The Great Elder spoke indifferently, his eyes full of arrogance.

"Heh."

"In six months, if the Great Elder can still be unaffected by the Divine Demon Statue, then it's not too late to say this." The man in black and red robes said with a sneer.

The Great Elder did not argue further, but his heart became even more vigilant.

The Nine Nether Sect was filled with eeriness, even a single Divine Demon Statue could be so extraordinary.

If not for the overly tempting conditions provided by the Nine Nether Sect, they wouldn't want to associate with these people at all.

It was too dangerous; a single misstep could trap the Xing Family.

Entering the shrine, the hall was extremely solemn and dignified.

In the center was the statue of the Nine Nether Demon God, with eighteen other demon statues placed on either side.

Those demons were the generals under the Nine Nether Demon God.

Having learned from past lessons, this time the Fifth Elder and Second Elder dared not directly gaze at the statue of the Nine Nether Demon God, keeping their eyes on their noses, and their noses in their minds.

However, the Great Elder merely glanced at the statue of the Nine Nether Demon God, his gaze slightly focused, then immediately returned to normal.

Only the rise and fall of his chest revealed his inner unrest.

The man in black and red robes who led them in noticed this, chuckled lightly, and had a slightly mocking look.

How can you mere mortals gaze directly at the Lord Demon God?

The man in black and red robes led the two, entering a door on the right side of the main hall and, passing through a corridor, reached the side hall.

"Sir, the three elders of the Xing Family have been brought." The man in black and red robes respectfully said to the priest sitting on the chair.

"Hmm, you may leave." The priest said indifferently.

"Yes, Sir."

The man in black and red robes withdrew, leaving only the priest and the three elders—Great Elder, Second Elder, and Fifth Elder— in the room.

"About last time's proposal, what are your thoughts?" The priest asked indifferently.

"We would like to change the terms to one Life Extension Elixir, ten Blood Elixirs, plus thirty Essence Qi Elixirs."

"As for joining the Nine Nether Sect and becoming a Guardian, we currently have no plans for that."

"We wish to exchange the blessing opportunity from the Demon God for the Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation."

The Great Elder stated calmly, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes.

The Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation was their primary reason for cooperating with the Nine Nether Sect.

The ancient records passed down in the Xing Family stated that the Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation could elevate one to transcendent status, enabling them to cultivate to immortality and attain eternal life!

Unfortunately, the Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation was completely banned by the official Great Wei and declared a Forbidden Technique.

The Xing Family had spent hundreds of years secretly investigating but never found the Secret Technique. It was unexpected that the appearance of the Nine Nether Sect brought them a glimmer of hope.

"Are you sure you don't want the blessing opportunity from the Demon God? Even for me, obtaining it is extremely difficult."

"The Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation is not as wonderful as you imagine. The dangers within are only truly realized after cultivation, far less valuable than the blessing from the Demon God."

The priest looked at the Great Elder and spoke indifferently.

"I'm sure, just the Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation." The Great Elder affirmed.

"Alright."

Seeing the Great Elder's decisiveness, the priest no longer persuaded.

He took out a specially made parchment from his bosom, densely covered with Profound Mysterious Patterns on the back, and filled with text on the front.

"Drip blood and sign on it, and our contract will be established," the priest said to the Great Elder.

Hoo—

The Great Elder took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He picked up the parchment, which seemed to be made from the hide of some ferocious beast, feeling great in his hands, even lighter and more delicate than silk.

Carefully checking the text on it to ensure it matched the agreed terms, the Great Elder took out a dagger and cut his finger.

Gently squeezing his finger, he let a drop of fresh blood fall onto the parchment.

The blood was instantly absorbed by the parchment, and the patterns on the back flashed a scarlet glow.

The Great Elder picked up a brush beside him and signed his name on it.

The moment he finished signing his name, he felt a sudden daze, as an inexplicable force surged into his mind and disappeared.

The Second Elder and Fifth Elder exchanged glances, both stepping forward to drip blood and sign, just like the Great Elder.

As they signed, they similarly felt an inexplicable force surge into their minds and vanish.

"This is a Demon God contract; once established, it cannot be violated. Anyone who breaches the contract will face divine punishment from the Lord Demon God."

The priest put away the parchment and spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the three felt a slight alarm in their hearts.

They had indeed just felt a terrifying aura surging into their minds, but it quickly disappeared.

"The contract has been signed. Can I have the items now?" The Great Elder asked indifferently.

"Hmm."

The priest nodded lightly.

He took out five bottles of elixirs and a small booklet from his bosom.

"This bottle is the Life Extension Elixir, this contains ten Blood Elixirs, and these three bottles each contain ten Essence Qi Elixirs."

"This booklet is the Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation."

"A word of advice, do not rashly attempt the Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation, or the consequences will be dire."
