Qu Jianlei was not good at reading people's expressions, but he considered himself highly sensitive to changes in aura.
After he stated his position, no obvious changes occurred in anyone else's aura.
So he vanished immediately, without offering any further explanation.
"I hope there are some magical artifacts," Paranoid muttered, then looked at the giant octopus and swallowed. "Let's first check whether this thing is edible."
Qu Jianlei entered the room and first took out two relatively ordinary bags from the Item-Storing Ring.
There were many such bags. Their volume was roughly one-third that of the items inside, so they were probably meant for bulk cargo.
He opened one and found soybean-sized plant fruits inside, giving off dense spiritual energy.
"Spirit Grain... or Spirit Rice!" Qu Jianlei made his judgment.
As expected of Cultivators. The spiritual energy was dense, upright, pure, and mellow. Compared to it, that Ability Rice was truly nothing.
But with so much Spirit Grain stored together, the identity of the Item-Storing Ring's owner was practically obvious.
More than a thousand cubic meters of Spirit Rice was not something a few cultivators could finish in a short time.
So the owner was most likely responsible for logistics—or perhaps procurement.
That also explained the enormous Storage Bags. Such large bags really were necessary when transporting bulk goods.
