Ren narrowed his eyes. "A Storage Ring!"
His first thought was a Storage Ring. After all, in the Battle Through the Heavens World, many rings were Storage Rings.
Ren took the ring, bit his finger open, and dripped his blood onto it.
The ring glimmered with a faint light before swallowing the blood. As it absorbed the blood, an indistinct connection formed. Ren's spiritual power instantly sensed a vast Kong—the Kong within the Storage Ring before him.
Excitement filled Ren's eyes. "This is a Storage Ring, a Storage Ring from the Battle Through the Heavens World."
He had always wanted a Kong ring, but he had never gotten one. Who would have thought that this time, he would obtain a Storage Ring from the Battle Through the Heavens World? Ren smiled, his heart filled with excitement. Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King before him could not compare to this Storage Ring. A Magical Beast was still just a Magical Beast—once eaten, it was gone. But a Storage Ring would be immensely helpful to Ren.
Ren released his spiritual power and instantly sensed several items within the Storage Ring.
· ······· Please send flowers ·· ··
With a thought, quite a few items appeared before him.
Three porcelain bottles, several books, and some beast-hide scrolls.
Ren stared at the items before him. "Isn't this too poor?"
There was so little inside the Storage Ring. If this was not poverty, what was? Although Storage Rings were cheap in the Battle Through the Heavens World and practically everyone had one, this person had been far too poor.
Ren looked at the porcelain bottles and found words engraved on them.
"Healing Pill!"
"Strength-Boosting Pill!"
"Ecstasy Powder!"
The three bottles of pills made the corners of Ren's mouth twitch.
The three medicines were only around first-grade in the Battle Through the Heavens World. The Healing Pill was decent and could treat injuries. The Strength-Boosting Pill could enhance one's strength, though its effects lasted only for a limited time. As for the Ecstasy Powder, its purpose was obvious at a glance. It was clearly an aphrodisiac.
Speechless, Ren looked toward the books before him.
The books recorded matters concerning pill refining, as well as several pill formulas.
Ren now understood that the owner of this Storage Ring had accidentally discovered ruins—ruins left behind by an alchemist. He had wanted to become an alchemist himself. Unfortunately, the inheritance belonged to no particularly high-level alchemist, so many low-grade pills had decayed away. Only a Storage Ring remained, containing several pill formulas.
The person who had inherited it had wanted to refine pills according to the formulas, but had only produced the three bottles of pills before him. Later, lacking medicinal ingredients, he had entered the Magical Beast Mountains to gather herbs. Who knew he would encounter the Amethyst Winged Lion King and be killed, leaving the ring in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's possession?
The corners of Ren's mouth twitched as he looked at the beast hides before him.
Several pill formulas were written on the hides, including one for a fourth-grade pill. Unfortunately, they were useless to Ren.
Ren said, "There are no alchemists in the Naruto World, nor are there medicinal herbs for refining pills. What use are these things? Of the three kinds of items, only these three bottles of pills have some use. Still, the greatest gain is this Storage Ring."
The Storage Ring had an enormous amount of Kong. As expected of an alchemist's Storage Ring.

The next day, Ren woke from his sleep.
Ren shook his head and slowly sat up. His gaze instinctively fell upon the ring on his index finger, and he smiled. "Hehe... a purple Storage Ring. Then I'll call it the Amethyst Ring!"
Who would have thought that among the trash he had obtained yesterday, he would find a Storage Ring? Ren had known that his greatly increased spiritual power would certainly attract trash from a higher world, but he had not expected such an enormous harvest. Not only had he obtained the corpse of a juvenile Amethyst Winged Lion King and some miscellaneous medicinal herbs, he had also gained this Amethyst Ring.
After getting dressed, Ren stored his ninja tool pouch inside the Amethyst Ring and walked out of the bedroom.
The maid had already been waiting. Ren asked, "Has breakfast been prepared?"
The maid said, "Young Master... Head Chef Sasaki has already prepared breakfast. But Sasaki said it isn't good for Young Master to eat roasted meat in the morning!"
Ren chuckled. "Oh... so it's ready. Then I'm really looking forward to it! As for roasted meat, that's the perfect way to eat it!"
Ren intended to try the Amethyst Winged Lion King he had obtained yesterday. Over the years, he had eaten Magical Beast meat every day. Though he did not have much of it, only around seven or eight tons, it was enough to last him for years when he was the only one eating it.
Now, he had another Amethyst Winged Lion King, one that had contained Beast Flame. Although the Beast Flame had not remained after the Amethyst Winged Lion King's death, its flesh and blood should still contain the energy of the Beast Flame.
Ren had once eaten a Fire Tiger from the Perfect World, and it had raised the temperature of his Fire Release ninjutsu to terrifying heights. He wondered whether eating this Amethyst Winged Lion King would change the Chakra in his body and strengthen his Fire Release.
When he entered the dining room, Sasaki had already been waiting for a long time.
Eating roasted meat in the morning was something only Ren would do.
Ren looked at the breakfast before him, sat down, and said, "How is the lion whip I gave you yesterday?"
Sasaki immediately replied, "Young Master... that lion whip has been soaked in wine according to the previous recipe. But Young Master is still young. You shouldn't need that sort of thing, right?"
Ren narrowed his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of Amethyst Winged Lion King meat. Instantly, he felt a blazing heat burn within his body.
Just one piece of meat could produce such an effect. It seemed that the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Magical Beast meat truly was extraordinary. And this was only a juvenile Winged Lion King. If it had been an adult, its energy would have been even more terrifying.
As Ren ate the meat, he sensed a faint heat rising within his body, as though he had been baking beneath the scorching summer sun.
But it was food, after all. No matter how powerful its effects were, they would vanish in an instant.
Ren swallowed another mouthful and said, "Put that jar of whip wine in the storeroom. No one is allowed to touch it."
Sasaki replied, "Yes, Young Master!"
Ren wolfed down the roasted meat before him and continued, "Serve this meat again for lunch. If there isn't enough, come get more from me."
With that, Ren walked straight out of the dining room.
A terrifying amount of heat filled his body, as if it could erupt at any moment.
Ren narrowed his eyes. "It seems the power of my Fire Release ninjutsu will definitely increase!"
With that, Ren ran toward the training grounds. Today was the day his team would gather!
Not long after, Ren arrived at the training grounds.
He saw only Mikoto and Kushina, then asked, "Has Sister Tsunade not arrived yet?"
Mikoto shook her head. "I don't know. I've been here for quite a while, but there hasn't been any sign of Sister Tsunade."
Kushina said, "Sister Tsunade was already gone when I left home this morning."
Ren said, "It doesn't matter. As one of Konoha's top medical ninja, she probably has many matters to handle. We don't need to carry out those low-level missions anyway. Go practice what Sister Tsunade taught you yesterday. I happen to have some matters to deal with as well!"
