In fact, the situation of the various Magic Sects varies. For example, in the Observing Body Sect, which has the most disciples, having incense burning in the Ancestral Hall 24 hours a day is very necessary. But for a sect like the Lingxi Sect, which has the fewest disciples, doing so would certainly be very wasteful.
Yet this is the tradition of the Magic Sects, providing the disciples within the sect a sense of enduring continuity and legacy. It's not just about whether a few sticks of Awakening Incense are wasted.
He Kao did a calculation in his mind: one stick of Awakening Incense can burn for an hour; lighting three sticks at a time requires thirty-six sticks a day, which sums up to 13,140 sticks a year.
