Chapter 721 Vara Palm Print


    Since the Spirit Container had been fused with a mineral, it was pretty stable. That allowed In to use his Skill of Palm Stitch to pretty much stitch the Spirit Container onto his palm, using the tension to knead the Spirit Container like a dough and make it expand along the print on his palm.


    Currently, it had oveid perfectly, bing one with the palm print. As long as In remains careful with his palms and doesn''t p them on rocks nonstop, the palm print won''t be damaged.


    It meant he could use the Vara Palm Stitch as if it were a Vara Human Avatar. That was possible. And if he so needed, he could instantly use Palm Stitch to stitch the Vara Palm Print onto any surface and make it emanate its respective power there.


    Its uses would be apparent once the Vara concentration bes potent enough to hold an Iron Grade Nature. For that, In would have to repeat the process multiple times and fill not only the palm print on his right but also his left.


    This way, he could hold two Natures, which gave him more than enough foundation to enter the Varahan Empire and live there as one of its citizens.


    For the next nine months, In focused on strengthening the palm print on his right, gradually increasing its Vara concentration.


    "Sir Bin, you''re relentless." Wepetay raised an eyebrow upon seeing In, "You''ve been using up a lot of resources without remorse. But more than the resources, I''m confused by your determination. How can you press forth after so many failures?"


    "Failures?" In chuckled, "I''ve never failed, not a single time. I have simply been healing my Spirit Container over the past few months."


    "Healing?" Wepetay tilted his head slightly, expressing his curiosity, "Has your Spirit Container been damaged or something?"


    "Well, back in the days, when I was young and bold, I fought a Centinger." In scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "I paid the price for my arrogance as my Life Stage cultivation was destroyed. No matter what I did, I couldn''t even progress through the Spirit Stage."


    "But now," He grinned, "Gold Inheritance Art has been slowly, but surely healing me. Every time I touch the Body Stage, I can feel my Spirit Container healing before I drop to the Spirit Stage."


    "That is…amazing!" Wepetay expressed in awe, "I never knew you were going through something so treacherous, Sir Bin. Please pardon my priorments. I simply assumed you were wasting resources while being indignant about your potential."


    "Haha, I''m not old enough to give up on life. So, I might as well give it a shot, since it will give me a few more centuries of lifespan." In said as he received a small packet of Vara alongside some medicines, "Thank you for this."


    Just as he was about to leave, In thought a little and stared at Wepetay, "Do you wish to see my healing process?"


    "I would love to, but unfortunately, I don''t have the time." Wepetay smiled wryly as he pointed at the group of people from the Noikatol Kingdom staring at him from nearby, "I need to guide them all, work on scout reports of this region, and n our expansion from here."


    "You''re too busy," In paused as he observed Wepetay''s face, noticing thetter''s exhaustion disyed vividly through his dark circles and puffy eyes, "Try to maintain a work-life bnce."


    His tone turned serious as he said, "You gained a lot of strength in recent times, which makes you think you''re invincible. But remember that you are still a person. Hunger and exhaustion are both problems even if you''re a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, not to mention your current self."


    "I understand," His eyes widened a little before Wepetay nodded in realisation, "I''ll try to rest whenever possible."


    "Good," In nodded and began to walk away, "When I seed, I''ll give you an Information Slip recording my healing journey. That should help you learn a little."


    "Thank you, Sir Bin." Wepetay nodded without a hint of arrogance. He was someone who tried his best to remain humble and interact with the people in the Noikatol Kingdom, all while keeping in mind his past as someone from a Kingdom too.


    After so many months of remaining at the Petrichor Savanah, he had a decent rtionship with In and tried to converse with thetter whenever possible. He liked to hear about In''s survival exploits in the wilds while only possessing Spirit Stage cultivation.


    Originally, he didn''t think In was anyone special, for thetter didn''t stand out from the crowd. However, the crowd in question here was the Noikatol Kingdom, who were all enamoured by In''s tales.


    As they praised his experience to Wepetay, the man got curious too, which prompted him to strike up a conversation with In. That was how the two came to know each other, unaware that In was subtly steering the people to mention him to Wepetay as casually as possible.


    Using his unique experience as a chip to be a respected individual in the eyes of third parties was one of In''s ns.


    Carrying the bag of resources, he calmly walked to his tent when noticing the figure of Vir standing at its entrance, emitting Silver Grade strength.


    "I''m done," Vir said with a determined expression as he turned the tip of his index finger into the Vara Human Avatar, "I''m at the Body Stage now."


    "Guess this is where we part ways." In nodded as he watched Vir''s face scowl in response.


    "Are you not worried?" Vir red at In, "I''m already at the lead, significantly so. At this rate…"


    "Are you worried?" In chuckled as he slowly took a few steps forward, "If it helps you, think of it like this."


    His eyes turned cold as he muttered, "I''m giving you a head start. Let''s see if you''re able to do anything worthwhile with it before I arrive there."


    "Your arrogance is unnecessary," Vir snorted and walked away, pausing a little to utter, "I don''t have aplete grasp of your ns, but I''m not concerned. I''m clear of what I want to achieve here and I''ll be going ahead with it, whether or not you can keep up."


    "Did entering the Body Stage ignite your confidence?" In taunted, "We can fight now if you want. You might finally be able to defeat me, since you now have Silver Grade strength."


    "I would love to wipe the floor with your face, but I have my pride." Vir red once before walking away, "I won''t allow you to make any excuses when I defeat you at your own game."


    His expression was serious as he muttered, "I''ll wait until you''re at the same level as me."


    ''You''re speaking as if I''m inferior currently.'' In chuckled with ridicule as he watched Vir walk away, thinking calmly, ''You''re my n, kid.''


    ''The Wean n will copse because of you.'' In let out a wide smile as he entered his tent, ''Well, that''s what I want to achieve, anyway. It''s the easiest way to get into Brangara''s head, since he already is suffering from mental wounds because of Ruvva''s birth.''


    Though he tried his best to never disy it, Brangara was hurt by the fact that Yarsha Zahara had given birth to a child that wasn''t his. Irrespective of how much he tried to delude himself otherwise, Ruvva''s existence was an undeniable fact.


    And when the same nonsense happens with his Granddaughters, Brangara will be incensed, which would make him explode with the bottled-up emotions.


    The best thing about this n is that In didn''t even have to do anything in response. Vir would do all that on his own and harness arge amount of Brangara''s hatred. After all, no matter how much Vir tried to copy In, their strengths were different.


    So, even the gains he got through observing In would eventually be applied to Vir''s field of advantage, which was interpersonal rtions. He could easily forge a rtionship with another person, even if it wasn''t long-lived.


    Vir excelled in that field. Therefore, since In was constantly reminding Vir about their race, his pride, and ego would make him lean towards that field. The pressure he feels from In''s ns would make Vir go all out with his attack, which was bound to mess up the family dynamics of the Wean n.


    ''Let''s see what he can do.'' In thought in interest, ''Even back at the Mammoth n, he endangered the 43rd Empyrean Tusk and its respective Settlement while merely being at the Spirit Stage.''


    "He''s a genius scum," In muttered a few dayster as he watched Vir enter the Railway Station and board the railway to the Varahan Empire. Since he was at the Body Stage now and had a Vara Human Avatar, he gained eligibility to be a part of the Varahan Empire.


    At the railway station, the duo silently eyed each other as the railway—that Vir had boarded—departed. They didn''t have to exchange any words with each other, their intentions clearly ryed to the other party through gaze alone.


    ''Don''t cry when I seed!''


    ''My grandma said delusional idiots die a dog''s death.''


    ''Your grandma was mute!''


    ''You should watch your mouth, kid. You''ll give away your identity to Yarsha and die a dog poop''s death!''


    ''Quote one more reference with a dog, and I''ll pulverise you right here and now!''


    ''Come out if you dare! Oh, you can''t alight from a moving train? Poor you!''


    Veins popped on Vir''s forehead as he began to curse from his seat adjacent to the window, flipping at In.


    "These dog barks are annoying," In looked around as if he was irritated, trying to find where the dog was barking from before turning towards Vir, "Oh, there it is."


    "I''ll fucking punch you!" Vir bellowed with all his might as the railway left the station and sped through the long tunnel leading all the way to the Varahan Empire. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Insulting Vir was a peaceful activity for In, who now felt refreshed to resume his work. He nced at the palm print on his right and resumed the process. Every time he reached the Body Stage, he extracted the Spirit Container that had fused with Vara and made it a part of his palm print.


    A few monthster, at one of the rocky hills of the Petrichor Savannah, In sprinted across the ce and targeted a Balghat—that had already activated its Primary Nature—with shockwaves. Intense sounds rattled its ears, causing it to faint, following which In threw a yarn of wool at it after seeping a unit of Prana into it.


    The yarn of wool expanded into a and trapped the Balghat, preventing it from wrestling free. While it tried to break free with its limited flexibility, In took out a knife that he had been sharpening over the months and made an incision.


    He seeped Prana into it, manoeuvring it as a Tangible Piezo Slip, and determined the urate location of its Spirit Container in its heart. Following that, he activated Mystic Royal Art and extracted its Spirit Container.


    Prime Skill—Spirit Container Extraction!


    Upon grabbing the Balghat''s Spirit Container, he didn''t store it in a vial. Instead, he ced it on the palm of his right and activated the Skill of Palm Stitch.


    His Vara Palm Print naturally took effect as the Balghat''s Spirit Container was being stitched into it, absorbing thetter''s Nature.


    "Eww!" Inmented as the remainder of the Balghat''s Spirit Container turned into a murky paste once its Nature was absorbed into the Vara Palm Print. He cleaned his hand and stared at the palm print, noticing that its colour faintly resembled the wool of a Balghat, implying that it now held the Balghat''s Nature.


    ''Indeed, Gracious Inheritance is an offshoot of Voracious Nature.'' In thought as he noticed some changes happening to his body in response to the Nature''s influence, ''As long as I stitch a Spirit Container onto my Vara Palm Print, it would be the same as having consumed the Spirit Container using Voracious Nature. So, I''ll be getting that Nature.''


    As he was only at the Spirit Stage, the influence generated by the Balghat''s Primary Nature was extremely potent. His hair began to grow across his body at densities he had never seen before, almost making him resemble a monkey in a matter of hours.


    He felt physically exhausted, as most of his reservoir of carbohydrates and fats had been consumed to satisfy the explosive hair growth. In dragged the Balghat to a safe spot and began to consume it, waiting patiently to see the extent of the Nature''s influence before he''d activate it.


    ''If this works, I can start a tattoo business.'' Multiple ideas bombarded him the moment he had the thought, causing him to frown for a couple of minutes, following which he ate in silence, ''Let''s not get worked up too much.''


    ''There''s still a lot of things to do.'' He let out a soft sigh and tried his best to rein himself to reality and now allow his thoughts to wander off.
