The hefty starting price of 50,000 Dragon Coins for the evolutionary medicine sent shockwaves through the crowd. This effectively deterred a significant portion of potential buyers, leaving only wealthy young masters in the running.
For most, 50,000 was already a fortune. Even if they could afford it initially, they wouldn't be able to keep up with the inevitable bidding war that would drive the price even higher. With a few rounds of back-and-forth, everyone anticipated the price to reach close to 100,000—a sum far beyond the reach of many.
This realization forced even the remaining contenders to tread cautiously.
One brave soul, however, broke the silence, raising their placard. The allure of increased combat strength proved too tempting to resist, despite the hefty price tag. After all, this was arguably the best supplement available.
