Chapter 158 The Disappointment of the Fifth Lady
Mo Juren then went down Mopan Mountain and rushed to Wenjian Villa.

As soon as they arrived at the place, they saw the Fifth Lady He'er holding Zhang Qing's hand and chatting intimately, like a pair of sisters.

As soon as he saw Mo Juren appear, Zhang Qing quickly stood up from the Fifth Madam's side, bowed his head and said,
"master."

"Husband,"

Madam Wu smiled and met Mo Juren's gaze. She approached Mo Juren and asked with a smile,
"I heard from Zhang Qing that she is learning the art of cultivating immortals from her husband. Is this true?"

Before Mo Juren could answer, Zhang Qing knelt down and said in a fearful tone,
"Please punish me, Master. I didn't reveal it on my own initiative. It was the Fifth Madam who was so smart that she guessed it right at once, so I couldn't hide it..."

Originally, Mo Juren asked Zhang Qingxian not to reveal his identity as an immortal cultivator casually, but it is no exaggeration to say that the Fifth Madam has a unique vision.

She must have made her own inferences from various clues, so she found out from Zhang Qing.

So Mo Juren said to Madam Wu,

"It is indeed true. She has not practiced this technique for long. I told her not to reveal it casually."

"I just came out of seclusion not long ago, and I was just planning to tell you about this matter. You can't blame Zhang Qing for this."

After receiving Mo Juren's affirmative answer, Madam Wu smiled and said,
"...That's great. With Zhang Qing accompanying my husband in cultivation, I won't have to walk alone."

"I'm so happy, how could I blame her?"

So the Fifth Lady turned around and helped Zhang Qing up personally.

However, Mo Juren seemed to see a hint of loss in the depths of Fifth Madam's eyes.

But this is something that cannot be done. Without spiritual roots, one is destined to be a fairy or a mortal in the future.

Mo Juren sometimes wondered whether he could let his beloved fifth wife try his path of possessing another's body.

But since the Seven Ghosts Soul-Devouring Knife has turned into ashes, she will not be able to gain magic power.

As a mortal soul, she probably cannot leave her body, let alone take over another person's body.

So he could only pretend that he didn't know about this and said to Madam Wu,
"He'er, if nothing happens here at Wenjian Villa, you can come back to Jiayuan City with me. After that, your husband may have to go on a long journey."

The Fifth Lady smiled and replied,
"Okay, husband. He'er can leave now."

So Mo Juren took the fifth lady away and left Zhang Qing in Wenjian Villa again.

This time, the Fifth Lady seemed particularly irritating, so much so that Mo Juren stopped twice on the way, once at a beautiful mountain and once under an old tree to enjoy the cool...

Moreover, the Fifth Lady seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally expressed her desire to give Mo Juren another child.

Regarding this point, Mo Juren was still powerless.

I don’t know if it’s because of the possession of another’s body or because the cultivation of immortality will change one’s physical constitution, but none of the four wives and the five or six maids have ever shown any signs of giving birth.

So Mo Juren could only try his best to comfort Madam Wu and tell her not to worry about the matter.

This time he returned to Jiayuan City, he was mainly responsible for dealing with matters related to "respecting" Hong Jin and the offerings made by the Jingjiao Society to Lingshou Mountain.

The spiritual stones were easy to obtain, as Mo Juren had prepared them early in the morning. However, the supplies for the Jing Jiao Society took a lot of twists and turns, and were finally collected with the help of the Five Color Sect.

The supplies needed by Lingshou Mountain mainly include medicinal herbs, minerals, grains, cloth, etc., as well as a small number of craftsmen, maids and young servants.

As the largest city in Lanzhou, Jiayuan City had no difficulty in selecting these people from the large population. At first, they thought they were joining the Jingjiao Society, but in the end, they heard that they were actually going to contribute to the "Xianmen", and basically all of them were more willing and did not back down.

Jingjiao will follow the rules set by the Young Master of the Five Colors Sect and transport all these people and belongings to the Changping Ferry Wharf by large ship and prepare them in advance.

Then he dismissed everyone and left only Mo Juren and the fourth lady on the boat, waiting for the arrival of the "immortal envoy".

Hong Jin appeared on time, but this time he did not ride the ostentatious flying tiger. Instead, he slipped onto the deck silently.

Mo Juren and his fourth wife came to greet him.
"Greetings to Senior Hong/Master Immortal Envoy."

Hong Jin replied faintly, "Yeah," and then walked into the lower cabin.

The fourth lady hurriedly followed and introduced various supplies to him.

Piles of herbs, minerals, grains, and cloth were all spread out in the cabin in the agreed quantities.

Hong Jin took out a special storage bag with the mark of Spirit Beast Mountain. Every time the Fourth Madam described one, he waved his hand and put the pile of supplies directly into the storage bag.

Soon, all the huge amount of supplies that the Jingjiao Society had prepared for a long time on the ship were stored in the storage bag.

Judging from its capacity, it is hundreds of times more than that. It should be some kind of top-grade magical weapon, which makes Mo Juren jealous.

After Hong Jin collected the supplies needed by the sect, he did not move.

The fourth lady also said that the personnel needed by the Immortal Sect were waiting in the upper hold, and asked the immortal messenger to go and check.

But Hong Jin said it was not necessary and waved his hand to let the fourth lady leave.

Mo Juren thought that with his foundation-building cultivation, he should be able to have the so-called spiritual power, and he would be able to know the scene in the upper hold with just a glance, so he didn't need to use his eyes to see.

Mo Juren knew that it was time for him to show his "filial piety", so he walked forward and placed twenty-four spirit stones on a platform between the two of them, then said while suppressing his nausea,

"I recently went to Mengshan Mountain to hunt animals and fortunately made some gains. These small spiritual stones are just my thanks to the mountain gate this season. I hope Senior Hong will accept them."

The supplies provided to the Jingjiao Association are also handed in once every three months, which is exactly eight pieces per month as agreed before.

Hong Jin took one of the spirit stones and stroked it with his hand, saying with a smile,
"Not bad. It seems that you are doing much better than other casual cultivators. You have quite a lot of money on hand."

Mo Juren quickly replied,
"This time, I was fortunate enough to join the beast hunting team of the Mengshan Five Friends, and I got some benefits."

Hong Jin then took all the spirit stones into his bag and said slowly,
"I see. The Mengshan Five Friends are also veteran independent cultivators. They have always been a bit pretentious. I didn't expect you to be able to establish a relationship with them. It's really great."

"Then did they tell you that when I asked them to enter Mount Meng, they needed to help me investigate and pay attention to some matters?"

Mo Juren thought anxiously in his heart, this is indeed something he has never heard of the Five Friends of Mengshan mention.

However, if he said no directly, it might make those five people hate him, so he thought about it and replied,
"That hunting trip was rushed, and the five Taoist friends only said that they would look for me to go into the mountains with them next time they had the chance, but they failed to mention that they also knew Senior Hong."

Then, without waiting for him to think, he asked again,
"I wonder if Senior Hong has anything to investigate or pay attention to? Next time I go to Mount Meng, I will definitely pay more attention to it for you."

Hong Jin then said,
"Although the level and number of monsters in Mengshan are far less than those in Yunwu Mountain where the gate of my Spirit Beast Mountain is located, there are also some exotic spirit birds, which are relatively precious species."

"If you find some extremely fast, huge creatures, or creatures that can cast lightning in Mengshan, no matter if they are level one or level two, please let me know."

Mo Juren was almost frightened when he heard this. Isn’t this guy talking about the Cloud-winged Bird?

And the roc-shaped animal bones under the altar where it got the opportunity! ?
