BOOM!
Xiao Gu's concentration shattered, causing him to make a mistake, and his pill furnace exploded.
Black smoke billowed from the Pill Furnace, a testament to Xiao Gu's failure.
While it was common for an Alchemist's alchemy to fail, for it to happen during a competition undoubtedly sealed one's fate as the loser.
When performing Alchemy, an Alchemist must not only remain calm and composed.
They must also be extremely meticulous, controlling every detail with methodical precision. The slightest mistake would greatly increase the chances of the alchemy failing.
"What a pity. Elder Xiao's alchemy actually failed."
"Besides, even if his alchemy hadn't failed, Elder Xiao's skill would have only produced a Silver Quality elixir at best."
"Look at Steward Jiang. He refined a Gold Quality elixir right off the bat. That's terrifying."
"It's a complete steamroll. Elder Xiao has been utterly defeated."
