su had initially worried about rarely occurred.

Take someone like him, for instance. Fifteen Grade Two talismans a month—among a thousand people, there were fewer than two hundred who could produce that much.
In other words, there were not even two hundred of them. If one died, the loss would immediately exceed two percent.
Yes, not one-point-something percent, but over two percent.
Because five of those fifteen talismans had to be handed over to the sect. In other words, if he died, the formal disciple would not merely lose fifteen talismans a month—they would have to pay an additional five out of their own pocket.
