The pitiful thing was that pill concoction was a job that didn't tolerate mistakes, especially for high level pills.
A faint burnt smell came and then with a few light cracks, Jiu Qian's heart sunk. He knew his cauldron failed.
Two slightly burnt pills landed inside the jade bottle he prepared. Without looking, Jiu Qian knew his Cauldron Filling Pill failed. It wasn't that he didn't do well enough, he did the best he could but he was sure that if Ye Mo failed, his procedure marks wouldn't be higher than his.
He only failed at the last step, he showcased all of his capabilities. His skills were indeed not enough to concoct heaven grade level seven yet, so defeat was reasonable. He expected this.
Now, he could only wait for Ye Mo's result. Victory or loss was completely in the hands of his opponent.
But Jiu Qian knew that even if Luo Xiaomo failed too and got lower procedure marks than him, it wouldn't be much lower than him. With the points he got before, he actually might lose.
