"The first batch failed."

Half a month later, seeing the failed Five-Lotus Pill in the pill cauldron, all previous effort gone to waste, Wei Tu's expression remained as still as an ancient well. Neither pleased nor saddened, he merely frowned slightly.

Though the Five-Lotus Pill was roughly as difficult to refine as the Infant-Replenishing Pill... it was still half a grade higher. The former was a genuine fifth-grade low-grade spirit pill, and that small difference was a chasm many alchemists could never cross in their lifetimes.
