Cultivation Technique—Silver Immunity Art!

This was the primary reason behind the creation of the Primary Nature of Parasitic Immune System. It was also what set the Quip Tribe apart from the other Ravaged Tribes.

A Pranic Beast would place its imprint on a Free Human and make him part of its Ravaged Tribe. However, this imprint would hinder all Free Human cultivation techniques from taking effect. And if the cultivator tries to forcefully cultivate using a Free Human cultivation technique, his Spirit Container would shatter, resulting in his Prana reaching zero.

That was a death sentence for a cultivator, since going from zero to one unit of Prana was an unsurmountable task. Not everyone was like Resha to overcome that situation.

For a Free Human cultivation technique to function, the Spirit Container must be pure. The Pranic Beast's imprint was an impurity, a major obstacle, like a mountain smack dab in the middle of a river, blocking its flow entirely. Therefore, it became very hard for a Ravaged Tribesman to cultivate and accumulate Prana.

Their only choice was to resort to traditional means, which was to stumble upon Parute Fruits and ingest them to build up Prana. Otherwise, it would take their bodies forever to naturally accumulate Prana.

It would take at least a year or two to increase Prana by one unit naturally. And with the short lifespans of Ravaged Tribesmen, reaching the Body Stage was an impossibility.

Maybe generation after generation of suffering later, the Ravaged Tribe would eventually conceptualise a cultivation technique suiting their condition, allowing them to cultivate. Their situation would improve after that.

Eventually, many generations later, the cultivation technique would be perfected, allowing the Ravaged Tribesmen to reach the Body Stage in large numbers. Only at this point would they be recognised as a legit Ravaged Tribe. Before that point, they were simply fledglings with no value or recognition.

Inala referenced the Mammoth Clan's Mystic Bone Art and the Brimgan Empire's Gold Kinesis Art. By coupling it with his Primary and Tertiary Nature, he derived the Silver Immunity Art.

It was a Silver Grade cultivation technique, a far cry from the likes of Gold Kinesis Art and Mystic Bone Art. But it was still a potent cultivation technique, at the peak of the Silver Grade.

The Quip Tribe would cultivate this cultivation technique. And through it, they would quickly build up their Prana and reach the Body Stage.

And upon reaching here, they'll experience two modes of growth. First would be their body. This growth was based on Inala's Stage 1—Jaw—transformation. Hence, they'll grow an Empyrean Zinger's jaw and claws at the Body Stage. 

The second growth was Prana-based, derived from the Gold Kinesis Art and numerous Free Human cultivation techniques, resulting in the Primary Nature of Parasitic Immune System.

When Gappu reaches this Stage, he'll take on his Ravaged Tribe form and use his sharp claws to injure his target. Suppose he's fighting a Slump Lizard, he'll lodge his claws in its body.

His Primary Nature would allow him to absorb trace amounts of Prana and even tracer amounts of Lifeforce from the Slump Lizard. This will become active when his claws dig into its body and come into contact with its blood vessels.

Thereby, the claws would absorb the Prana carried by the Slump Lizard's blood.

Inala's Prana Bomb was capable of absorbing ten Prana in a second. In ten seconds, it would be filled with Prana.

The claws of Gappu would be many times inferior. At its peak, he'll be capable of absorbing a unit of Prana every couple of seconds. The absorbed Prana would be filtered into a version compatible with his body automatically, similar to Inala's Prana Hand.

The Lifeforce would aid Gappu in healing his injuries. Thereby, Quip Tribesmen would become experts in close combat.

Of course, there was another reason for the Primary Nature being named as Parasitic Immune System. When Gappu's claws dug into a Slump Lizard, while his claws absorbed Prana and Lifeforce from the target's blood, the Slump Lizard wouldn't feel any pain.

This would be similar to a leech's bite as the claws secreted a neurotoxin with similar properties. The Slump Lizard would know of the attack—through sight and smell—as long as it wasn't asleep. Moreover, the moment Gappu retracts his claws from its body, the effects of the neurotoxin would vanish, making it feel pain immediately.

While absorbing Prana, the claws would also take in trace amounts of nutrients from the Slump Lizard's blood, refining itself similar to how a Brimgan Empire Royalty refined a Spirit Weapon using the Gold Kinesis Art.

With refinement, the jaws and claws of a Quip Tribesman became stronger, gaining special properties according to the substances constantly absorbed by the Quip Tribesman and refined.

When this refinement is done for years and the level of refinement is taken to the extreme, the Quip Tribesman would mutate.

Yes, mutation. This was derived from the Millinger's data. As a Pranic Beast race, the Centingers had solidified their mutation path, capable of stably creating Millingers out of Centingers. Of course, the success rate was minimal at best, but it was possible.

The Gold Kinesis Art too had the capability to create a Secondary Nature in a Brimgan Empire Royalty when the refinement is taken to the extreme. But it was a Gold Grade cultivation technique. Therefore, the Secondary Nature it was trying to create was at the Gold Grade, which was why it almost never happened.

In the case of a Quip Tribesman, the resultant Secondary Nature was only at the Silver Grade, incomparably weaker as compared to a Gold Grade Nature. Hence, the creation difficulty was vastly easier in comparison.

Upon a successful mutation, the Quip Tribesman would experience another round of growth. If Gappu reaches this stage, his Lifespan would increase to eighty years. Secondly, his Prana limit would increase to 740.

Finally, his Ravaged Tribe form would obtain a second transformation, which was Inala's Stage 2—Wing—transformation. Gappu's limbs would transform into an Empyrean Zinger's, now able to glide around in the air.

Reaching this point would be the absolute peak as a Quip Tribesman for Gappu, the end of his growth. Here, he'll obtain his Secondary Nature, the focal point of Inala's future plans.
