Chapter 312 Stirring Up the Cooter n
Spirit Container Harvest was apound Skill derived from the methods used by various humans and Pranic Beasts to harvest Parute Fruits. In had the methods of the Mammoth n, Cooter n, Gudora, Fhoong Brimgan, Mudropper, Centingers, Millingers, and a bunch more.
He had obtained the data of plenty of races that owned territories with Parute Trees, using a method each to delicately farm Parute Fruits without damaging the Parute Tree in the slightest.
Combining that data, In modified it to simrly harvest the Spirit Container of a person. Of course, this ability could only harvest one Spirit Container. So, the target must be at the Body Stage.
It was why In fed the Free Human a bunch of Elixirs until his Spirit Containers reached a hundred and fused into a unified whole. At this point, the sole influence on this unified Spirit Container was the Mystic Mist Art.
To fully reach the Body Stage, the Free Human would have to build a Human Avatar, which depended on their cultivation technique. Since the only cultivation technique in his possession was the ipatible Mystic Mist Art, it was impossible for him to enter the Body Stage.
That was perfect for In.
Only the Free Humans under the Cooter nsmen could be used for his purpose. No one else. After all, the Free Humans everywhere else, even those living in the weakest of Kingdoms practiced a cultivation technique, no matter how damned weak it was.
Therefore, there was an influence on their Spirit Containers.
This influence was reflected in their Spirit Weapon. A Mammoth nsman cultivating the Mystic Bone Art controlled a piece of bone as a Spirit Weapon. It was a cloud for a Cooter nsman cultivating the Mystic Mist Art.
For a royalty in Ellora Trade City, the Spirit Weapon used would be a piece of Haddlyok. This was the influence a cultivation technique had on the Spirit Container, reflected clearly through their Spirit Weapon.
Every Free Human wielded a Spirit Weapon. Hence, even if they were to switch to a different cultivation technique in the future, there was some influence left in their Spirit Container, which would cause them problems once they begin building their bodies.
Only the Free Humans serving the Cooter n were exempt from this. They didn''t have a Spirit Weapon, since they never cultivated a cultivation technique. Hence, it was easy for the Mystic Mist Art''s influence to take root in their unblemished Spirit Containers.
A tiny, cloud-shaped Spirit Container, barely spanning a couple millimetres in size appeared in his hand as In observed it, nodding in response, "It''s perfect!"
He took out a Lifeforce-rich Life Bomb and ced the extracted Spirit Container in it, ensuring the Lifeforce would stably maintain its condition without causing it to degrade or be damaged.
The Empyrean Zinger Kingnded on his wrist as In seeped Prana through it and into the Free Human, using his Quip Tribesman Prime Skill.
Since the Free Human no longer had a Spirit Weapon, even after bing part of the Quip Tribe, his presence would be the same as a fellow Free Human. Only when his Spirit Container forms would he gain the powers of a Quip Tribesman and begin exuding the presence of one—able to be perceived as such by Free Human Life-Stage cultivators.
Until then, he remained a Free Human, which was what In wanted. In Sumatra Continent, every single creature was born with at least one Prana, no exceptions. Hence, having zero Prana was an extreme case already.
He wanted to take advantage of this extremity to evolve his Quip Tribe into nsmen status, intending to achieve it before he obtained the Attribute. That was his end goal.
Right as the surgery concluded, the Empyrean Zinger Scouts took care of the Free Human, using Lifeforce-rich fluid from a Life Bomb to heal his wound, reverting his condition to a pristine state. They set him aside after that.
In the meantime, another Free Human was ced on the operation table. Without a moment''s hesitation, In began to repeat the process, gradually getting ustomed as his actions sped up.
He also dispatched groups of Empyrean Zingers to other inds, carrying arge number of vials with Mystic Mist Elixirs. It was to put the influence of Mystic Mist Art on more Free Humans.
It was a race against time as everyone worked to their limit.

Asaeya used her powers during the Death Hour to steal the senses of arge horde of Pranic Beasts. Immediately following that was a rain of Prana Bombs and Life Bombs to suck them dry of both Prana and Lifeforce.
"Thank you," In said upon seeing a Silver Grade Pranic Beast be dragged towards him by a group of thirty Empyrean Zinger Scouts, bound up. He touched the Silver Grade Pranic Beast using a Life Hand and absorbed its Lifeforce.
Taking on his female form, he created Life Bombs—ones capable of birthing a queen—using the excess Lifeforce. Once enough Life Bombs were created, the Empyrean Zingers targeted the Pranic Beasts on the ind with it.
Every Empyrean Zinger was a Mutated Silver Grade Pranic Beast, possessing two Natures. Therefore, when a group of them joined hands, defeating Silver Grade Pranic Beasts was easy, especially since they weren''t Centingers whose abilities countered them perfectly.
By the end of the day, In finished extracting the Spirit Containers of all 5800 Free Humans on Fral Ind. He had be damn quick by now, able to operate on four people every minute. It was possible because he could multitask, able to operate with only two Spirit Weapons.
The remaining two Spirit Weapons focused on a second patient, making the initial preparations necessary. So, once the cut was performed and the unified Spirit Container was created, In arrived before the Free Human, extracted their Spirit Container, and stored them. He then seeped in prana using the Empyrean Zinger King.
All logistics were taken care of by the Empyrean Zingers. Hence, the process became very quick once In umted some experience. The Free Humans were brought to their respective quarters by the Empyrean Zingers and ced there.
Once they wake up, they''ll be stunned to no longer feel Prana in their bodies. Even if they make aint, the Cooter n would only observe them in confusion, unable to figure out what had happened.
After all, in their perspective, the Spirit Containers of the Free Humans mysteriously disappeared. That could be the only conclusion, since they sported no injury on their body. This way, they''ll never be able to figure out the true reason.
Once Fral Ind was done, In rounded up all the Empyrean Zingers, hopped onto the Sumatra Ship, and fell asleep. Gann and Asaeya were in charge of rowing it as they made a beeline towards another ind.
By the time the Cooter n realises something is amiss and sends troops, they would have harvested Spirit Containers from at least three or four inds'' worth of Free Humans. They''ll then have to stealthily proceed forward during the subsequent chaos.
Both Gann and In were able to sense the Boar King getting closer. Only three days were left before his arrival. Moreover, the ship—carrying Wittral—would originally have returned to the base in the Dralh Sea''s interior zone after ten days, since it needed to visit many inds.
That would be toote, as the Boar King would have left the Dralh Sea long ago. Hence, he needed to time it urately, ensuring the Cooter n took action right as the Boar King arrived.
"Go!" Using Wittral''s Prana, arge quantity of Water Slip was created, holding a certain memory enacted to appear from Wittral''s point of view. Puppets resembling Cooter nsmen carried with them a cloud containing the Water Slip and sped in various directions, reaching other inds.
They sessfully stirred up the Cooter n.
