"Forget it, take it step by step; first, preserving our lives is paramount."

"Mm."

Upon hearing this from Yun Xiantai, everyone nodded in agreement.

Immediately, everyone was obediently gathered together, led by several Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials.

And that mysterious person, at this time, also roughly said what needed to be done by everyone.

He didn't give specifics, merely producing a white light orb over two persons tall, and had everyone pour Línglì into the orb each day until he said to stop.

Each person pours Línglì for two Shíchén each day; subsequent arrangements will be made separately.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened; two Shíchén?

"This is to squeeze us dry."

"Pouring Línglì with all our might for two Shíchén—isn't that courting death? Our Línglì would surely be exhausted."

The mysterious person's demand is to pour Línglì with all our might; whoever dares to slack off, just look at that Heavenly Official earlier as a warning.

If we follow this demand, we'll be at our limit.

By then, our internal Línglì will surely be completely depleted.

But upon reflection, this is someone having calculated our death; this damned thing has precisely calculated everyone's Línglì amount—two Shíchén, neither more nor less.

It won't make it impossible for us to complete, yet leaves no room for compromise; it's thoroughly squeezing us dry.

Moreover, from this meaning, it's not a one-time thing; we must repeat it cyclically.

As for the remaining ten Shíchén, even if we used them all to recover the expended Línglì, it might not be enough; we'd likely need to supplement with elixirs.

Wait……………… even the time for recovery has been calculated by this damned thing.

For a moment, everyone looked at the mysterious person with solemn expressions.

"This isn't just to wear us to death; if we keep cycling like this, we might not last half a month."
