Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave Chapter 271 The Cultivation Places (Part Two)

Zen even found four space rings and one of which had a spacious inner area than Zen's.

Even though the house provided by the Could Sect was big enough for Zen, his new possession could
not all fit in his place.

He had to deal with them the next morning and arrange them so he could still have some space for
himself.

On the next few days, aside from further cultivating his strength, he spent most of his time
contemplating on the Sun Moon Stars Picture.

The picture indeed had quite a wonderful effect for cultivators of martial arts.

The last time he was at the fairy palace, he absorbed a part of the power from the Stars during the first
contemplation, and now his demonic life vitality contained part of that Star power.

When he used the star power, Zen was overwhelmed by the energy that it released.

'I have only absorbed a little of that Star power. I wonder what will happen if I absorb all the powers of
the Stars, Sun, and Moon. Will my demonic life vitality be more powerful than ever?' Zen thought
ecstatically.

But contemplating the picture now, Zen didn't feel that same wonderful feeling he had the first time.

And he also noticed that he was having a hard time "seeing through" the Sun Moon Stars Picture at
that time.

Aside from contemplating the Sun Moon Stars Picture, Zen also took the time to consider the means
for cultivation.



The Cloud Sect was called the holy land for cultivators because it owned plenty of cultivation
handbooks, and its most attractive feature was the excellent and conducive cultivation places it had.

Since Zen just became an outer disciple of the Cloud Sect, he was not aware of the cultivation places.

And he had been busy trying to earn points and even argued with Master Su on how he could earn
points faster.

Just two days after Zen had returned to the Cloud Sect, Aura sent someone over to give him a jade
manual since she knew that Zen wanted to further improve his strength in no time.

The jade manual had all the information about every cultivation place throughout the Cloud Sect.

In the manual, Zen had read about the Nine Dark Thunder Valley, which was a perfect place where one
could use the Nine Dark Divine Thunder to refine the body.

Another one was about the Freezing Cave. From the name itself, the temperature in place was below
the freezing point which was best to strengthen one's will and purify the heart.

The jade manual also included the Seven Star Sword Light Platform, where swordsmen could master
their sword art ten times faster than any regular cultivation place.

Learning about these special cultivation places made Zen excited.

He scanned the pages of the jade manual when he came across the Great Gravity Road. Reading
about it, Zen remembered the road with a strong gravitational pull that they took during the initial exam.

If he used the Great Gravity Road for his cultivation, it could speed up the refinement of his physical
body. Even if he entered the nature level, body refinement was still important. He would definitely go to
the Great Gravity Road for his further cultivation, but it wasn't his priority for now. So, he continued to
read through that jade manual.



When he turned to the next pages, he noticed the Lake of the Magical Fish. According to the manual,
one could hone his attack skills by killing countless phantom murlocs in a life and death situation under
strong water pressure.

It was the perfect place for Zen and he intended to go there for his training.

From the flesh refining level to the nature level, Zen figured that there was no better way to improve his
strength and power other than going through life and death situations.

The fighting experience during those situations was more valuable and important than those gained
during daily cultivation.

But Zen's excitement was washed off when he read the small annotations at the bottom of the jade
manual. He got a little disappointed.

It turned out that these places for cultivation were not free of charge.

And the costs were pretty high.

For example, an hour of cultivation at the Seven Star Sword Light Platform required forty points.

And the cultivation at the Great Gravity Road cost sixty points per hour.

As for the Lake of the Magical Fish, one hundred points were needed for an hour of cultivation.

These were too expensive for Zen.

Zen's points were already far more than that of other outer disciples. If Zen felt his points were not
enough for entering these cultivation places, they couldn't afford the costs as well.

Even most of the inner disciples didn't have enough points to access the secret places.



But Zen could not be discouraged just by the costs of these secret places. He had received various
tasks from Aura that earned him points, so he knew where to get the points from for his training.

He might find an easy task that could give him a couple of points, but it would surely take a
considerable amount of time to earn enough points from easy hands for the cultivation places.

It was more likely that he would earn more points by completing a hard task. But a hard task would take
him ten days to a half month and the points wouldn't be enough for an hour at any of the cultivation
places.

One could buy points by exchanging a lot of cubic crystals in the Cloud Sect, but only the noble clans
could do such a thing. Even if the average disciples had enough cubic crystals, they couldn't just
exchange them for points.

The Cloud Sect was just like a huge company. Every month, the Cloud Sect spent a huge amount of
money on the salaries of managers and other officers, as well as the monthly allowances and pills of
the hundreds of thousands of the Cloud Sect disciples.

And in order to maintain the expenses, the Cloud Sect had to charge high fees for the use of some of
its places.

In addition, the maintenance of the training sites also required a lot of crystal energy.
