After placing Linlong's Qi-Strengthening Pill on the Jade Drum, Zhao Guan once again stimulated the energy in his body, and then pressed his right hand against the Qi-Strengthening Pill.
After a while, he raised his palm to indicate to everyone around him. Everyone could clearly see that there was no powder of the Qi-Strengthening Pill on his palm.
After that, everyone naturally focused their attention on the Jade Drum.
Everyone could clearly see that three circles on the Jade Drum quickly turned blue, and then the speed of change began to slow down.
Not long after, another circle turned blue. In other words, there were a total of four circles that had changed.
Obviously, the Qi-Strengthening Pill that Linlong had refined was not bad, but it was still unknown whether it could compare to Fan Shaoyun's Qi-Strengthening Pill.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, another circle changed. So far, a total of five circles had changed.
In other words, the efficacy of the Qi-Strengthening Pill that Linlong had refined was already comparable to the efficacy of Fan Shaoyun's Qi-Strengthening Pill.
Coupled with Linlong's fast refining speed, he had now defeated Fan Shaoyun.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was amazed.
What they didn't expect was that the changes to the circles on the Jade Drum didn't stop until half of the sixth circle turned blue. Only then did the changes stop completely.
"How amazing, he actually made five and a half circles change!"
"The Qi-Strengthening Pill that Lin Li refined is definitely the best of the best!"
"From what I remember, it seems that only those mentors and elders can do this!"
"Could it be that Lin Li's strength is already comparable to the mentors and elders?"
"Of course that's impossible. It can only be said that he is very good at refining Qi-Strengthening Pills!"
For a moment, everyone present at the scene sighed.
At this moment, Fan Shaoyun's expression was naturally extremely ugly. "Impossible, impossible …"
He muttered these words in his mouth. He did not dare to believe it at all, but everything in front of him told him that this was the truth. He had lost, and the Qi-Strengthening Pill that he refined could not compare to his opponent's.
"Fan Shaoyun, you have lost!" Linlong said.
Linlong's words brought Fan Shaoyun back to his senses, and he frowned.
"Fan Shaoyun, you have indeed lost. Lin Li's level-1 Energy Pill can activate five and a half circles, but yours can only activate five circles," Zhao Guan said.
"Fan Shaoyun, I hope you can fulfill your promise and give me the one million Yongzhou dollars," Linlong said again.
"I don't have that much money on me right now. Can I give it to you in a few days?" Fan Shaoyun asked with an ugly expression.
Although he was the Young Master of the Fan Family, how could he have so much money on him?
"Tsk tsk, he came to gamble even though he has no money. Is he still the young master of the Fan Clan?" Lin Long couldn't help sneering.
"That's right. Even though he doesn't have money, he still came to gamble. Furthermore, he's the young master of the Fan Family. Don't you think it's embarrassing to say such words?"
"If it was someone else, I'm afraid that he would immediately place the knife on that person's neck and ask them to take it out immediately!"
At that moment, many such voices could be heard.
There were so many people at the scene. Naturally, there were people who disliked Fan Shao Yun. Now that they saw Fan Shao Yun like this, they naturally said such words.
Hearing such words, Fan Shao Yun's face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver. As the talented young master of the Fan Family, he had never been humiliated like this before.
"Don't worry, I, Fan Shao Yun, am a man of my words!" Fan Shao Yun said coldly.
"Seeing that you're so sincere, I'm willing to extend the deadline for a few days. However, I have a condition," Linlong said calmly.
"What condition?" Fan Shao Yun asked immediately.
"It's very simple. Fan Shao Yun, at this time in two days, you have to personally hand me the one million dollars. I believe that as the young master of the Fan Family, you can do it. If not, I won't agree to it," Linlong said with a smile.
What else could Fan Shao Yun do? He could only reply coldly, "Alright then."
"See you then. I hope that you won't stand me up, Fan Shao Yun," Linlong said with a smile.
Fan Shao Yun didn't reply. Instead, he turned around and left the competition pavilion.
Linlong didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhao Guan and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Mentor Zhao Guan."
"You're welcome," Zhao Guan said with a smile. Zhao Guan said with a smile. Then, he patted Linlong's shoulder and encouraged him, "Lin Li, you did well. I hope that you can keep up the good work."
Seeing that Linlong was so polite, many people at the scene started discussing again.
"Look at Lin Li. He's so powerful yet so polite."
"What about Fan Shao Yun? As the young master of the Fan Family, he has no manners at all. It's as if the competition pavilion belongs to his family."
"If he wasn't the young master of the Fan Family and was born in an ordinary family, I'm afraid that he wouldn't even have the ability to enter the Xing Wu Academy."
Hearing this, Fan Shao Yun was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. It wasn't that he was rude, but he wasn't in the mood to do so.
Although he was angry, there were too many people talking about him like this. He didn't know who to target, so he could only lower his head and leave the competition pavilion with a sullen face.
After that, Lin Long left as well. The competition had come to an end.
Fan Shao Yun didn't return to his residence. Instead, he left the Xing Wu Academy and went to the Fan Family.
He naturally went to look for his father to ask for a million dollars. He couldn't find a million dollars by himself, so he could only ask Fan Shenglin.
To his relief, Fan Shenglin didn't go out of the Fan Family's residence.
After seeing Fan Shenglin, Fan Shao Yun directly said, "Father, can you give me a million Yongzhou dollars?"
"What do you want a million dollars for?" Hearing Fan Shao Yun's words, Fan Shenglin was naturally surprised.
A million dollars was not a small amount. Even though he doted on Fan Shao Yun, he was extremely surprised to hear that Fan Shao Yun asked for so much money.
"I made a bet with someone. If I lose, I will have to pay a million dollars," Fan Shao Yun said in a low voice.
"What bet? The stakes are so high?" Fan Shenglin frowned. At this moment, he had calmed down a little.
"I competed to refine a level-one Qi-enhancing Pill. In the end, I lost to the other party. The level-one Qi-enhancing Pill refined by the other party could activate five semicircles on the jade drum, while I could only activate five," Fan Shao Yun said.
"You're not competing with those powerful alchemists, right?" Fan Shenglin couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's someone who is about the same age as me. He is also a new disciple of the Xing Wu Academy," Fan Shao Yun said.
"Who is he? You are so talented and skilled in refining level-one Qi-enhancing Pills. How could you lose to him?" Fan Shenglin was surprised again.
He was very clear about Fan Shao Yun's talent and strength. Hearing that Fan Shao Yun lost to such a person, he was naturally surprised.
"His name is Lin Li. He is only of average talent. I don't know how he refined level-one Qi-enhancing Pills, but he is better than me," Fan Shao Yun said.
Fan Shenglin thought of something and asked, "Could it be that you were cheated?"
"I was not cheated. The competition was held in our academy's Competition Pavilion. Mentor Zhao Guan was the judge. There were many people at the scene, including some mentors and elders," Fan Shao Yun said.
"So, this Lin Li is really quite capable?" Fan Shenglin frowned.
"I think so," Fan Shao Yun said helplessly.
"Tell me everything in detail," Fan Shenglin said.
Fan Shao Yun immediately told him everything in detail.
After hearing Fan Shao Yun's words, Fan Shenglin immediately nodded and said, "Shao Yun, I don't blame you for losing this competition. I will give you one million later."
"Thank you, Father." Fan Shao Yun could not help but be overjoyed when he heard Fan Shenglin's words.
Then, he said coldly, "It's all Lin Li's fault. I will teach him a lesson in the future and find a way to take back the one million Yongzhou dollars!"
"Okay," Fan Shenglin agreed.
Fan Shao Yun originally wanted to tell Lin Li about how he was locked up in the academy's dungeon because of Lin Long. However, after thinking about it, he did not say such a thing in the end.
This was because such a thing was too embarrassing for him. Although he knew that Fan Shenglin would eventually find out about it, he could not say it.
Lin Li, just you wait. Not only will I make you spit out the one million Yongzhou dollars, but I will also take your life! Fan Shao Yun thought fiercely in his heart.
After a while, Fan Shenglin took out a card with a strange Rune Magic Circle on its surface and gave it to Fan Shao Yun.
This was a special money card of the Yongzhou Continent. The strange Rune Magic Circle on the surface was a Rune Magic Circle developed by several major banks in the Yongzhou Continent. If it was not for the joint efforts of these banks, no one would be able to change the Rune Magic Circle. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the amount of Yongzhou dollars being tampered with.
Since this kind of money card was very expensive to make, it was usually only used for large transactions.
"Shao Yun, there is one million Yongzhou dollars in this money card. Take it to that kid," Fan Shenglin said.
"Thank you, Father." Fan Shao Yun thanked him again.
After that, Fan Shenglin asked, "Shao Yun, it will be the time for the level two alchemist qualification assessment in a month. Have you made any progress in refining the level two Qi-strengthening pill?"
"Father, there has not been much progress." Fan Shao Yun shook his head helplessly.
"It is not that easy to refine a level two Qi-strengthening pill, but don't be discouraged. With your talent, one day you will be able to refine a level two Qi-strengthening pill and become a level two alchemist," Fan Shenglin said.
"Father, don't worry. I will work hard," Fan Shao Yun said seriously.
"Then I can rest assured." Although he had inexplicably lost one million Yongzhou dollars, and almost used up all his savings, he was still very happy when he thought that Fan Shao Yun would become a powerful alchemist in the end.
After chatting for a while, Fan Shao Yun returned to the Xing Wu Academy. After all, the level one alchemist qualification assessment was about to begin.
Two days later, Fan Shaoyun took the money card and walked into the competition pavilion.
