Chapter 797: Chapter 797: The Last Hope (Fourth Update) Chapter 797: Chapter 797: The Last Hope (Fourth Update) “The Elder in charge suffered from accumulation of cold poison in his body years ago due to forcefully refining ancient ice, and for these years, the Grand Elder has been searching for a Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower to refine an elixir to help the Elder in charge expel the cold poison. The one just now was the last one!”

Shangguan Yunyu explained.

“What? The last one?” The faces of Zhang Junlan and the other two changed drastically again.

The old man guarding the entrance of the academy had already said that the Grand Elder of the academy was currently refining elixirs. Doesn’t that mean that the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower is already being used in the elixir refinement process?

Shangguan Yunyu’s words undoubtedly made Zhang Junlan and his two companions feel despair.

“What can we do now? We’ve come all this way, only to find it’s the last one!” Ye Tianwei said, full of disappointment.

Shangguan Yunyu said with a bitter smile, “If you had come a bit earlier, there might have been hope, but now that the Grand Elder has been refining for half an hour, I fear that the herbs have already…”

“…” Zhang Junlan and his two companions completely lost confidence, their last hope shattered.

They had traveled far and wide, first to Xingyun Sect and now to Holy Soul Academy, all to find a Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower to save someone, but in the end, it ended in disappointment. The intense feeling of desolation was extremely uncomfortable.

Putting all one’s efforts into something, only to fail in the end — anyone would find it difficult to accept.

Such a psychological and spiritual blow could make one feel utterly dejected.

“Instructor Shangguan, sorry to bother you.” Taking a deep breath and suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Zhang Junlan spoke calmly.

There was nothing they could do about the arrangement of fate, so Zhang Junlan and his companions were helpless.

They also finally realized just how precious cherished medicinal herbs were and why powerful elixirs were always exorbitantly priced.

Only after experiencing the quest for medicinal herbs did they truly understand.

When Zhang Junlan and his companions left Shangguan Yunyun’s room, they seemed not to notice that outside, many talented students had already been turned away.

From their expressions, it seemed as though they would rush in to save Shangguan Yunyun at a moment’s notice, should anything happen inside her room.

Shangguan Yunyun, so beautiful that she took one’s breath away, so unforgettable.

When Zhang Junlan and his companions came out, the students immediately erupted into a buzz.

“Zhang Junlan?” One of the students suddenly exclaimed, recognizing Zhang Junlan at a glance.

“Zhang Junlan? The Mainland’s number one talent in artifact refining, Zhang Junlan? Qixuan was defeated by him.” Upon hearing the name Zhang Junlan, many students were greatly shocked, showing surprised expressions on their faces.

The student known as Qixuan was a talented Artifact Refiner who had also participated in the Artifact Refining Conference but unfortunately lost to Zhang Junlan.

“So he is the Mainland’s number one talented Artifact Refiner, Zhang Junlan!” The students suddenly realized, no wonder Shangguan Yunyun had been so courteous in receiving him; he really was someone with a significant background.

After learning of Zhang Junlan’s formidable identity, the top prodigies of the academy showed a mix of respect and wariness in their eyes, not daring to underestimate the Mainland’s number one talented Artifact Refiner.

Many talented students made way for them.

“Heavenly Human Realm, Ninth Level? Hmph! The Mainland’s number one talented Artifact Refiner is just this, what use is having powerful artifact refining skills? In the end, it’s all about strength. Personal strength is what matters most. Without strength, you are nothing,” a top prodigy said with a disdainful face, incredibly arrogant.

“That’s right! I originally thought the Mainland’s number one talented Artifact Refiner would be at least at the fifth level of the Tianji Realm, but I didn’t expect him not to have even broken through to the Tianji Realm. Truly disappointing,” someone else mocked.

Some students with stronger cultivation considered their own skills superior and didn’t take Zhang Junlan seriously at all.

Zhang Junlan was feeling very despondent at the moment and had no interest in these so-called talented students.
