"This relic was discovered by the two True Ones, and I will not speak of it to anyone else," Shi Liuli said calmly. "However, it seems that each time the statue's trial is activated, an incense stick must be lit from the burner."
"There are two sticks of incense left in the burner at the moment, which means it can be activated two more times. After that, we will need to find more incense sticks in order to continue using it."
The meaning of these words was very clear: it suggested that they should use up the incense until only one stick remained, then hand it over to the sect. After all, the sect would then figure out how to find more incense, and they could also exchange it for rewards from the sect, thereby maximizing the benefits.
Qiu Changtian gave a slight nod, and just as Xu Yinglian was about to light the incense, she discovered that it couldn't be lit.
