"Beep, box opened."

After retrieving her package from the parcel locker outside the student dormitory, An Huiling carried the package quickly towards her room...

Chapter 213 Protective Talisman

Luo Yan left school and went home yesterday, so she's alone in the dorm today. An Huiling remembered the simple voice message her senior brother sent her last night, saying there was a small gift for her to check.

Because the two had made some prior agreements, and for the sake of secrecy, An Huiling couldn't ask Zhang Jing for further details online, especially questions involving the mystical side. So, she could only wait for the delivery with great curiosity.

An Huiling strode into her dormitory, first closing and locking the door, then taking out a utility knife to open the cardboard box and taking out a purple velvet jewelry box. Next to the jewelry box was a small roll of paper.

An Huiling first opened the small scroll of paper. On the white Xuan paper, written in neat small regular script, it said that this was a talisman. She was to activate it with her divine sense after receiving it, and then carry it with her at all times.

An Huiling put the paper roll aside, then picked up the jewelry box, opened it, and inside was an exquisitely crafted jade talisman, strung on a thin cord and placed in the jewelry box.

The jade talisman is round and not very large, with a diameter of only about half the length of a little finger. It is carved entirely from white jade, and An Huiling can tell from her eyes that the jade material is of excellent quality.

The front of the jade talisman was carved with some abstract patterns, which An Huiling studied carefully for a while and felt seemed somewhat similar to a star map. On the back of the talisman were two abstract characters, and the font was not the currently popular regular script or clerical script, so An Huiling could not recognize them either.

However, although she couldn't recognize it, An Huiling was still very happy to receive the gift. She held the jade talisman in her hand and examined it repeatedly. Then she tried it on herself and found that it could be hung on her belt. People of Dazhao generally had the habit of wearing waist ornaments, and An Huiling was no exception. She skillfully hung it on her waist, and it was not visible from the outside under her outer clothes.

After practicing in front of the mirror for a while, An Huiling took it off again and, following her senior brother's instructions, probed with her divine sense...

Immediately afterwards, a clear light flashed across its surface, and then there was no further movement. If An Huiling hadn't clearly sensed a certain subtle energy fluctuation accompanying the light, she might have thought it was just an illusion.

However, since her senior brother said it was a talisman, An Huiling decided that she should carry it with her at all times.

After putting on the amulet, An Huiling carefully took a lighter, burned the scroll with her senior brother's writing on it, and flushed it down the sink. Then she opened a nearby cabinet and took out several pre-packaged parcels. These were New Year's gifts she had prepared for her teacher and senior brother over the past few days, which she had originally planned to send out today. However, because she had received her senior brother's amulet, she needed to slightly modify the New Year's greetings she had prepared, adding some words of gratitude.

An Huiling thought for a moment, then opened one of the packages, took out an envelope, and opened it...

What An Huiling didn't know was that at the same moment the jade talisman flashed with a faint light, in a corner of the newly rebuilt Fengxian Hall in Lishan Cave Heaven, a lamp silently lit up...
