Chapter 471

It was not until the sun set that Lingyun left the library and returned to the inn. In his hand, he still held a book that looked quite ordinary.

"Lingyun, did you gain anything?" Aiweier asked, looking at Lingyun.

"I gained a little, and I also discovered some very interesting things." Lingyun nodded. "By the way, where is Chen Jing?"

"Chen Jing? She is still practicing. After all, it is rare to have such a good environment; it would be a real loss not to restore her realm," Su Wanyue said.

Inside the room, Chen Jing was continuously absorbing the Star Power from the Star Array. Before leaving the inn, Lingyun had granted her the highest authority over the Star Array. Under these circumstances, she could utilize the Star Power gathered by the entire Star Array to practice.

As for whether this behavior would attract the attention of others, Lingyun indicated that it was not a problem at all. On one hand, Lingyun had set up a sufficiently powerful Isolation Array in this room, capable of blocking the vast majority of energy fluctuations. On the other hand, the people of this world had almost zero achievements in Star Power; even if someone sensed the flow of Star Power, they would hardly take it to heart, as this had already become the norm in Yaoxing City.

When Yaoxing City was first built, some people in the city had keenly sensed this fluctuation. At first, the Magicians were ecstatic, as this fluctuation was very likely a form of unknown power. However, they were soon disappointed; this unknown energy could not be used by people at all, and its only function was to make those star symbols in Yaoxing City light up. After the craze passed, this matter was cast to the back of people's minds, and no one paid attention to it anymore.

"Lingyun, you're back?" Seemingly sensing that Lingyun had arrived, the Star Power around Chen Jing slowly converged, and then she opened her eyes.

"It seems you truly have a strong talent for controlling Star Power!" Lingyun said with a smile, looking at the restrained Star Power on Chen Jing.

"Isn't that a matter of course!" Chen Jing said with a hint of haughtiness.

"Lingyun, can you tell us about your findings today? We are also very interested in this Star Array!" Aiweier said, leaning toward Lingyun.

"Since you want to know, it wouldn't hurt for me to tell you!" Lingyun nodded.

"Eh, the First City Lord of Yaoxing City?" After hearing Lingyun's account, Aiweier tilted her head. "I remember that our race seems to have records of her!"

"Your Elf Race has records of her? Could you tell me about them?" Chen Jing said, looking curious.

"In the records of our Elf Race, the First City Lord of Yaoxing City was an extremely powerful woman. At that time, no one on the entire Continent was her match. Moreover, no one knew her name; it was only later that she built Yaoxing City herself, so people called her Yaoxing," Aiweier said.

"Then does your Elf Race have a description of this City Lord's appearance?" Lingyun asked.

"No. According to the records in the books, that great person always wore a very strange hat, with a layer of thin gauze hanging down around the brim, shielding her face. At that time, I don't know how many people on the Continent wanted to lift that gauze, but no one ever succeeded, including the Queen of that generation," Aiweier said.

"Lingyun, the kind of hat with gauze that Aiweier mentioned, could it be a Veil Hat?" Su Wanyue asked.

"Veil Hat? What is that?" Aiweier asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lingyun opened his five fingers, and a patch of light and shadow emerged from his hand. In the light and shadow was a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat with a thin, translucent veil around the brim.

"This is a Veil Hat," Lingyun said.

"That's right, that's it. Although it's not exactly the same, the City Lord wore a hat very similar to this one. In the current Queen's Palace, there is a portrait left behind by that Queen from back then. The person in the painting is the First City Lord of Yaoxing City. And what that City Lord was wearing was exactly this kind of hat!" Aiweier nodded vigorously.

Lingyun dispersed the light and shadow in his hand and nodded at Chen Jing and the other. They were now ninety percent certain that this City Lord was not a native of this Continent. After all, the women on the Continent now all used veils; no one knew what a Veil Hat was.

"Ah, I can't do it, I can't do it. Too much time has passed, and I didn't remember the rest of the content. Since you and Lingyun are going to the Morning Light Forest, I'll borrow the book then, and you can read it slowly!" Aiweier said, rubbing her forehead, looking somewhat distressed.

"Is that so? That's fine, then we will postpone dealing with this matter."

Lingyun also agreed with Aiweier's suggestion. After all, the information he currently had about this First City Lord was too scarce; it was truly a difficult task to derive information about that City Lord from these few scraps. Moreover, looking at Aiweier's appearance, the description of this First City Lord within the Elf Race should be more than just a few words; he would be able to learn more information about the First City Lord of Yaoxing City from those records.

"Lingyun, now that I have initially mastered Star Power, when can you teach me the Star Secret Technique you mentioned?" Chen Jing suddenly asked Lingyun.

"Star Secret Technique..." Lingyun muttered, rubbing his chin.

He had indeed said this before; if Chen Jing could initially control her Star Power and achieve the state where Star Power was restrained rather than leaking out, she could learn a Star Secret Technique from him. After all, Chen Jing had only just begun to control her Star Power and had no time to develop her own Star Secret Technique.

"Hmm, in your current state, there are three Star Secret Techniques you can learn: Star Gang Fist, Star Destruction Halberd, and Star Phantom. Which one do you want to learn?" Lingyun thought for a moment and asked. "Also, if you want to learn the Star Destruction Halberd, you must prepare a weapon yourself first, since you haven't reached the level of Condensing Qi into Crystal yet."

"Star Gang Fist, Star Destruction Halberd, Star Phantom?" Hearing these three names, Chen Jing couldn't help but ponder. After all, these three Star Secret Techniques were all extremely formidable existences; this could be seen from the previous battle.

"I want to learn the Star Gang Fist!" In the end, Chen Jing made her decision.

"Star Gang Fist?"

Lingyun was a bit stunned. After all, in his mind, he thought a move like Star Phantom would be more attractive to girls. However, thinking of Chen Jing's fighting style, Lingyun felt a sense of understanding; this style of just grabbing her fists and going for it was truly Chen Jing's way of fighting.
