"Fortune is as tangible as substance; this small cup could change the destiny of an ordinary person," Zhao Xing observed the Fortune Gold Cup.
The growth of fortune should occur in various types.
It might be in one's love life, suddenly meeting an exceptional person of the opposite sex, who, inexplicably, is desperate to marry them.
Or it could be in wealth, amassing in a few years a fortune that one could not have earned in a lifetime.
One might also encounter a powerful patron, becoming their protégé, and receiving promotions all along the way.
For a cultivator? It's the classic tale of finding a treasure in a trash heap, stumbling upon a great deal at an auction, being pointed in the right direction by a sage, or discovering a divine skill after leaping off a cliff.
It can be said that fortune influences everything; apart from lifespan, what Zhao Xing desired the most was 'fortune'.
