The acolytes in the trade and crafting area next door all celebrate our breakthroughs, the surrounding crowds of mostly lower level cultivators vowing to do their very best to catch up to us one day.
The double breakthrough is explained away as the effects of a single use magical item we found in a category 3 portal, a pronouncement that brings looks of anticipation to many faces and spreads whispers all through the camp.
Another group comes back early from the Category 3 hunting area, their mage carrying a fancy new staff I am sure I didn't see this morning. They try to play it off as something minor they already had, but all talk of the camp is of multiple high end magical items being found in the local portals.
