The Origin-Reaching Pill was essential for breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Stage.
In a word: without it, the breakthrough was difficult.
That made this pill very important.
And because it was important, it attracted attention. Many sects and factions in the Cultivation World cultivated the main ingredients for Origin-Reaching Pills.
As a result, there was no shortage of ingredients for these pills.
Important, but not scarce.
Otherwise, where had all those Golden Core Stage cultivators in the Cultivation World come from?
If the price were truly outrageous, Daoist Nun Feng could not have afforded one either, could she?
With all these factors combined, the price of an Origin-Reaching Pill was not particularly outrageous.
Besides, the one at this auction was only low-grade, so after Wang Dun called out the steep price of fifty thousand, no one raised the bid.
"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist on obtaining this Origin-Reaching Pill. Someone will come to settle the transaction with you shortly!"
"As this item was consigned for auction, there is a five-percent commission. Please prepare a total of fifty-two thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a staff member brought the Origin-Reaching Pill over to Wang Dun.
Wang Dun took forty thousand spirit stones out of his pocket, then winked at He Pingsheng. "Little brother, cover the rest for me. I'll pay you back once I have the spirit stones!"
He Pingsheng nodded and took twelve thousand five hundred spirit stones out of his Storage Bag.
His reasoning for lending them to Wang Dun was simple.
On the one hand, they were fellow disciples of the Great Void Sect; on the other, he valued Wang Dun's strength.
Wang Dun ranked in the top five on the Dragon Roar Ranking. Who knew
