Chapter 359 Rakshasa Caravan
Dongsheng Shenzhou, Wudang Mountain.

The news of the impending catastrophe swept across Wudang Mountain like a cold wind.

Before winter comes, people will collect firewood so that they can make a fire to keep warm in the cold winter wind.

The same goes for monks.

Under the calamity, magical instruments, elixirs and talismans became extremely scarce.

Every sect is collecting resources to deal with the disaster.

Those who practice Taoism also count the treasures they have accumulated over the years, hoping to exchange them for some treasures that can protect them, so as to save their lives during the catastrophe.

Taixuan was good at drawing talismans. He drew talismans day and night, and offered 70% of them to the sect, leaving only 30% for daily practice.

His senior brother also had to offer the elixirs he made to the sect.

this day.

Taixuan closed his eyes, which had not been closed for two days, and prepared to cultivate his mind. Just as he fell asleep, he heard a squeaking sound coming from the cave, which made him upset, just like usual.

The sound was made by a mouse.

As a famous sect in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Wudang Mountain has beautiful scenery and is suitable for practicing Taoism.

Not only humans are raised here, but also various monsters.

Taoism believes that the way of nature follows nature and all things are in peace and harmony.

Therefore, the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountain gate also became part of the sect. If they could become spirits, they would become the spiritual beasts of the mountain gate.

This mouse is not afraid of people.

In addition, the rat has been in the cave for a long time. At any rate, my senior brother said that the rat was here when he entered the sect.

Strictly speaking, this rat can be regarded as the eldest brother of their lineage.

Taixuan scolded him gently a few times, which had some effect at first, but later he ignored him and continued to bite with the crunching sound.

He did not dare to drive them away loudly, for fear of waking up his senior brother who was sleeping beside him. His senior brother had been refining the elixir for three days without closing his eyes and finally got some time to rest.

Taixuan went up the mountain at the age of five and has been practicing Taoism for only seven years. He is a newcomer in the sect and his current level of cultivation is at the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm.

The senior brother who was sleeping beside him had already reached the stage of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, and was only one step away from becoming an immortal.

The senior brother is not only an extraordinary person in Taoism, but also has extraordinary knowledge. It is usually the senior brother who teaches him Taoism.

The eldest brother is like a father. In Taixuan's heart, his senior brother is like his father.

After several hours, the noises calmed down and Taixuan also wanted to fall asleep.

Suddenly, there was a thud, startling him from the bed. At the same time, he heard a rustling sound, which was the sound of claws rubbing against the alchemy furnace.

The mouse fell into the alchemy furnace.

"Great!"

He thought to himself as he quietly sat up.

With the help of the moonlight shining in from outside the cave, he groped for his sword, pinched his fingers to condense a ball of moonlight between his fingers, illuminating the small area.

Inside the cave was a gorgeous alchemy furnace with a giant eye outlined on it.

Taixuan didn't dare to look closely, he just felt that the eyes seemed to be looking at him.

He opened the furnace and shone a light inside it, and sure enough, he saw a huge rat falling into it.

It was the lingering medicinal fragrance in the alchemy furnace that attracted the rat.

The furnace was made of brass and had smooth surfaces. Rats could not crawl out and could only circle around along the inner wall.

He concentrated his magical power into his eye sockets and discovered that the rat had become a spirit, with a spiritual light glowing in its dantian area.

"Deserved it"

He felt angry when he thought about how she made noise day and night and teased him, causing him no peace.

This lowly thing does nothing productive every day, but it can still stay in the cave and absorb and exhale spiritual ideas.

Why?
Taixuan was able to stay in this excellent cave because of his skill in drawing talismans.

Taixuan looked at the rat struggling in the alchemy furnace, and felt happy.

He made a hand gesture and lit the charcoal fire under the alchemy furnace.

The charcoal fire rose and the furnace quickly became boiling hot.

However, the mouse somehow managed to climb to the waist of the furnace, and looked over with its wide-open eyes, staring straight at Taixuan.

As if to say: "Why don't you rescue Brother Rat?"

Tai Xuan was filled with hatred, so he picked up his sword and used the scabbard to poke it under the stove. He did this several times before letting go.

The mouse was exhausted, but if it stayed at the bottom of the furnace it would be roasted to death sooner or later, so it struggled to climb to the top of the furnace.

It’s just that the top of the stove has an inward-curved edge, so mice can’t get out.

At this time, the temperature of the alchemy furnace was already extremely high, emitting a smell of burnt hair.

The mouse showed a little of its red nose and greedily breathed in the cool breeze blowing in from the furnace.

Taixuan doesn't like people with red noses, but when he saw this little red nose, he felt the mouse's strong desire to survive and felt that it was a bit pitiful.

After all, it is also a spirit with intelligence!

He took up his sword and held it under the mouse, letting it hold on.

The mouse rested on the scabbard for a while, and when it had recovered some strength, it crawled out along the scabbard.

Taixuan saw the whole body of the mouse, with its black hair, fat belly, and half-bald tail that looked like a earthworm.

He immediately felt disgusted. The scabbard shook, and with a plop, the rat fell into the furnace again, making a miserable cry.

But the mouse had no strength left and its cry was not very loud.

At this time, the alchemy furnace was already burning red, and the mouse fell in.

"Zi la la~"

A smell of meat wafted out.

Taixuan looked inside and saw that half of the mouse's body was burnt. It was unable to move, with its mouth wide open and breathing heavily.

Taixuan felt sorry for the mouse again. After all, in terms of seniority in the mountain sect, he was his senior brother.

He took out his sword, picked it out of the furnace and placed it on the ground.

The mouse exuded the aroma of barbecue, which made Taixuan, who had been fasting for a long time, swallow his saliva.

Suddenly, the mouse opened its eyes abruptly, its eyes were red and full of murderous intent, and it rushed towards Taixuan with green smoke curling around it.

This startled Taixuan, and he subconsciously raised his sword and slapped it down, only to hear a squeaking sound.

The mouse vomited blood and died.

Taixuan's heart trembled, and he was overwhelmed by guilt, as if he had done something heinous. He squatted down, staring at the mouse blankly.

"Brother Taixuan, what are you doing?"

His senior brother had already woken up and asked from the couch.

"The spirit entered the alchemy furnace~"

Taixuan stood up hurriedly, turned around, but didn't say the rest.

"Brother, the rat in the cave? I know, but what are you doing? Are you killing it or saving it? You are so indecisive~"

Taixuan did not answer. The charcoal fire under the alchemy furnace shone into his eyes, flickering.

~~~~
The caravan from Luosha City passed by Wudang Mountain.

The disciples of the mountain sect gathered the materials they had accumulated and prepared to exchange them for some protective magic tools.

Most of the people who practice Taoism make their own magic weapons. After all, the magic weapons made in this way are spiritually compatible and most suitable for their owners, and it is also a way to save materials.

But the killing calamity is approaching, and they don’t have much time to cultivate their magic weapons.

The magic weapon has not been nurtured and has no power at all, let alone saving your life in a disaster.

Taixuan also took out the talismans he had accumulated, plus some high-quality elixirs given to him by his senior brother, and prepared to sell them to the caravan.

The Rakshasa Caravan can give him a satisfactory price in exchange for a top-quality protective magic weapon.

When the catastrophe comes, the surrounding sects are all vying for the spiritual veins and mines. A great war is imminent, and each cave must send one person to join the war to guard the mountain gate and the mines.

So he had to prepare protective magic weapons to deal with the war.

It's not quite light yet.

He stepped out of the cave, took big steps, walked out of the cave and went down the mountain.

When they arrived at the market place built by the Rakshasa caravan, the sun had not yet risen, and dewdrops were hanging on the grass leaves, hiding the cold air.

After entering the market.

Taixuan opened his eyes wide and couldn't close his mouth.
