When Xia Pingan raised his paddle for the seventh time, the price of this "Tang Taizong dreamt of Xue Rengui" Realm Summoning Pearl had already exceeded 7800 gold coins.
To be honest, the price had already exceeded Xia Pingan's expectations. Initially, Xia Pingan thought that a Realm Pearl of a Dream Master could be obtained with at most four to five thousand gold coins. He did not expect this Realm Pearl to be sold for such a high price.
Xia Pingan gritted his teeth as he increased the price. This was because the temptation of this Realm Pearl was too great. Once it was integrated, other than becoming a Dream Master, he could also obtain the summoning position of the "White Robed General". This temptation was irresistible to Xia Pingan.
The White Robed General that the auctioneer mentioned should be Xue Rengui.
Xia Pingan was also very familiar with the legend of "Tang Taizong dreamt of Xue Rengui". Hence, it was easy for him to integrate it.
But...
In this auction, the rich were the lords!
The person who shouted 10,000 gold coins was sitting in front of the auction house. This bid was higher than the previous one by 2200 gold coins. 10,000 gold coins for a Realm Pearl had directly broken through the psychological bottom line of many people.
Xia Pingan looked at the bidder and saw that the bidder was a black-clothed old man with a cold face.
There was silence in the auction hall. After the old man made his bid, he stood up and looked around. He blew at his beard and took out a thick stack of gold notes. He lifted his head and continued, "Our Young Master has just obtained the spiritual will crystal of the Dream Master's Realm Pearl. Hence, our Young Master is determined to get the Dream Master's Realm Pearl today. I have 100,000 gold notes with me. If anyone wants to compete with me, please do not hesitate to name your price. We can all compete..."
Looking at the arrogant old man, Xia Pingan fell silent and quickly assessed the situation in his heart.
He did not know the identity of the old man, but the Young Master behind the old man was definitely not an ordinary person if he could get a servant or subordinate to bring 100,000 gold coins to auction off a Realm Pearl.
He only had slightly more than 20,000 gold coins with him.
Using 20,000 gold coins to buy a Realm Pearl was too much of a loss. It was definitely not worth it to him. Furthermore, after raising the auction price of the Realm Pearl, he would not be able to obtain the Realm Pearl. At the same time, he would also provoke an unknown enemy. This transaction was too much of a loss. It was completely harming others without benefiting himself.
After assessing the situation in his heart, Xia Pingan shook his head and wisely chose to give up.
The other people who were vying for the Realm Bead earlier were no fools. After assessing the situation, they gave up one by one.
After waiting for a few seconds, the auctioneer on the stage began began to speak.
"Is there anyone else who is willing to bid higher? If not, then three, two, one..." The auctioneer knocked the wooden gavel on the stage. "Congratulations to buyer number 112, this Dream Master Twin Realm Pearl is yours!"
After hearing the sound, the auctioneer of the Realm realm realm Realm realm realm Pearl.
Xia Pingan smiled bitterly and felt a little disappointed. Damn it, he did not expect it to be so difficult to bid for a Dream Master's Realm Pearl.
It seemed like he could not do it this time. He would have to find another opportunity in the future.
In the next 20 minutes, a few more Realm Pearls were auctioned off in the auction house. Following that, a few Spiritual Sense Crystals were auctioned off. Xia Pingan did not make a move.
The Spiritual Sense Crystals were useless to him and the Realm Pearls in the auction house were priced very high. To Xia Pingan, who had limited funds, it was not the most cost-effective choice. Hence, he gave up on it.
Just when Xia Pingan thought that he would not get anything from this auction, a lady walked up to the stage and whispered a few words to the auctioneer. Following that, she left the stage.
"Let me tell everyone a piece of news. Our auction house has just received a commission from a client. That client is a bounty hunter and he has just obtained a Dream Master's Realm Pearl from the sea. As that client is in urgent need of money, our auction house has decided to add a Dream Master's Realm Pearl to the auction house. As for the information about the Realm Pearl, please look at the screen beside me..." Following the auctioneer's introduction, another Realm Pearl appeared on the screen. Looking at the dark red Realm Pearl, Xia Pingan was shocked.
This was because on the new Dream Master's Realm Pearl, there were four words in Xiaozhuan, "Yan Ying Interprets Dreams".
"Among the many Dream Master's Realm Pearls, this Realm Pearl is rather special. Those who are familiar with Dream Master's Realm Pearls should know that this Realm Pearl has another name, the Death Dream Master's Realm Pearl. It is one of the most dangerous Dream Master's Realm Pearls and it is not as famous as the twin Dream Master's Realm Pearl. At the same time, the mortality rate of fusing with this Realm Pearl is extremely high and it is the highest among all the Dream Master's Realm Pearls. Without the corresponding spiritual will crystal, the mortality rate of fusing with this Realm Pearl is as high as 35% and the success rate is extremely low. Till now, we know that the successful cases of fusing with this Realm Pearl were all done with spiritual will crystals.
The auctioneer on the stage introduced the Realm Pearl in a very serious manner.
With the auctioneer's introduction, Xia Pingan immediately understood. The historical Yan Ying, also known as Yan Zi, was famous for helping Qi Jinggong resolve his dreams twice. The most dangerous dream he had resolved was the dream he had resolved during Qi Jinggong's expedition to the Song Kingdom. At that time, Yan Ying had gone with the army. If the dream he had resolved wasn't correct, the Qi Kingdom's army and Yan Zi would have been finished. This should also be the reason for the high mortality rate after the Realm Pearl's fusion failed.
"The starting bid for this Dream Master's Realm Pearl is 1500 gold coins. Each bid increment must not be lower than 50 gold coins. The auction starts now!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Xia Pingan started to raise his paddle.
Compared to the Twin Realm Pearl of "Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Xue Rengui", this Realm Pearl of "Yan Ying's Dream Interpretation" had a high death rate and an extremely low success rate. It was obvious that the popularity of this Realm Pearl of "Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Xue Rengui" was not very good. Many of the bidders who were chasing after the Twin Realm Pearl of "Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Xue Rengui" only raised their paddles a few times before losing interest in this Realm Pearl.
After Xia Pingan raised his paddle a few times, the price of this Realm Pearl of the Dream Master's Realm Pearl was raised to 2650 gold coins by Xia Pingan.
"2650 gold coins. Is there anyone who wants to go higher? Is there anyone who wants to go higher..." The auctioneer on the stage looked at the person who raised his paddle to 2600 gold coins. That person hesitated for a moment and did not raise his paddle in the end.
"3... 2... 1. Pa! Congratulations to auctioneer 1569 for obtaining this Realm Pearl of the Dream Master's Realm Pearl at 2650 gold coins!"
Hearing the sound of the wooden mallet on the auction stage, Xia Pingan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
2650 gold coins. This number was considered exaggerated. It was the most expensive Realm Pearl that Xia Pingan had ever bought. The price of this Realm Pearl of the Dream Master's Realm Pearl was indeed a little too expensive.
But luckily, he obtained it!
20 minutes later, the auction ended.
Xia Pingan used his admission ticket and went to the auction house's checkout counter. After paying 2650 gold coins, he obtained the Realm Pearl of the Dream Master's Realm Pearl.
Walking out of the Roc King Auction House, the night market outside was still bustling with activity.
Using 2650 gold coins to obtain this Realm Pearl was more or less enough. Xia Pingan did not want to spend more money and attract more attention. Hence, after walking out of the auction house, he stood by the roadside and prepared to hail a taxi to return to his rented courtyard. He wanted to integrate with this Realm Pearl and become a Dream Master first.
"Mister, please wait for a moment..." Hurried footsteps and a man's voice could be heard from behind. Xia Pingan turned around and saw a fat man in his forties who was panting as he chased after him.
That fat man was dressed in shiny clothes and had two beautiful moustaches above his lips. He even wore a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles and looked like a respectable businessman.
"Are you calling me?" Xia Pingan turned around and asked.
"My name is Lu Linjie..." That man smiled and took out a pure silver business card box. He took out a gold-stamped business card and passed it to Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan took a look at the business card. The name Lu Linjie was printed on the business card. At the same time, it also showed his identity - the shopkeeper of Fu An Broker.
A broker was an intermediary company. But what was this Fu An Broker for? Xia Pingan was puzzled.
Lu Linjie smiled, "Just now in the auction house, I saw this Mister raising his sign to auction a Realm Pearl of a Dream Master. Does Mister have plans to become a Dream Master in Shangjing City?"
Xia Pingan immediately became alert, "What does it have to do with you whether I become a Dream Master or not?"
"Master, please don't misunderstand. I am actually a broker who serves the dream masters in the capital. You should know Master Shuiyue from Carefree Inn right? Master Shuiyue was one of my earliest customers. I was the one who introduced him to his first customer!"
That Lu Linjie started to explain to Xia Pingan, "In Shangjing City, there are many people who want to rely on the Dream Master industry to earn money. Hence, the competition in the Dream Master industry is very intense. Mister may not know this, but just in Tianyuan Bridge Night Market alone, there are more than 10 Dream Masters. However, the only one who really earns money is Master Shui Yue. In other places in Shangjing City, there are many Dream Masters, if not 800, there are at least 500. However, there are not many who earn as much as Master Shui Yue. For those Dream Masters who do not earn money, other than their own abilities in divination, most of them do not have customers. Especially those who are new to the industry, they are not well-known and it is even harder for them to earn money. If Mister becomes a Dream Master, you can look for me and I can introduce customers to you."
After hearing what Lu Linjie said, Xia Pingan understood. So this Lu Linjie was introducing customers to the Dream Masters in Shangjing City. It seemed that the Dream Divination business in Shangjing City had developed to a considerable scale. There was even a broker who brought in customers for the Dream Masters.
"Alright, if there is a need, I will look for you!" Xia Pingan kept the name card. When he saw a rental carriage coming to a stop, he did not chat much with Lu Linjie. After which, he boarded the carriage and instructed the coachman to go to Changle Alley at the foot of Ping Mountain.
On the way, the carriage passed by Carefree Restaurant once again!
Looking at the queue of carriages in the small square outside Carefree Restaurant, Xia Pingan was even more certain that being a Dream Master was a good way to earn money.
After tonight, he would be able to integrate with this "Yan Ying Dream Interpretation" Realm Pearl and make a living in Shangjing City.
