Seeing that Lin Fengmian was a little doubtful, Luo Xue gave him a simple example.
"Cultivation is like making weapons. Using different materials and techniques, the weapons that can be made are different."
"Kung Fu is your material, which determines the limit your weapon can reach, and the breakthrough elixir is your crafting method."
"The crafting techniques are crude. Although weapons can be made, their strength is far less than those carefully crafted by others."
"When monks fight, they collide with each other using their own weapons. If other conditions are the same, how can you be their opponent?"
Hearing this, Lin Fengmian suddenly understood and said with a hum, "I understand, but we can't find this elixir either, so what should we do?"
"Let's go to the underground trading fair and try our luck. Maybe there will be the elixir we need." Luo Xue was also a little helpless.
Knowing that Lin Fengmian didn't understand, Luo Xue took the initiative to explain it to him.
This kind of underground trading meeting can be regarded as the black market in the world of immortality. Most of them contain things of unknown origin, but it is also easy to encounter things that you would not normally encounter.
Usually the price is clearly stated, sometimes it is bartered.
Participants only need to inform the organizer of their needs or what they want to do, and the organizer will announce it.
If a suitable buyer or seller appears, the organizer will match them.
If the two parties conclude a deal, the organizer will receive remuneration from it.
Luo Xue spent some spirit stones and showed off her strength, and soon gained admission to the underground trade fair in the city.
She directly gave Lin Fengmian the three types of elixirs he needed: the Soul-Leaving Pill, the Spirit-Integrating Pill, and the Void-Breaking Pill.
Next, she could only do her best and obey fate. Luo Xue made up her mind to try her luck in a larger city if there was no news within two days.
Lin Fengmian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Luo Xue, have you prepared the elixirs needed for Mahayana?"
Don't let the two of you go through so much trouble to kill people. If she didn't bring the elixir, it would be troublesome.
Luo Xue nodded and said: "Master has already prepared it for me, and I have been carrying it with me, but I don't dare to accept it because I don't have the honor."
Lin Fengmian couldn't help but wonder: "What will happen if after taking the elixir, the breakthrough is successful but there is no honorable position?"
Luo Xue smiled and said: "This situation will not happen, because the breakthrough will not be successful at all. The prerequisite for breakthrough is that there is a vacancy in the honorable position."
"There is no obstacle for you to break through the golden elixir because you share the honorable position with me. If you didn't have the honorable position, there would be no catastrophe, and naturally it would not be considered a successful breakthrough."
Lin Fengmian suddenly realized: "So this heavenly tribulation is actually a sign recognized by heaven and earth, equivalent to official certification?"
Luo Xue nodded and said: "That's right. Although the breakthrough is successful, no disaster has come. We call this situation a critical state."
"This critical state can possess part of the power of the next realm, but it can only be considered as having half a foot in this realm, not completely."
Lin Fengmian immediately found the problem and asked, "Then why don't you, Luo Xue, become this so-called half-step saint?"
"Half-step saint? This title is quite appropriate."
Luo Xue explained: "Because after becoming this half-step saint, if I don't really step into this realm within a month, I will lose the opportunity to become a saint forever."
Lin Fengmian did not expect that this realm would have a shelf life, and wondered: "So it is in a critical state. Either you find someone to fight for a prestigious position, or you stay on your own forever?"
Luo Xue hummed and said, "Yes, so generally speaking, no one will give up normal promotion and step into this critical point unless they know that there is no hope of promotion, or when life and death are at stake."
Lin Fengmian asked with some anxiety: "Luo Xue, you don't want to enter this critical state before challenging the Sword Master, do you?"
Luo Xue affirmed: "Of course, if you don't succeed, you will succeed!"
Lin Fengmian took a breath and felt the pressure again.
"Do you want to play that big?"
Luo Xue smiled and said: "The path of cultivation is to go against the will of nature. How can I be timid? My current time and position before leaving the body are sufficient."
"Your time will only be harsher, and you have to be prepared in advance."
Lin Fengmian couldn't help but sigh: "Well, it stands to reason that as the number of people increases, the number of honorable positions will decrease."
"Perhaps the position of Yuan Ying in my time was already full, so why do cultivators still have to fight for the position?"
Luo Xue was silent for a while before saying: "According to Master, because the power that this world can bear is limited, it restrains all living beings to avoid breaking the balance."
Lin Fengmian hummed, and he just complained, but had no other ideas.
The two of them were lucky. News soon came from the underground trade fair that someone was willing to sell the best soul-leaving pill, but they needed to exchange it for a healing pill.
And because there are so many people who want the Soul-Living Pill, there are too many competitors, and sellers need to choose what they want.
Luo Xue understood what he meant and directly gave an admission fee and said calmly: "Okay, lead the way."
The two were led by the guide to a quiet manor, which was surrounded by dense woods and mountains and was not easily discovered by the outside world.
Entering the hall of the manor, there is a round stone table, and about ten people gather here.
Most of the people involved in the transaction wore black cloaks to hide their identities and avoid being identified.
Lin Fengmian didn't expect that the allure of a top-quality soul-leaving pill could be so great, and secretly exclaimed: "So many are competitors?"
Luo Xue explained: "This is because the seller is in urgent need of action, and the news has not spread, otherwise the number of people could increase tenfold."
"Why is it so popular?" he asked curiously.
Luo Xue once again gave him some popular science: "Most of the elixirs circulating on the market are of high, medium or even inferior quality."
"The truly top-quality elixirs are in the hands of big forces. If you don't even have enough for yourself, how can they be circulated?"
"It seems that the underground trading house does not have the elixirs that the sellers need, otherwise they would not give us the opportunity."
If she hadn't been afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out if she returned to Qionghua, she would have gone back to Qionghua to get the elixir.
There is no need to travel all over the world now and go through all the troubles.
In fact, if Luo Xue could reveal her identity, it wouldn't be a problem to use her identity to obtain elixirs from various forces.
But now not only can't her identity be revealed, but she also has to prevent Qiong Hua from discovering her whereabouts.
This leads to this embarrassing situation.
Lin Fengmian suddenly realized after hearing this. Sure enough, in any era, truly good things are not available to ordinary people.
He couldn't help but get a headache. This was just a top-quality soul-leaving pill.
With Luo Xue's strength, she is in such trouble, what can she do in the future?
Luo Xue stood among the crowd, disguised like everyone else, wearing a black cloak and a silver-white mask covering half of her face.
The atmosphere here is completely different from that of a regular auction house. Each participant looks at each other with scrutiny in their eyes.
In a tense atmosphere, a sexy host slowly walked into the hall, and everyone couldn't help but look sideways at her.
