Looking at the respectful and grateful gazes of the Witch Race members, Cihang felt he didn't deserve it.

Especially when Jiu Feng also expressed her thanks to him.

"I'm already fortunate that the Great Witch doesn't blame me, so how can I accept her thanks?

Bifang's intervention this time was likely due to me, and it caused my Witch Race brothers to be implicated."

"My friend, you worry too much. Given the relationship between my Witch Race and the Demon Race, there's no possibility of peaceful coexistence.

That Bifang had only just broken through his realm and was merely trying to establish his authority.

However, he miscalculated!"

Jiu Feng let out a cold laugh, but it wasn't directed at Cihang.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Bifang took so long to make his move!

But ultimately, it was because I gave him an excuse!"

Jiu Feng's words also cleared up Cihang's previous doubts.

"My friend, you don't need to overthink it. This matter doesn't have much to do with you.

Even without your involvement, Bifang would have sought trouble after his breakthrough.

That Chiyu only possesses a trace of Bifang's bloodline, which is why he received some attention.

On the contrary, your actions this time have likely completely offended the Demon Race.

Given the Demon Race's nature, they will definitely not let you off.

Why don't you take this opportunity to join my Witch Race?"

Jiu Feng directly expressed her intention to recruit Cihang.

Jiu Feng increasingly favored Cihang's strength, and her address to him had changed from "young friend" to "my friend."

Judging by the previous battle, Cihang already possessed combat power comparable to a peak Golden Immortal.

Such combat power was rare even within the Witch Race.

With further cultivation, breaking through to Taiyi or Grand Unity might not be difficult.

Furthermore, the spirit pills and talismans Cihang refined were of great help to the Witch Race.

During Cihang's stay, the number of casualties among the tribesmen had significantly decreased.

Jiu Feng couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had casually saved Cihang back then.

Upon hearing this, Cihang was momentarily speechless, looking at Jiu Feng with some surprise.

Jiu Feng's words had indeed dispelled his guilt. Thinking about it, it was understandable that the Witch Race and Demon Race could not coexist peacefully.

Although a major war had not yet erupted, conflicts between the two races had never ceased.

However, Jiu Feng's invitation to join the Witch Race still shocked Cihang.

"I know you, Great Witch, intend to protect me, but I cannot join the Witch Race.

The Witch Race is different from the Demon Race; it is founded on bloodline. Although I cultivate the method of refining the physical body, I am still a primordial spirit cultivator!"

Despite his surprise and shock, Cihang refused without hesitation.

This was not only because of the future Witch-Demon war but also due to the Witch Race's exclusivity.

Although he was treated well among the Witch Race now, he was still a guest, an outsider.

As a primordial spirit cultivator, he could not fully integrate into the Witch Race.

Moreover, his Dao was not with the Witch Race.

"You don't need to worry about that. I, Jiu Feng, have some influence within the tribe.

And these tribesmen also recognize you highly.

While the Dao of the primordial spirit is good, my Witch Race also possesses top-tier inheritances.

As long as you join the Witch Race, I can request the Ancestor Witch to bestow upon you the Witch Race bloodline and allow you to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

With your talent and comprehension, achieving Quasi-Saint is not an issue!"

When she decided to recruit Cihang, Jiu Feng had already weighed the pros and cons.

"Great Witch, you truly don't need to do this. My path is set, and I have no intention of changing it.

Although the Witch Race is good, it is not suitable for me!"

Cihang quickly and firmly refused Jiu Feng.

Bestowing bloodline? Although the Witch Race inherited from Pangu, they cultivated with turbid evil energy, which conflicted with the primordial spirit.

Changing bloodline would be completely cutting off his own path.

No matter how strong the Witch Race's combat power was, he had no intention of switching his cultivation.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't force you any further, my friend.

However, you have indeed helped my Witch Race this time, and I cannot offer nothing in return."

Fellow Daoist, you also cultivate the physical body and know that our Witch Race's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is the foremost in the Great Desolation.

I have the first three layers of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique here. Perhaps Fellow Daoist can learn from it!

My promise to Fellow Daoist is still valid. You can join our Witch Race at any time."

As she spoke, Jiu Feng handed a piece of jade bone to Cihang, which contained the first three layers of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Although Jiu Feng was somewhat disappointed to hear Cihang refuse, she was not surprised by the outcome.

No cultivator would easily change their Great Dao, and Cihang clearly possessed a top-tier inheritance.

"How can I accept this? The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is the inheritance of the Witch Race. How can I possibly take it?"

Although Cihang was tempted by the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, he couldn't help but doubt Jiu Feng's intentions.

She was simply too generous, especially after he had explicitly refused.

Cihang also deliberately avoided the issue of joining the Witch Race.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be polite. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is our Witch Race's inheritance, and only our Witch Race can cultivate it.

Even if it were truly passed on, others would find it difficult to practice.

Moreover, this is only the first three layers, and it's merely for your reference!

If Fellow Daoist feels indebted, you can just refine more elixirs for me!"

Jiu Feng explained with a smile.

"Then thank you, Great Witch!"

In the end, Cihang couldn't resist the temptation of this foremost body-refining technique.

With the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique in hand, Cihang's mind was no longer on the banquet.

He soon took his leave from everyone and returned to his dojo alone.

Upon returning to his dojo, Cihang immediately took out the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and began to study its inheritance.

However, after only a moment, Cihang awoke from his meditation, his expression constantly changing.

"Jiu Feng was right. This Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique can only be studied, not cultivated!"

Cihang sighed and said.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique truly deserved its name as the foremost body-refining divine technique, yet he couldn't cultivate it.

Its first step, drawing the turbid evil energy into the body, already cut off the possibility of other cultivators practicing it.

Following this, the fusion of bloodline power to evolve the Du Tian Shen Sha energy could only be successfully fused into the Du Tian Shen Sha origin by the special bloodline of the Witch Race.

"Nascent Soul cultivators are completely incompatible with this Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique."

Cihang lamented.

Although turbid evil energy was also a type of heaven and earth energy, it was the greatest bane to the Nascent Soul. The two could never coexist.

The Witch Race, however, was different. Although the Witch Race inherited from Pangu, they were contaminated by turbid evil energy at the beginning of the heavens' creation.

While this created a physical body as powerful as that of gods and demons, it also limited the growth of their Nascent Soul.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was also derived specifically for the Witch Race, and only they could cultivate it.

Although the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had flaws, it presented no obstacles. As long as there were sufficient resources before achieving enlightenment, one could continuously break through and advance.

Even though the resources required were terrifying, it far surpassed other cultivation techniques and inheritances.

Although one couldn't cultivate it without the Witch Race bloodline, Jiu Feng had also guaranteed that the Ancestor Witches would bestow bloodlines.

This was a smooth path leading to the Quasi-Saint realm.

"It seems Great Witch Jiu Feng is still not giving up!

But my Great Dao is set. How could I possibly change it so easily? And it's an inheritance technique with immense power but also a huge flaw!"

Cihang revealed a wry smile.

Jiu Feng was clearly trying to lure him with the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

However, Cihang didn't need it. He had far greater aspirations.
