Uchiha Yoichi's face broke into a smile, and then he prepared to study the Storage Ring.
On the way back, he went to the bathroom with Temari, not getting any business done.
Taking out the Storage Ring, Uchiha Yoichi immediately sensed the lingering Spiritual Mark on it, and directly erased the mark with his Spiritual Power; then he dripped a drop of blood to establish a connection with the ring.
"The space is quite large, it seems this Dragon-headed Lion also had some fortune, this definitely isn't a ring that a Tier Six Demon Beast could obtain, unless it picked it up left by other strong beings."
Uchiha Yoichi thought to himself, the space in this Storage Ring might not be as large as the three he traded with Furumoto, but it's not small either; although he hasn't visited Dou Qi Continent, he dares to bet it's definitely not a cheap item.
There were quite a few items inside, various Demon Cores and materials from Demon Beasts, along with rare Medicinal Materials, and over a dozen Combat Skills and Cultivation Techniques.
Demon Beasts can't use Combat Skills and Cultivation Techniques, they should be left by the ring's owner, while the Demon Cores and beast materials and the rare Medicinal Materials should be the Dragon-headed Lion's own collection.
This Dragon-headed Lion in life should have been the overlord of several mountain ranges, after all, its strength wasn't weak.
Sorting out the contents in the Storage Ring, Uchiha Yoichi's joy in his heart grew increasingly larger, this Dragon-headed Lion also had the hoarding nature of rodents, gathering a lot of materials, with three Tier Six Demon Cores alone, and the combined number of Tier Five and Tier Four Demon Cores exceeding a hundred.
Just the Demon Cores and rare Medicinal Materials in this ring are enough for him to refine five Sixth-Grade Elixirs, seventeen Fifth-Grade Elixirs.
As for other gold, silver, and jewels, they piled up like small mountains, the Dragon-headed Lion having a bit of Dragon lineage, has an instinctive memory for hoarding treasures.
After classifying the items within the Storage Ring, an hour had passed, and now the Dragon-headed Lion's ring was emptied, and all the items were taken by Uchiha Yoichi.
As for the ring, it could be given to Mikota or Tsunade once he returns.
Just after Uchiha Yoichi finished sorting out the Storage Ring, Temari upstairs slowly woke up, seeing the sky outside the window gradually darkening, she suddenly came to her senses.
"Why start scolding me as soon as you wake up, you've been scolding for hours already, haven't had enough?"
Uchiha Yoichi opened the door and heard Temari scolding him, but it didn't matter, since she had scolded even more before, her throat getting a bit hoarse.
Temari said angrily and embarrassed: "It's so late, why didn't you wake me up... and this time you again!"
"You were so tired, why wake you up; as for getting it in, no choice, it was uncomfortable...."
Uchiha Yoichi shrugged and said, then handed over the medicine and water in his hand, continuing: "Here's the medicine, take it before leaving."
Temari glared at him, took the medicine and swallowed it down in one gulp without even drinking water, directly pushed Uchiha Yoichi aside and left.
"Such a fiery personality...."
Uchiha Yoichi didn't care, he'd already sent a message to the Kamui Clone; planning to first practice refining the Elixir in the Dream Space, then tomorrow refine the Elixir in the Divine Power Space.
When a Sixth-Grade Elixir forms, there will be a strong energy fluctuation, not suitable to perform in Konoha.

Temari traveled the entire way with Chakra, quickly buying some ready-made cooked food at the supermarket, then rushed home; while running, she could feel more things leaking inside her body.
This feeling made Temari feel extremely uncomfortable, unable to help cursing Uchiha Yoichi several more times in her heart, just how much did he put in...
"I'm back!"
Returning home, Temari called out, then hurriedly changed her shoes and walked in.
Nara Shikatai came out from inside, scratching his head and asking: "Mom, what did you go to do? You're back so late today, and dinner hasn't been made..."
"Sorry, something came up today..."
Temari relaxed slightly seeing Shikamaru wasn't home yet, apologized to Shikatai for being late; but just as she finished speaking, the sound of the door opening came from behind.
"I'm back.... Temari, you just got back too?"
The one who returned was the person Temari least wanted to see, Nara Shikamaru, but Temari composed herself and said, "Sorry, I got delayed by something today, I'll go make dinner right now."
Finishing her words, Temari promptly headed to the kitchen, only did Nara Shikamaru start asking Shikatai after she left: "When did your mom come back?"
Nara Shikatai said while rubbing his head: "Probably a few minutes earlier than you, I thought you two were back together."
"She today... never mind, go play, I'll check your studies after dinner."
Nara Shikamaru sent Shikatai off, then proceeded towards the bedroom.
After entering, he scanned the room, felt the bed, then checked the other rooms; while passing through the courtyard corridor, Nara Shikatai curiously asked: "What's up, are you looking for something?"
"Nothing..."
Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said, then just as he was about to inquire further, Temari's voice called out from inside: "Dinner's ready!"
"Let's go eat first."
"Oh, just in time, I'm hungry!"
Father and son suppressed their inner thoughts simultaneously, and then went to the dining room.
Although he didn't find any useful clues, Nara Shikamaru instinctively sensed that something was off with Temari, from the time she experienced her memory lapse, lots of things had been off.
These quirks compiled together made Nara Shikamaru feel instinctively uncomfortable, so he wanted to know what had happened with Temari.

Land of Silence
Sai had a considerable gain here, although he was initially discovered by Viktor's people, during the chase they unintentionally exposed some information.
After circling back, Sai found Viktor's pharmaceutical company based on the scant clues and infiltrated it.
Almost a month went by without returning to Konoha, even when Otherworld monsters appeared within Konoha, Sai didn't go back, solely to infiltrate and uncover the mastermind behind the attack on Hashirama Cells.
After infiltrating, Sai became even more cautious, disguising himself, replacing the staff here with Transformation Jutsu, slowly reaching the deepest part of Viktor's artificial Divine Tree base.
Since Viktor didn't believe anyone could infiltrate, the deepest parts lacked strong defenses, allowing Sai to sneak in.
Meanwhile, Viktor was discussing recent major events in the Ninja World with Kamui Clone, wanting to get involved.
"Idiot, don't be smart, Konoha's ninja haven't forgiven you yet, and you want to join the commotion in Konoha."
Kamui Clone scolded: "The most important thing now is the Divine Tree, once completed, I'll gather data, until then, don't act hastily!"
"But...."
"No buts, I invested heavily in the Divine Tree too, Viktor, if the plan fails, you'll become my enemy...."
Saying this, Kamui Clone suddenly sensed unfamiliar Chakra, swiftly locking onto its hiding location; he lacked Byakugan, unable to identify the person.
"My point here is done, weigh your options; and don't send anyone to hunt me down, against Space-Time Ability, your men look like jokes."
Finishing his words, Kamui Clone employed Dojutsu and left.
'That spatial distortion.... is Uchiha Obito!?'
Covertly gathering intel, Sai was shocked beyond imagination seeing this; he crossed paths with Uchiha Obito during the Fourth Great Ninja War, very familiar with Kamui Dojutsu.
Just then, the point-based spatial twisting was undoubtedly the Space-Time Ability once used by Uchiha Obito.
'How can this be, why is Uchiha Obito's Sharingan Dojutsu appearing here..... No, I must report back to the village!'
Sai pondered, resolved to return and report to the village after seeing Kamui Clone.
