Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

The Lake of the Magical Fish was located on a hill in the south of Cloud Sect.

Compared to the mountains in the north, this hill was inconspicuous.

But the scenery here was surprisingly fascinating. In addition, Could Sect had built a neat trail to it with six-foot-wide cyan slabs.

Arriving at the hill, Zen saw a guard in brown standing solemnly.

After saying hello, Zen began to ask him about the Lake of the Magical Fish.

The guard studied Zen, and was confused by the white robe on Zen.

White-robe disciples at Cloud Sect were usually weak with few points. But the Lake of the Magical Fish did set requirements for the refiners who wanted to challenge it.

If they were not strong enough to meet those requirements, they would not get benefits from the lake, and might even be hurt inside.

"I want to refine myself in the Lake of the Magical Fish," Zen told the guard.

The guard thought for a moment, and then replied, "Was it your master who asked you to come here?"

At Cloud Sect, masters would suggest that their disciples refine themselves at the Lake of the Magical Fish.

Zen nodded at the guard, for he indeed learned about these secret refining places from Aura, his master.

The guard placed his hand in front of Zen, and said, "Then, please show me your disciple card!"

He checked Zen's disciple card. To his surprise, Zen had earned a lot of points. According to his experience, it was impossible for an outer disciple to own so many points unless he bought them with cubic crystals.

'Since he still wears the outer disciple robe, he can't be a member of any noble clan. Perhaps, he comes from a rich family, ' the guard thought.

Then he spoke to Zen, "You can't go in the lake to refine yourself now."

"Why not?" Zen was puzzled.
