Ning Yi said it very frankly, without any reluctance.

When the spirit of a mortal reaches his level, he no longer has the ordinary desire to compare.

Even if there is, I will only compare myself with myself, today is better than yesterday, tomorrow is better than today...

Looking at Ning Yi's calm expression, Ye Zixun smiled and said, "Your mentality is indeed suitable for cultivating immortals."

Ning Yi also laughed and was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the yard.

Ye Zixun turned his head to look in the direction where the footsteps came from, then put away the Void Jade Plate, looked at Ning Yi and smiled: "It's Master Hu from Hujiazhuang and Master Li from Lijiazhuang..."

Ning Yi nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go and meet them."

…

…

The world of immortal cultivation, Qingli Island.

Silver light burst out in the quiet room, and Zhou Tianyi walked out with a happy smile on his face.

Thanks to Ye Chen and Nie Changchuan, he obtained more than 36,000 Gray Mist Coins this time.

Combined with his previous savings and accumulation, it was enough for him to buy the treasures he wanted and make some arrangements on Qingli Island.

The first thing is the most basic protective measures.

Zhou Tianyi left the quiet room, found his second uncle Zhou Shengwei and third uncle Zhou Shengzhi, and brought them to the bluestone hall on the highest peak.

There is a restricted area behind the main hall where no one is allowed to enter. The core array of Qingli Island's triple island protection array is placed there.

Zhou Tianyi brought the two elders here, took out a round ball that was shining with silver light, and placed it on top of the core array plate with great care.

This silver ball of light was very magical. Zhou Tianyi had clearly loosened his hands, but it did not fall. Instead, it was quietly suspended in the air, as if there was an invisible platform below that was supporting it.

"……What's this?"

Second uncle Zhou Shengwei asked curiously.

Zhou Tianyi turned around, looked at the two elders in front of him and said solemnly: "This is a treasure I got from the Divine Court. You can think of it as a special defensive array. If Qingli Island is invaded by foreign enemies, you only need to inject spiritual energy into it to activate a space barrier."

"I have adjusted the scope of the space barrier to cover the entire Qingli Island."

"With this thing, and by strengthening the review mechanism for outsiders entering the island, my Qingli Island Zhou family will be as solid as a rock!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Tianyi showed a confident expression on his face.

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi looked at each other, and the former asked cautiously:

"magic weapon?"

Zhou Tianyi shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

Zhou Shengwei swallowed his saliva: "Could it be... a spiritual treasure?"

"Don't ask!" Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly stopped Zhou Shengwei, and then looked at Zhou Tianyi seriously and said, "Yier, if this thing is really a treasure, you should keep it to yourself, and you shouldn't tell the news to others, even us..."

"How can that be possible!"

Zhou Tianyi smiled and said, "I also plan to go out and explore the secret realm, look for resources, and interact more with the Divine Court!"

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, please bear with me and share the burden for me..."

As he spoke, Zhou Tianyi motioned for the two to come forward, and explained, "I have the only highest authority over this treasure. In addition, there are five secondary authorities. I plan to give three of them to you and Patriarch Wenyuan."

Zhou Shengzhi hesitated and asked, "What about Ruoqin?"

Zhou Tianyi shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it after we officially become Taoist couples."

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi were naturally very satisfied with Zhou Tianyi's attitude.

As the head of the Zhou family, he must put the family first. Even if it is a wife like Liu Ruoqin who has already been chosen as the head of the family, she must sort out her identity before she truly becomes a member of the family.

Afterwards, Zhou Tianyi guided the two of them to leave their own soul imprints.

"Okay, now you have the secondary authority of this treasure. As long as you inject spiritual energy into it, you can activate the space barrier."

"But please be aware that after activating this treasure, the amount of spiritual energy consumed is extremely huge. Every thousand low-grade spiritual stones can only last for half an hour. Therefore, unless you are in a life-or-death situation, do not activate it at will."

……so much?

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi looked at each other and were both shocked by the huge amount of consumption.

You have to know that even for a Jindan-stage immortal cultivation family like the Zhou family, the total revenue from various businesses each year is only tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, which can only sustain this treasure for a few days.

Zhou Tianyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, this treasure itself has a thirty-six-hour activation time. If it exceeds this time, we need to replenish spiritual energy into it..."

"That's good!"

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi both breathed a sigh of relief.

But what they don't know is that the real energy source of this thing is actually Gray Mist Coin.

Low-grade spirit stones are merely secondary substitutes for grey fog coins, so their consumption is so huge.

The full name of this treasure is [Large Space Barrier Core]. It is worth twelve thousand Gray Mist Coins in the Pavilion of Rare Treasures. It is something that only time travelers with affiliated forces will buy.

Zhao Lihe had bought one before, so he recommended it to Zhou Tianyi.

In view of the previous attack on Qingli Island, Zhou Tianyi gritted his teeth and bought this thing.

In the tests of the Travelers Alliance, the space barrier activated by this item was strong enough to withstand any attack below level six.

Converted into the realm of the world of immortal cultivation, it is the cultivator at the Void Refinement Stage and below.

In the Tianhua Realm, with such a space barrier core, Qingli Island has become a tortoise shell that is absolutely impossible to break through. Unless a cultivator from the upper realm brings treasures or talismans to the earth, it is impossible to attack Qingli Island head-on.

However, the stalemate period before this was enough for Zhou Tianyi to recruit people from the alliance.

"And this..."

Zhou Tianyi took out a crystal ball, inside which a strange-looking monster was sleeping.

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi looked at it carefully but still couldn't recognize what kind of monster it was.

Zhou Tianyi did not explain, but took the two of them to the back mountain outside the temple, and in a relatively spacious valley, he released the monster sleeping in the crystal ball.

In an instant, a huge hairy beast that was 38 meters tall and weighed more than 10,000 tons appeared in front of everyone.

It has an appearance similar to that of a mammoth, but its body structure is completely different from that of a mammoth. It is more like a prehistoric giant sloth, with two huge and hard teeth like ivory growing on both sides of its mouth, claws as sharp as swords, hind legs that can stand up, and the serrated spine on its back is made of indestructible granite and reinforced by metals and minerals.

In addition, this monster has thick brown hair on its body, and exudes a strange but extremely comfortable aura.

There is no doubt that this mammoth-like monster is the Behemoth in the Godzilla world!

Since Qingli Island is located in the Starry Sea, Zhou Tianyi originally planned to purchase the water monster [Leviathan] from the [Divine Beast Pavilion].

But later, he discovered that there was a record of the "Wood Aura Interaction Experiment" in the information of "Behemoth".

Zhou Tianyi quickly retrieved the experimental record and discovered that [Behemoth] showed a very strong affinity for spiritual energy in the experiment. The natural radiation energy in its body was even integrated with the spiritual energy to form a special kind of radiation spiritual energy.

This situation has never happened to any other monster.

Thinking of the fact that the radiation from [Behemoth] can make plants grow wildly and restore the natural ecology, Zhou Tianyi was instantly moved and bought this Behemoth cub...

That’s right, what Zhou Tianyi bought was a Behemoth cub that was only eight months old.

It is the product of Kunlun Group's [Monster Cloning and Breeding Program] and is also the first batch of second-generation monsters since the opening of [Divine Beast Pavilion].

Compared to the first-generation monsters, these second-generation cubs are more powerful, have higher potential, and most importantly, are more affordable.

Zhou Tianyi only spent four thousand Gray Mist Coins to buy this Behemoth cub.

"This beast is a prehistoric species called the Long-tusked Mammoth. Although it looks ferocious, it is actually gentle and has amazing potential. It has a strong affinity for wood-type spiritual energy..."

Zhou Tianyi was talking nonsense in a serious tone.

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi were stunned when they heard this.

However, after sensing the aura of this so-called primitive alien species, Zhou Shengwei couldn't help but doubt: "Is this really a primitive alien species? Why is it not even a first-level monster in my perception?"

Zhou Tianyi smiled and said, "Of course, it's only eight months old, and it has been staying in the secret realm before, and has never absorbed spiritual energy."

"…Only eight months old?!"

"And you've never absorbed spiritual energy?!"

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi were filled with astonishment. When they looked at the sleeping tusked mammoth again, the feeling suddenly changed.

A half-year-old demon beast, which has never absorbed any spiritual energy, has grown so tall. Just based on its flesh and blood body, it is estimated that it can be compared with a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With such a powerful physical talent, he is indeed worthy of being a prehistoric alien species!

The more Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi watched, the happier they became.

Zhou Shengzhi quickly asked: "Nephew Tianyi, have you signed a contract with it?"

Zhou Tianyi smiled and replied: "No contract has been signed."

Zhou Shengzhi frowned: "...Why?"

Zhou Tianyi turned his head and looked at the 'young beast' that was nearly 40 meters tall, and said with a smile: "This child is still young, and has been sleeping half of the time before. He is very ignorant of everything in the world. I plan to enlighten him and train him as a member of the Zhou family. Now I even have a name for him, Zhou Yuanmeng, what do you think?"

Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi were both stunned when they heard this.

The latter frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "You are the head of the family, you have the final say."

Zhou Tianyi smiled and said, "That's good. Second Uncle, Third Uncle, go to the spiritual farm and find a first-order wood spiritual vein to transplant. Then, open up a spiritual farm of about ten acres where Yuan Meng is sleeping, and plant some of the various spiritual plant seeds in the clan's inventory."

"Also, Third Uncle, you practice wood-based skills and have worked as a spiritual plant master in the market during the foundation-building period. I would like to trouble you to stay here for a while and take care of the spiritual fields while taking care of Yuan Meng..."

Zhou Tianyi kept on talking, but the two people opposite him listened with fiery eyes.

"Yier, you mean, this monster... Bah, can our Yuan Meng ripen spiritual plants?"
