In the slowed time, Pearl and Scarlet cultivated the Qi that filled their bodies, quickly refining it to make it theirs. They could use it just as it was, but if anything about the test was as Alex had guessed it would be, their Qi would be too low quality to count.
As such, they first needed to turn the Qi into their own before they could pour it in.
Alex's situation was the same as theirs, but unlike them, he didn't need to worry about his output. A pill could only give someone so much Qi, but he wasn't going to rely on Qi.
Every hour that passed outside was over 10 hours for the two beasts, so within an hour, they had more or less regained all of their Qi thanks to the pill. Once done, Alex let the two go ahead and pour their Qi.
While he stayed, he surveyed the surroundings, seeing how the others were faring. The other beasts were busy cultivating, each one focused on themselves.
