Jiang Xiaocha took out a unique invitation from her spatial ring.
The invitation was made of an unknown material.
There was also a pattern on it.
If one looked closely at the pattern,
they would notice it resembled a sword piercing the emblem of a church.
It was like the Eye of Judgment.
The content of the invitation was simple.
It was an invitation for Jiang Xiaocha to join them.
This organization was called Spark.
Symbolizing that a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Fang Xin examined the invitation thoroughly.
He hadn't expected that after only learning about the Reformists two days ago, their remaining forces would find Jiang Xiaocha so quickly.
"When did you receive this invitation?"
"The day before the mid-term test started!" Jiang Xiaocha answered truthfully.
"Besides this invitation, was there anything else?" Fang Xin asked again.
Jiang Xiaocha shook her head, "No."
Fang Xin pondered for a moment, "Does anyone else know about this?"
"Only you and I know!"
"Don't be in a hurry to reply to them..."
Jiang Xiaocha bit her lip. Before Fang Xin could finish speaking, she said, "Xin Ge, I've already accepted their offer!"
Fang Xin was stunned again, "You... you've already joined them? You joined them without even investigating their background?"
Jiang Xiaocha, with reddened eyes, stared at Fang Xin, "Xin Ge, it's difficult for us to grow strong relying solely on our own power. We must use other forces as stepping stones to gain a firm footing in a short amount of time! Although the Sky Shield Bureau is at odds with the Church, its internal structure is too complex, with various forces intertwined. For their own interests, they often suppress many issues and cannot truly confront them. Only this Spark organization is wholeheartedly determined to overthrow the Church's tyranny!
And, Xin Ge, do you know?"
At this point, Jiang Xiaocha paused again, seemingly hesitating whether to tell Fang Xin, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "Xin Ge, from your tone, it seems you've heard some things about the Reformists, but do you know that Grandpa was actually one of the initiators who overthrew the Church's tyranny back then!"
Fang Xin stared into Jiang Xiaocha's eyes, "Who told you all this?"
"Someone from their side contacted me! She told me this! Xin Ge, by rights, I shouldn't tell you any of this! But now I only have you by my side! Xin Ge, do you remember what happened with Yang Haosi before? I said I don't want to be trampled underfoot by tyranny again! We need to be each other's support!"
Jiang Xiaocha stared into Fang Xin's eyes, enunciating each word.
Fang Xin wiped away Jiang Xiaocha's tears, "Let me investigate their background first, then you..."
"Xin Ge, I just said, I've already joined Spark. In fact, I originally recommended you to them, hoping you'd join Spark with me, but the person from Spark I'm in contact with said that you are too outstanding, and that the person behind the Ninth Division has some unclear relationship with you. The Ninth Division will definitely value you greatly! What's more, that person was also one of the leaders of the Reformists back then! You will eventually stand with Spark!"
"Xiao Cha! The background of this suddenly appearing Spark hasn't even been thoroughly investigated!"
Jiang Xiaocha suddenly grabbed Fang Xin's arm, "Xin Ge, there definitely won't be any problems. The person I'm in contact with, you know her, and she's trustworthy! I can only tell you this much!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xin looked utterly bewildered, "I know her?"
"Yes!"
"Male or female?"
Jiang Xiaocha stopped elaborating. Fang Xin went through everyone he knew one by one but couldn't pinpoint who it was.
"Alright, Xin Ge! You don't have to worry about me! Let's both work hard! And give a resounding slap to all tyrants!" Jiang Xiaocha lifted her head and sniffled.
Fang Xin rubbed Jiang Xiaocha's head, "But you're so weak, let alone slapping someone, it's hard for you to even jump up and kick someone's knee!"
Jiang Xiaocha angrily slapped Fang Xin, "Who says I'm not strong compared to you?"
The siblings stood up.
The few people at the cave entrance were chatting around the campfire, eating to replenish their strength, and had even set up a barrier so they wouldn't overhear Fang Xin and his sister whispering.
Seeing Fang Xin approach, Shi Tailang handed him a can of meat, "Xin Ge, Xiao Cha, eat something to replenish your strength!"
Fang Xin took a bite of food, "After we eat, let's go out!"
"Huh? Go out? Where to?" Zhang Yaozu asked, looking up.
"Let these guys take us to find god and demon marrow! Everyone else comes out during the day and dares not move at night. If we set off at night, no one will compete with us!"
With Fang Xin's words, everyone became invigorated as if injected with chicken blood.
After quickly finishing their food, Fang Xin waved to Di Xing Yecha (Earth Walking Yaksha), "Let's go, take us to find god and demon marrow!"
Di Xing Yecha (Earth Walking Yaksha) immediately bowed, "Please follow me, Your Excellency!"
Fang Xin planned to first harvest a wave of god and demon marrow to boost everyone's scores, then let them rest somewhere, while he would go to the other two Buddhist temples to find the Eye of Retrospection and release Situ Shenshu and Miao Neng.
Under the curious and envious gazes of Li Ba'er and the others, Di Xing Yecha (Earth Walking Yaksha) and Rakshasa led a vast horde of about a hundred subordinates to search for god and demon marrow.
Each person's ring could only display their own score and the scores of the top thirty on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings.
On the first day, the first-place holder on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings obtained over eleven thousand pieces of god and demon marrow.
The thirtieth-place holder obtained over six thousand pieces of god and demon marrow.
Before entering, Fang Xin had prepared to be a score-controlling expert. He would put some god and demon marrow into the ring, aiming for about tenth place, and the excess god and demon marrow would be stored in his private spatial ring.
Shi Tailang leaned over and saw that Fang Xin had no god and demon marrow at all, "Xin Ge, you have 0?"
Fang Xin joked, "What's wrong? You have 1!"
Shi Tailang smacked his lips, "Xin Ge, you... that works too!"
"Scram!"
Under the guidance of Di Xing Yecha (Earth Walking Yaksha), half an hour later, the group found a foul-smelling cave. Inside the cave, a giant toad was entrenched, and the bumps on its back secreted viscous, pungent liquid.
Di Xing Yecha (Earth Walking Yaksha) went forward and mumbled a few words of negotiation with the toad. The toad then pushed off with its hind legs and leaped in front of Fang Xin. This creature was over three meters tall, looking down at Fang Xin.
A few seconds later, the toad leaned its upper body forward and lowered its head, speaking in human tongue, emitting a coarse, middle-aged woman's voice, "Oh my, Hei Dongyu respectfully welcomes Your Excellency for your guidance. It is truly an honor for my humble abode that Your Excellency has come!"
When the toad opened its mouth, Fang Xin was stunned for a long time.
"Your Excellency, please!" The toad turned sideways.
Fang Xin didn't stand on ceremony and walked inside. The enormous cave was filled with red god and demon marrow, sparkling and beautiful.
Roughly counting, there were over thirty thousand pieces. "I'm taking some of your god and demon marrow, you don't mind, do you?"
The big toad grinned, "Please take it, it is my honor!"
Fang Xin gestured for the others to come in and take some together.
He also instructed the others, "First, put the god and demon marrow into your private spatial rings, and then transfer them into your score rings when it's light."
The group understood. Shi Tailang leaned close to Fang Xin, "Xin Ge, how much should we take? If we take too much, won't this toad auntie get angry?"
Fang Xin turned his head to look at the large, mountain-like toad standing at the cave entrance. The big toad human-like rubbed its two front paws, seemingly a bit reserved.
Presumably, having heard Fang Xin and Shi Tailang's conversation, the big toad raised its front paw and generously said, "Take it, you can take it all, it's fine, but can you grant me one request?"
"What request?"
The big toad rubbed its two plump front paws, a little embarrassed, "A crazy Witchcraft Master came here years ago, and I accidentally provoked him. He put a curse on me. He cursed that if I ever wanted to break through to the tenth rank, a man would have to willingly kiss me. You see, there are several men among you... hehe."
