As his voice had just faded, another voice rose faintly.
"One million six hundred thousand!"
The crowd followed the sound, their gaze once again falling on the private room marked Jiǎ No. Nine.
"It’s him again?"
The Nine Peaks Divine Monarch frowned to himself.
He found it somewhat troublesome.
He felt the other party was just being a troublemaker.
He thought about it, then directly called out:
"Two million!"
"Two million two hundred thousand!"
But then from another direction, a lazy voice rang out.
This voice echoed suddenly, and the Nine Peaks Divine Monarch’s gaze shifted towards where the sound came from.
The sound came from Jiǎ No. Thirteen.
Inside the private room, Zhang Jian remained unchanged, merely continuing to bid.
"Two million five hundred thousand!"
His bid increment was also quite significant.
The Nine Peaks Divine Monarch’s expression tensed slightly, feeling the situation was tricky!
Thinking again, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes!
"Three million five hundred thousand!"
This price immediately drew the attention of numerous High-Tier Cultivators!
Such a price far exceeded the previous Tier Two Earth-Attribute Immortal Technique "Central Earth Yuan Qi"!
Clearly, the Nine Peaks Divine Monarch was determined to obtain this Tier Two Divine Technique!
Yet another voice maintained its languor:
"Three million six hundred thousand!"
Inside the Jiǎ No. Thirteen room, a young, handsome Dragon Race True Immortal had now composed his expression.
He hailed from the Celestial Wind Sea, a notable Dragon Race True Immortal.
His name was Ao Qing.
The Celestial Wind Sea and the Qingping Sea are considered the two orthodox Dragon Races in this realm, but Qingping Sea is recognized as the native True Dragon descendants of this local realm, whereas the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race is rumored to originate from the Outer Heaven Realm during ancient times.
As such, the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race is not highly regarded by the local cultivation forces, yet they aren’t entirely shunned either.
Between the two Dragon Races, the Qingping Dragon Race enjoys better acceptance, especially within the Sheji Divine Dao.
The Qingping Dragon Palace is also acknowledged as the leading power among the Water Realm Gods.
Inside the private room, Zhang Jian let out a light chuckle.
He directly said:
"Four million five hundred thousand!"
He increased the bid by over ninety thousand immediately.
The Nine Peaks Divine Monarch wanted to settle quickly, to intimidate others, but apparently, Zhang Jian was not inclined to easily surrender this Tier Two Divine Technique.
Divine Dao Divine Techniques are exceptionally rare, with legitimate inheritances present only within the Sheji Divine Dao.
Even within the Sheji Divine Dao, obtaining a Super Tier Divine Technique comes with substantial costs.
Inside the room, beads of sweat began forming on the Nine Peaks Divine Monarch’s forehead.
Four million five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals were nearly reaching his limit.
Even with the wealth of an Earth Element Patrol Envoy Second-Grade God, assembling such a large sum was not undertaken lightly.
Thinking again, the Nine Peaks Divine Monarch decided to make one final effort.
"Four million eight hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals!"
But Zhang Jian showed no hesitation, immediately offering another figure.
"Five million one hundred fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals!"
His voice was calm, devoid of any fluctuation.
Yet the Nine Peaks Divine Monarch looked distressed, sitting with a sagged posture inside the room.
He had done his best.
On the other side, Ao Qing furrowed his brow slightly.
Over five hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, plus a ten percent commission, meant nearly six hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals to acquire a Tier Two Divine Technique, an overcharge by at least two to three hundred thousand.
His eyes flickered, purchasing a Tier Two Divine Technique with such a sum, even for him, was painful.
But after thinking it over, he decided to continue bidding.
Acquiring a Tier Two Divine Technique would be immensely valuable to him.
"Five hundred fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals!"
His cold voice echoed across the hall.
"The guest in the Jiǎ No. Thirteen VIP room bids five hundred fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals; are there any cultivators offering higher?!"
On the selling platform, the Dragon Race Elder’s face was already filled with excitement.
The price exceeded all expectations.
Then he called out immediately: "Five hundred fifty thousand going once! Five hundred fifty thousand going twice!"
In the Jiǎ No. Nine room, Zhang Jian remained calm, continuing to bid.
"Five hundred eighty thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals!"
This was also approaching his price ceiling.
If the other party exceeded six hundred thousand, he decided to withdraw.
Even though Spirit Crystals weren’t scarce for him, he wouldn’t act as a fool.
Six hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals would be enough to purchase two Tier Two Immortal Techniques.
Although these might not match this rare Tier Two Divine Technique.
The cost-effectiveness was vastly superior.
If need be, he could seek other opportunities elsewhere to find Divine Technique inheritances.
Inside the Jiǎ No. Thirteen room, Ao Qing’s face remained impassive; this price was also his psychological limit.
Over six hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals could technically be within his reach, yet it didn’t align with his interests, surpassing his tolerance threshold.
Moreover, he was unsure if this was the opponent’s ceiling price.
So he decided to withdraw.
Now on the auction platform, the Golden Robe Elder’s smile stretched to his cheeks.
After several calls, confirming no further bids, he loudly declared.
"Five hundred eighty thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals; congratulations to the guest in the Jiǎ No. Nine room for acquiring this precious Tier Two Divine Technique!"
With his words, numerous eyes in the hall turned towards the Jiǎ No. Nine room.
Continuously bidding twice, many High-Tier Cultivators were intrigued by the identity of the cultivator in the Jiǎ No. Nine room.
Inside the room, Zhang Jian exhaled lightly, a trace of a smile appearing in his eyes.
Ultimately, acquiring this Tier Two Divine Technique was highly beneficial for his cultivation.
He would gradually harness the multitude of powers associated with the Sheji Emperor Position, a promising start.
Following the auction of this Tier Two Divine Technique, several more Heaven and Earth Divine Objects were next.
