Chapter 428: Three Radiance Divine Water (4K)

His voice had just fallen when a faint voice sounded.

"One million six hundred thousand!"

The crowd turned toward the sound, and in an instant their gaze fell once more into the private room of Jiazi Number Nine.

"Again him?"

The Nine Peaks God Monarch frowned slightly to himself.

He felt it was somewhat troublesome.

He felt the other party was nothing but a troublemaker.

After thinking, he simply spoke out:

"Two million!"

"Two million two hundred thousand!"

But immediately afterward, from another direction, a languid voice sounded.

As this voice rang out, the Nine Peaks God Monarch's eyes flickered, and he looked toward the direction of the sound.

This voice came from Jiazi Room Thirteen.

Inside the private chamber, Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, merely continuing to raise the bid.

"Two million five hundred thousand!"

The amount of his increase was also not small.

The Nine Peaks God Monarch's expression grew slightly solemn; he inwardly felt it was troublesome!

After thinking, a flash of stern light passed through his eyes!

"Three million five hundred thousand!"

This price immediately drew the sideways glances of many high-level cultivators!

This price had already far surpassed the previous second-tier earth-attribute immortal method, 《Central Wu Earth Great Vitality》!

Clearly, the Nine Peaks God Monarch was determined to obtain this second-tier divine technique!

Yet another voice remained languidly:

"Three million six hundred thousand!"

Inside the Jiazi Thirteen private chamber, a young and handsome dragon immortal at this moment had his expression turn solemn.

He came from Tianfeng Sea, and was a true immortal of the dragon race.

His name was Ao Qing.

Tianfeng Sea and Qingping Sea are the two major orthodox dragon clans of this realm, though Qingping Sea is descended from true dragons born in this realm, while the Tianfeng Sea dragon clan is said to have originated from the heavenly realm beyond the world in ancient times.

Therefore, the Tianfeng Sea dragon clan is not particularly favored by the cultivators of this realm, but neither is it strongly rejected.

However, between the two dragon clans, the Qingping dragon clan is more popular, especially within the State and Ancestors Dao.

The Qingping Dragon Palace is also recognized as the foremost among the water realm deities.

Inside the private chamber, Zhang Jian gave a slight, light laugh.

He directly said:

"Four million five hundred thousand!"

He directly increased the bid by over nine hundred thousand.

The Nine Peaks God Monarch wanted a quick decision, to intimidate others, but clearly Zhang Jian would not easily give up this second-tier divine technique.

The transmission of Daoist divine techniques is exceedingly rare, with only the State and Ancestors Dao possessing an orthodox lineage.

But even within the State and Ancestors Dao, obtaining a transcendent divine technique comes at a cost.

Inside the private chamber, sweat had already begun to bead on the Nine Peaks God Monarch's forehead.

Four million five hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals had already approached his limit.

Even with the wealth of a second-grade divine minister serving as an earth-element patrol envoy, it would be difficult to easily produce such a vast fortune.

After thinking, the Nine Peaks God Monarch still decided to make one final effort.

"Four million eight hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals!"

But Zhang Jian showed no hesitation, directly throwing out another number.

"Five million one hundred fifty thousand top-grade spirit crystals!"

His voice was calm and undisturbed.

Yet the Nine Peaks God Monarch's face was grim, his posture somewhat slumped as he sat inside the private chamber.

He had already done his utmost.

On the other side, Ao Qing slightly furrowed his brow.

Five million plus spirit crystals, plus a ten percent commission, amounted to nearly six million top-grade spirit crystals to purchase a second-tier divine technique—this alone represented an overcharge of at least two to three million.

His eyes flickered; using such a fortune to buy a second-tier divine technique, even he felt the pinch.

But after thinking, he still decided to continue bidding.

If he could obtain a second-tier divine technique, it would be of great significance to him as well.

"Five million five hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals!"

His cold, clear voice echoed through the hall.

"The honored guest in the Jiazi Thirteen VIP chamber bids five million five hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals—any fellow cultivator bidding higher?!"

On the auction platform, the dragon elder's face had already become excited.

This price was truly beyond his imagination.

He then immediately shouted: "Five million five hundred thousand, first time! Five million five hundred thousand, second time!"

Inside the Jiazi Nine private chamber, Zhang Jian's expression remained calm as he continued to bid.

"Five hundred is eight hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals!"

This also gradually approaches his limit price.

If the opponent bids over six million, he will decide to give up.

Although he is not lacking in spirit crystals, he will not be a fool.

Six million top-grade spirit crystals are enough to purchase two second-tier immortal arts.

Although it may not compare to this rare second-tier divine technique.

However, the cost-performance ratio is far superior.

At worst, if there is an opportunity, he will go elsewhere to seek the inheritance of divine techniques.

In Room Jia Thirteen, Ao Qing had a blank expression; this price was already his psychological limit.

Six million plus top-grade spirit crystals—he could certainly produce them, but it does not align with his own interests and has already exceeded his tolerance limit.

Of course, he also does not know whether this is the opponent's limit price.

At this moment, he also chose to give up.

At this time, on the auction stage, the gold-robed elder's smile had already stretched to the corner of his mouth.

After shouting several times in succession and confirming no one else would bid, he loudly declared.

"Five hundred eighty thousand top-grade spirit crystals—deal! Congratulations to the esteemed guest in Room Jia Nine for securing this precious second-tier divine technique!"

As his voice fell, many gazes in the hall turned toward Room Jia Nine.

Having bid twice consecutively, this made many high-ranking cultivators curious about the identity of the cultivator in Room Jia Nine.

Inside the private room, Zhang Jian, upon hearing this, also relaxed his breath, a hint of smile appearing in his eyes.

Regardless, obtaining this second-tier divine technique is greatly beneficial to his cultivation.

He will gradually master the various powers brought by the position of the State and Land Emperor; this is a good start.

After the auction of this second-tier divine technique concluded, the next items were several heavenly and earthly divine objects.

There is also one heavenly and earthly treasure.

The value of heavenly and earthly divine objects varies—some lower ones are hardly different from the Taiyin Star Soul Zhang Jian obtained.

This auction includes Chihun Copper Mother, Qingkong Spirit, Wulei Divine Sand, and Xiantian Fengzhu Pearl, among others.

The Chihun Copper Mother is a renowned celestial material, the main ingredient for refining immortal treasures.

It is a mythical divine iron, precious in value; if it falls into the hands of some immortal sects or lineages, refining a first-tier immortal treasure is effortless.

It can even serve as the main material for second- or third-tier immortal treasures.

The Qingkong Spirit requires over a million years of nurturing; its innate yin wood origin even condenses into a spiritual beast—whether tamed or refined, it greatly enhances magical power and origin, offering immense help to wood-attribute true immortals.

Qingyun Zhenjun represents the Tongshan Dao lineage, which has set its sights on this item.

The Wulei Divine Sand, meanwhile, is a heavenly material and earthly treasure born from the nurturing of extreme thunder spirits.

The Xiantian Fengzhu Pearl is close to heavenly and earthly treasure-level innate spiritual material; it is the main ingredient for refining the Dingfeng Dan, a mythical immortal treasure.

This Dingfeng Dan, a mythical immortal treasure, can restrain most wind-attribute immortal arts in heaven and earth.

It is also a coveted object among numerous immortal sects, lineages, and true immortal families.

Zhang Jian merely glanced at these heavenly and earthly divine object-level spiritual materials; he did not find them particularly rare.

However, he had some thoughts about the final climax item.

That is the heavenly and earthly treasure—Three Drops of Three Radiance Divine Water.

The Three Radiance Divine Water is formed from the creation of the sun, moon, and star three radiance; it can revive the dead, restore flesh to white bones, especially stimulating the vitality of spiritual roots, possessing a uniquely advantageous effect.

Even the spiritual roots born of heaven and earth benefit equally—dead becomes alive!

In his Haojing City Pure Land Blessed Land, there are still two treasures that have not yet taken root and sprouted.

One is an old tree stump discovered in the Evening Moon Cave Heaven.

The other is the peach pit left after eating a six-thousand-year-old flat peach.

If he can purchase these three drops of Three Radiance Divine Water, not only will that old tree stump revive from withered to sprouting, but that peach pit also has hope of being planted and growing.

That is a heavenly palace spiritual root.

If it can be grown, it can serve as the stabilizing spiritual root of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Zhang Jian watched as several major powers of immortal sects and lineages fiercely competed for the Xiantian Fengzhu Pearl.

Even the Tongshan Dao lineage is among them.

Besides the Tongshan Dao lineage, there are also several other transcendent major powers, such as Nanhua Sect, Jiuyuan Sect, Tianyi Sect, and other ancient lineages.

These ancient lineages are established on other divine continents, but many, like the Tongshan Dao lineage, have origins existing in the outer realm heavenly realms, or like the Qingping Dragon Palace and Tianfeng Hai Long Palace, they have immense backing in the outer realm.

However, the Qingping Sea is near the Dongxuan Divine Continent, and the advantage still lies with the Tongshan Dao lineage.

Relying on vast wealth, after securing the Qingkong Spirit, Qingyun Zhenjun acquired the Xiantian Fengzhu Pearl with approximately nine million top-grade spirit crystals.

At this moment, when the jade bottle containing the "Three Radiance Divine Water" was taken out, the dragon elder on the stage also adopted a cautious expression; his eyes gazed upon the field, welcoming countless fervent gazes, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoists, the seniors must already know the origin of this climax item—correct, it is the water-attribute heavenly and earthly treasure, Three Radiance Divine Water!"

"It gathers the creation of the sun, moon, and star three radiance from heaven and earth; it comes from the outer star sea, and is the harvest of a dragon ancestor who wandered the galaxy; our Dragon King also paid a great price to let this dragon ancestor agree to place this item as the climax object at this Sea King auction!"

"Its value, fellow seniors, should be perfectly clear!"

This dragon elder gazed at the bottle emitting three-colored light from the heavenly and earthly treasure, his eyes also showing some infatuation; his deep voice continued to echo in the auction hall.

"The minimum starting bid for this item is nine million top-grade spirit crystals—this is that ancestor's requirement, and each bid increase must not be less than one million!"

"The opportunity to encounter such a mythical object occurs only once; fellow Daoists, if you are willing, you may begin bidding; if no one bids, this item will soon leave Qingping Sea, be returned to the outer realm, and be auctioned by other transregional merchant guilds!"

Upon hearing this, many high-ranking cultivators in the hall underwent drastic changes in expression.

The starting bid of nine million top-grade spirit crystals has already directly discouraged many loose cultivators and the forces of major immortal sects and lineages.

Nine million top-grade spirit crystals—even for those major immortal sects and lineages, this is a tremendous fortune, enough to harm muscles and bones.

Unless one does not care about the development of the Dao lineage for the next thousand years, how could one possibly allocate such a large sum of wealth to purchase this item?

But in the end, someone still spoke up.

The elder of the Yu family who had remained silent until now, Grandmother Golden Dragon, spoke.

"One thousand two hundred million, my Yu family is willing to offer one thousand two hundred million top-grade spirit crystals, and I ask all fellow Daoists for your convenience!"

Her weathered face turned toward the surroundings, her eyes carrying a hint of sincerity.

Upon hearing this, a light chuckle sounded.

"To think one thousand two hundred million could buy such a mythic heaven-and-earth treasure spoken of in legends—your Yu family's prestige is not worth that much!"

"One thousand three hundred million!"

Upon hearing this, Grandmother Golden Dragon's expression changed; she instantly turned toward the sound, only to see in a flash that the True Lord of Infinite Light had directly manifested his true form within the private chamber—he wore a deep blue robe, his countenance calm, and upon seeing Grandmother Golden Dragon's gaze, he even waved at her.

This only made Grandmother Golden Dragon furious enough to grit her teeth.

Opposite her, another voice immediately followed.

"The fellow Daoist from the Tongshan Dao Lineage speaks correctly—though the Yu family is an ancient holy king lineage, every lineage has its holy king ancestors; my Ji family offers one thousand five hundred million!"

Yet we saw a figure clad in earth-yellow robes, resembling a celestial noble, appear, his body surrounded by a thick layer of immortal Dao resonance.

This is a true immortal.

Moreover, he is the true immortal of the Ji family, the holy king lineage.

The Ji family ranks among the foremost of the eight holy king lineages, possessing immense strength.

However, rumors say that in recent years the Ji family has gradually shifted its focus beyond the realm, becoming rather low-key, but no one can deny the dominance of this holy king lineage.

At this moment, the True Lord of Infinite Light exchanged a glance with the True Lord of Qingyun, slightly furrowing his brow.

After continuously purchasing the Spirit of the Azure Void and the Innate Wind Soul Pearl, their sect's available wealth has become limited.

Furthermore, the Three Lights Divine Water differs from the Spirit of the Azure Void and the Innate Wind Soul Pearl.

Buying the Spirit of the Azure Void and the Innate Wind Soul Pearl could allow the Tongshan Dao Lineage to gain two additional true immortal-level experts within the next thousand years.

But the Three Lights Divine Water is not a necessary item.

"One thousand eight hundred million!"

At this moment, a voice came from the upper seats.

Many high-ranking cultivators turned toward the sound.

"Again, Room Nine of the Jia character—just who is inside Jia character Room Nine?"

At this moment, many high-ranking cultivators could not help but feel curious.

Previously, the owner of Jia character Room Nine had already made two moves in succession, purchasing two second-tier immortal techniques worth nearly ten million.

And now, he casually throws out one thousand eight hundred million top-grade spirit crystals.

This is simply astonishing!

Meanwhile, in the shadows, the Azure Green Dragon Lord and his dragon consort exchanged glances, their eyes also showing some astonishment.

Unlike others, they are very clear about who is inside Jia character Room Nine!

That Great Xia Emperor actually possesses such wealth?

"It seems this Great Xia Emperor still harbors great secrets!"

The Dragon Mother's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color.

The Azure Green Dragon Lord slightly waved his hand and said.

"Dragon Empress, you had better not meddle!"

His eyes, somewhat stern, fixed upon the Dragon Empress; this gaze made her feel somewhat apprehensive, her mouth opening and closing, but she ultimately held back.

Meanwhile, the Ji family true immortal's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he bid again.

"Two thousand million!"

"Two thousand two hundred million!"

Zhang Jian's face remained calm, his eyes showing no trace of regret.

If these two thousand plus million spirit crystals could enable the flat peach to take root and sprout, then no matter what, the Zhang family would profit!

At this moment, the surrounding guest halls had already fallen into silence.

On the auction platform, the dragon clan elder at this moment already had sweat on his forehead, his Dao heart surging.

"Two thousand two hundred million top-grade spirit crystals—first time, second time; if no one bids again, this item shall belong to the guest of Jia character Room Nine! Two thousand two hundred million—third time!"

"Congratulations to the guest of Jia character Room Nine for successfully acquiring the climax item of our Sea King auction—Three Lights Divine Water!"

"Congratulations to this guest!"

At the end, his voice had become nearly hoarse.

Seeing this, the Ji family true immortal's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he let out a cold laugh, and did not speak again.

The high-ranking cultivators of the various major immortal sects and Dao lineages at this moment all watched coldly, their faces solemn.

They know that after the Sea King market concludes, there will likely still be a wave of turmoil.

The Three Lights Divine Water is simply too precious.
