Auspicious clouds gathered, their rosy glow shimmering across the sky.
Miao Ne nearly gaped in wonder.
"A-auspicious omen? Who brought this auspicious omen down?"
When she'd studied at the academy, her teacher had told her that auspicious omens weren't all that rare. If a person was lucky enough in their lifetime, they might witness one with their own eyes. It was said that their liege had brought down auspicious omens from Heaven several times, each spectacle grander than the last. Her teacher had shared in the good fortune, too, bathing in the rosy glow. For scholars, that glow was an incredible tonic; perhaps refining one's Literary Heart could even raise its grade.
Even if it didn't, it could still broaden one's meridians and sea of consciousness.
A single bath in its light could be worth more than half a year of hard cultivation.
And that was only for those who'd done nothing but bask in the reflected glory. The person who brought down the auspicious omen stood to gain far more. They might even attain sudden enlightenment in a single breath, going from a block of wood to a top-tier genius in one leap. Their strength couldn't be underestimated. Miao Ne gazed up at the auspicious omen, envy in her eyes.
"Attendant, can we still make it there in time?"
Auspicious omens could last longer or shorter. If they reached the place before the omen faded and caught some of its rosy light, they'd be getting a windfall. Just after she'd spoken, she saw more and more figures streak across the sky above Fengluo City. Scholars and martial artists each displayed their own abilities, all with the same goal.
Everyone had the same idea.
"The auspicious omen is coming from the temporary medical office." Ning Yan's voice trembled with excitement.
