It was an independent building hidden in an alley.
The building was not big and only had two floors. The door was wide open, but there was a black curtain at the door that blocked the view of passersby, making it difficult for people to peek inside.
The building did not have a signboard, so it was impossible to tell what it was for.
Lu Qingshan stood in front of the building, his eyes flashing.
As his Novice Village was not in Origin Mountain City in his previous life, he had walked through many alleys to find this building.
As he was familiar with the storyline of Empyrean, he knew very well that although the building in front of him looked ordinary, it was actually the biggest power that players could come into contact with in the entire Origin Mountain City.
Origin Mountain Building, Zhishou Building's branch in Origin Mountain City!
Zhishou Building was the only power in the human race that could rival the Seven Great Sects.
Zhishou Building was also the oldest power in the human race. It had existed even before the Royal Family of Da Xia Kingdom appeared.
After the Royal Family of Da Xia Kingdom unified the human race, Zhishou Building submitted to the Royal Family and hid its power underground.
After 20,000 years in Chang 'an, Zhishou Building's shadow gradually faded among the human race.
However, Lu Qingshan knew that Zhishou Building did not weaken after 20,000 years. Instead, with the full support of the Royal Family of Da Xia Kingdom, it became stronger and stronger.
Zhishou Building's branches were like the trading companies of the Da Xia Kingdom. They could be found in every human city. The only difference was that the trading companies of the Da Xia Kingdom were in the open, while Zhishou Building was in the dark.
The Zhishou Tower was a faction that only surfaced in the Underworld Shadow patch and was officially opened to the players.
However, in his previous life, there were always some lucky players who were able to open Zhishou Building's faction early due to some coincidences.
As Zhishou Building was not well-known and kept a low profile, the players who opened Zhishou Building's faction thought that Zhishou Building was just a small faction.
However, who knew that when the Shadow of Hades was released, Zhishou Building suddenly became the leader of the human race in the current patch.
F * ck, Soul Imprint, I got SSR!
Soon, some players who couldn't hold back their smugness uploaded the way they activated Zhishou Building's faction to the players' forum.
Everyone had a different way of entering the Zhishou Building camp. It could be said that there were all kinds of strange ways, but they all had one thing in common, which was that they were enemies with Demonic Cultivators.
This was because Zhishou Tower was built specifically to suppress the Demons' influence in the Da Xia Kingdom.
…
Lu Qingshan had never intended to be a rogue cultivator.
In the Nine Heavens that was about to fall into chaos, if one didn't have the protection of a sect and chose to be a rogue cultivator, the death rate was extremely high.
In the various versions of the main storyline, there were countless NPCs who were killed because of the plot.
Every time there was a major update, Lu Qingshan would go online again. When he looked at the update log, he would find that there was always a sentence in the update log: "Countless rogue cultivators have become the victims of this disaster …"
Moreover, if a cultivator wanted to grow quickly, they needed a lot of resources.
Dharma, Companions, Wealth, Land!
There were four main elements of cultivation.
First of all, high-level cultivation techniques and sword techniques were expensive, and they weren't easily passed down. Most of the time, you couldn't buy these things even if you had money.
Therefore, the cultivation techniques that rogue cultivators cultivated were usually trashy, and the spells that they studied were also of average power.
If they could rely on a powerful sect, they could exchange for all kinds of high-level cultivation techniques as long as they accumulated enough sect contribution points.
Companions didn't just refer to Dao companions who cultivated together. It also included fellow disciples and masters. If one studied alone without friends, they would definitely be ignorant and inexperienced.
If one could enter a cultivation sect, not only would they have fellow disciples who cultivated with them, but they would also have the guidance and protection of experienced masters. Naturally, rogue cultivators couldn't compare to their growth speed.
Wealth was the various cultivation resources and materials that cultivators needed for cultivation, such as elixirs, spiritual artifacts, spirit stones, and so on.
Rogue cultivators spent most of their time running around to obtain cultivation resources. They didn't have enough time to cultivate cultivation techniques and study spells.
In order to nurture their disciples, cultivation sects would regularly distribute a certain amount of cultivation resources to their disciples.
Moreover, many precious elixirs and artifacts could be obtained by the sect disciples at an extremely discounted price.
These disparities in resources were often quickly converted into disparities in strength.
Earth was a place for cultivation. Sects were built on spirit veins, and the density of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi there was far greater than in other places. It could be said that it was a treasured place for cultivation.
The efficiency of cultivating in these places for a day was equivalent to cultivating in ordinary places for two days, or even more.
As for rogue cultivators, the world was their home. In the current cultivation world, how many places suitable for cultivation had not been discovered?
Not to mention finding a treasured place to cultivate, many rogue cultivators were often discovered when they were cultivating in seclusion and then killed for their wealth. However, in a sect, they would never have to worry about these problems.
In the cultivation world, 99% of the cultivators who stood at the top were from famous sects. There were very few powerful rogue cultivators, so the importance of a sect could be seen.
Although Lu Qingshan had great confidence in his ability to grow, chaos was coming. He was weak and alone, and would be in extreme danger in this chaotic world.
He needed the protection of a great power.
Zhishou Tower was not the great power he had in mind, but Zhishou Tower had an advantage.
Zhishou Tower was not a sect, but an official organization. Hence, they did not restrict the freedom of their members.
Members of Zhishou Tower could still join other sects, and would not violate their rules.
Without a doubt, Zhishou Tower was an excellent second faction.
.....
Lu Qingshan lifted the black curtain at the door and walked into the tower.
The first floor of the tower was a hall. A few wooden pillars divided the space in the hall into several sections. The windows of the tower were tightly shut, and in addition to the dark alleys in the depths of the tower, the entire interior was very dark.
"Who are you? What is the matter? "A deep male voice sounded.
Lu Qingshan looked inside. There was a staircase made of brown sandalwood that led to the second floor. Beside the staircase, there was a counter.
A middle-aged male cultivator with messy hair and stubble sat at the counter. He looked very sloppy.
It was this middle-aged male cultivator who had asked the question.
"I'm looking for the Tower Lord of Origin Mountain Tower."
A glint flashed in the middle-aged male cultivator's eyes.
Lu Qingshan vaguely felt like he was being spied on.
Lu Qingshan knew that the middle-aged male cultivator was using his spiritual sense to scan him.
"You're just a Level Two Qi Refinement cultivator. The tower master is not someone you can meet just because you want to."
"Hades." Lu Qingshan did not explain much, and slowly uttered two words.
The middle-aged male cultivator's pupils shrank. "What did you discover?!"
"I can only tell the tower master about this."
After a short silence.
The middle-aged male cultivator's deep voice sounded again. "Alright, wait here."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
The middle-aged male cultivator left the counter and went straight to the second floor.
Not long after.
"Come upstairs." It was a pleasant female voice that came from upstairs.
He did not expect the tower master of Origin Mountain Tower to be a female cultivator.
Lu Qingshan found it interesting.
Without hesitation, Lu Qingshan quickly walked up the stairs.
When he reached the end of the stairs, he saw an extremely long corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were individual rooms.
"The innermost room."
He could only hear the voice, but not see the person.
Lu Qingshan walked to the end of the corridor unhurriedly and pushed open the door.
Lu Qingshan's eyes immediately lit up.
Unlike the darkness of the other parts of the tower, the room was very bright. There was a pleasant and faint fragrance in the air. In addition, there was a … very good-looking woman in the room.
