Chapter 200 Half-Step Saint

Seeing that Lin Fengmian was a little skeptical, Luo Xue gave him a simple example.

"Practicing is like forging weapons. Different materials and forging techniques can produce different weapons."

"The skills are your materials, which determine the limit of your weapons, and the breakthrough pills are your forging techniques."

"The forging techniques are crude and shoddy. Although you can also make weapons, their strength is far less than that of others' carefully forged weapons."

"The confrontation between cultivators is to collide with each other with their own weapons. Under the same conditions, how can you be their opponent?"

Lin Fengmian suddenly realized it after hearing this, and hummed and said, "I understand, but we can't find this pill either. What can we do?"

"Go to the underground trade fair and try your luck. Maybe there will be the pills 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 trade fair is considered a black market in the world of immortal cultivation. Most of the things in it are of unknown origin, but it is also easy to encounter things that you don't usually encounter.

Usually the price is clearly marked, and sometimes it is barter.

Participants only need to inform the organizer of their needs or what they want to sell, and the organizer will announce it.

If a suitable buyer or seller appears, the organizer will match them up.

If the two parties make a deal, the organizer will receive a reward.

Luo Xue spent some spirit stones and showed her strength, and soon got the admission to the underground trade fair in this city.

She directly reported the three kinds of elixirs that Lin Fengmian needed, namely, the Soul Separation Pill, the Soul Combination Pill, and the Void Breaking Pill.

Next, she could only do her best and leave it to fate. Luo Xue made up her mind to try her luck in a bigger 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 kill people with so much hardship, it will be troublesome if she doesn't bring elixirs.

Luo Xue nodded and said, "Master prepared it for me a long time ago. I have been carrying it with me, but I don't dare to take it because I don't have the honorable position."

Lin Fengmian couldn't help but ask curiously, "What will happen if I take the elixir and succeed in breaking through but don't have the honorable position?"

Luo Xue smiled and said, "This situation will not happen, because there will be no successful breakthrough at all. The premise of the breakthrough is that there is a vacant honorable position."

"You have no obstacles in breaking through the golden elixir because you share the honorable position with me. If there is no honorable position, there will be no heavenly tribulation, and naturally it will not be considered a successful breakthrough."

Lin Fengmian suddenly realized, "So this heavenly tribulation is actually a sign of recognition by heaven and earth, equivalent to official certification?"

Luo Xue nodded and said, "That's right. Although the breakthrough is successful, there is no heavenly tribulation. We call this situation a critical state."

"This critical state can have some of the power of the next realm, but it can only be regarded as half a foot into this realm, not completely."

Lin Fengmian He immediately found the problem and asked, "Why don't you become the so-called half-step saint, Luo Xue?"

"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 didn't expect that this realm still has a shelf life, and wondered, "So in this critical state, either go find someone to fight for a position, or stay in the same place forever?"

Luo Xue hummed and said, "Yes, so generally speaking, unless you know that there is no hope of promotion, or it is a matter of life and death, no one will give up normal promotion and step into this critical point."

Lin Fengmian asked a little nervously, "Luo Xue, you don't want to step into this critical state before challenging the Sword Saint, do you?"

Luo Xue affirmed, "Of course, if you don't succeed, you will die!"

Lin Fengmian took a breath and felt the pressure again.

"Do you want to play so big?"

Luo Xue smiled and said: "The path of cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. How can you be timid? I have enough honorific positions before my time out of the body."

"Your time will only be more severe. You have to prepare in advance."

Lin Fengmian sighed: "Alas, it stands to reason that more and more people will have fewer and fewer honorific positions."

"Maybe the honorific positions of Yuanying in my era were full. Why do you have to fight for honorific positions in cultivation?"

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 and avoids breaking the balance."

Lin Fengmian hummed, and he just complained, but he didn't have any other ideas.

The two were lucky. The underground trade fair soon received news that someone was willing to sell the top-grade Soul-Separation Pill, but in exchange for healing pills.

And because there were too many people who wanted the Soul-Separation Pill, there were too many competitors, and the seller needed to choose what he needed.

Luo Xue understood what he meant, and gave an entrance fee directly, saying lightly: "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 was a round stone table inside, and about ten people gathered here.

Most of the people involved in the transaction wore black cloaks to hide their identities and avoid being discovered.

Lin Fengmian didn't expect that the temptation of a top-grade soul-leaving pill could be so great, and secretly said in amazement: "So many are competitors?"

Luo Xue explained: "This is because the seller is in urgent need of selling, and the news has not spread, otherwise the number of people can increase tenfold."

"Why is it so popular?" he asked curiously.

Luo Xue gave him a popular science again: "Most of the elixirs circulating on the market are of upper, middle and lower grades, or even inferior elixirs."

"The real top-quality elixirs are in the hands of big forces, and they are not enough for themselves, so how can they be circulated?"

"It seems that the underground trading house does not have the elixirs that the seller needs, otherwise they would not give us the opportunity."

If she was not afraid that she would not be able to get out after returning to Qionghua, she would have returned to Qionghua to get the elixir long ago.

There is no need to run around the world now and go through so many twists and turns.

In fact, if Luo Xue could reveal her identity, it would not be a problem for her to get the elixir from various forces with her identity.

But now not only can she not reveal her identity, but she also has to avoid Qionghua discovering her whereabouts.

This led to this embarrassing situation.

After listening to this, Lin Fengmian suddenly realized that in any era, the real good things are not available to ordinary people.

He couldn't help but have a headache. This is just a top-quality Soul-Separating Pill.

Luo Xue is already in such trouble with her strength, what can I do in the future?

Luo Xue stood in the crowd, disguised like everyone else, wearing a black cloak and a silver mask covering half of her face.

The atmosphere here is completely different from that of a regular auction house. Participants look at each other with scrutiny in their eyes.

In the tense atmosphere, a sexy host slowly walked into the hall, and everyone couldn't help but look at her sideways.
