Chapter 347
Room seven was locked. On the adjacent wall, a stone box was embedded Phoebe opened the stone box, revealing two recessed spaces inside
She placed Percival’s identity seal and a key into the box. Soon, the door to the room opened automatically, Phorhe took the items and walked inside. The room contained a wooden cabinet, and hanging from it was a talisman
Phoebe activated the aura from Percivals identity seal and infused it into the talisman. Moments later, the talisman, which was affixed to the cabinet, spontaneously combusted and turned to ash
The wooden cabinet, which was neither locked not had any gaps, slowly opened on its own. Inside, Phoebe saw only a small square wooden box. each of its four corners adorned with a talisman. The box also had an ancient lock
Phoebe carefully picked up the wooden box and sensed a familiar aura; it was indeed Percival’s. She didn’t open it there, but in
instead took it with
her.
As Phoebe exited the yard, the elderly gray–haired man glanced at the wooden box she was holding, and his eyes flickered momentarily
He spoke, emphasizing it “Once you take that out, once you leave this gate, we won’t have anything to do with it anymore. If you love it, we won’t be responsible.
Phoebe looked at him deeply, sensing that his words had an underlying meaning. She nodded, “1 understand” With that, she walked out the gate, holding the wooden box.
Moments after Phoebe left, a person approached the main hall of the Horoscope Association and knocked on the door. He spoke at the door, “Sir, Phoebe has the item”
A voice came from within. “Wait until she leaves Oriar, then retrieve it
“Understood,” he responded.
Such situations happened frequently. Along the way, no one attempted to take the wooden box from Phoebe, which was exactly what she had anticipated.
If someone tried to steal an item from Phoebe while she was retrieving something stored at the Horoscope Association, word would spread, and no one would dare to store anything there in the future. But if the item were stolen after Phoebe had left Oriar, the situation would be different,
Phoebe returned to her room and locked the door behind her. Once inside, she set up a magic field that prevented anyone from peeking inside. Only then did she approach the box and use another key to unlock the wooden box.
She then cut her finger, allowing a drop of blood to fall on each of the four talismans affixed to the corners of the box
The blood immediately merged into the talismans, and they spontaneously combusted, turning into thin blue smoke.
Click! The wooden box made a sound as it opened on its own. Phoebe looked inside and law two items
At the top was an emerald clasp, radiating an ancient aura and filled with auspicious energy. The emerald clasp was intricately engraved with complex patterns, and in the center was a vividly detailed miniature Sky Serpent with wings.
Phoebe carefully picked up the emerald clasp and examined it. It was undoubtedly a top–tier artifact. However, she had a feeling that it wasn’t just any artifact, it seemed more significant than that.
Below the clasp was an envelope. Phoebe reached for it. The envelope was sealed with a calisman, and as soon as her hand made contact, the talisman spontaneously combusted and vanished.
Phoebe knew this was a backup measure left by Percival, a kind of verification talisman. Only by sensing her aura could the letter remain intact.
If anyone else had tried to take the letter, the talisman would have burned the entire letter along with itself.
The wooden box that held the items was also rigged with a magic field. Without Phoebe’s blood, it couldn’t be opened. If someone tried to force it open the bow would be destroyed.
Thus, even if someone wanted to seal the items Percival had entrusted, they wouldn’t be able to get them
Phoebe opened the letter, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Percival had divined that Phoebe would face life–threatening trials, so he had used a secret technique to give her a slim chunce at survival. The technique had worked, but Percival did not know what her chance at survival would be.

The ones plotting against her were incredibly powerful, and Percival urged Phoebe not to confront them head–on Unless one day Phoebe reached the Ascendance Realm, she would have no hope of standing against them.
Percival advised that if Phoebe could not reach that level, she should go abroad and stay away, as that would be the only way to preserve her life.
