The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Since we're going for excitement, Atilan naturally has to go all the way.

If Vine Woman were to mobilize the forest's natural magic on a large scale in a short period, she would definitely be noticed by the Bearman, so Vine Woman can only slow down the speed of transforming the garden.

How could this work? The garden's fairy energy is directly related to the outcome of this confession event. If the forest's natural magic can't be used, wouldn't using the lake's elemental energy go unnoticed by the Bearman?

For the next seven days, Atilan fully demonstrated to Vine Woman and Lulu what it means to not produce water, but to simply be nature's porter.

Having already achieved a bit of superficial skill in the skill of Life Control, Atilan could briefly compress the lake's elemental energy and store it in his dragon body, transport it to the garden, and then release it.

As for converting the energy, that was left to Vine Woman and Lulu. Being a porter was already tiring enough.

Originally, Atilan was thinking of drawing water from the river next to the garden, but he was surprised to discover that the concentration and purity of water elements in the river were actually inferior to those at the edge of the lake.

And that's just the edge. He didn't dare to imagine how concentrated the water elements at the center of the lake could be, probably crystallized directly, right?

If he could hug pure water element crystals and absorb them every day, he could probably get through the wyrmling stage in less than a year.

Who has those conditions? Even in the Water Elemental Plane, pure water element crystals are not ordinary things. Which water elemental giant doesn't carefully store them in their lair?

Pure crystals can save lives at critical moments, just like when Atilan was on the verge of death, drinking life water equal to his weight could instantly restore even the heaviest injuries.

There must be differences in quality between pure crystals, but even the lowest quality elemental crystals are treasures that Atilan can't access now. At most, he can look forward to the forest producing natural crystals.

But with Old Deng maintaining the forest's operation, most of the energy nodes have been planted with treants and awakened treants. It's not that life acorns are bad, but life acorns can't replace the position of crystals.

Atilan remembered that when he was bored some time ago, he discovered the method of condensing elemental dragon pearls when browsing through his inherited memories.

It was so interesting. He didn't expect that ocean dragons would also condense dragon pearls. He thought that only Eastern dragons had inner core cultivation methods, but he didn't expect that ocean dragons also had them.

This kind of dragon pearl is called an Elemental Dragon Soul in the inherited memories!

Generally, ocean dragons only condense elemental dragon souls when they reach the young dragon stage in order to increase spell power and water element affinity. Ocean dragons prefer to use dragon breath and spells to fight.

And those ocean dragons who trust their claws and teeth more use the energy of condensing elemental dragon souls to temper their bodies in order to pursue a stronger destructive power in their dragon bodies.

It's not that elemental dragon souls are bad, it's just that the investment required to condense dragon pearls is too great. Even if elemental dragons aren't as stingy with treasure as chromatic dragons, they feel it's not worth investing in dragon pearls that are difficult to refine.

Even if the dragon pearl can continuously enhance spell power, restore physical strength and magic power, and even strengthen the body and other aspects to assist and amplify the dragon after it starts to condense.

However, all the ocean dragons who condensed dragon pearls failed to complete them, leading to no one knowing what the formed elemental dragon soul would actually do. An unclear prospect is the biggest obstacle for later attempts.

Atilan felt that he could refine a dragon pearl to play with, but it was impossible for him to invest a lot of resources to strengthen the elemental dragon soul.

Another advantage of the elemental dragon soul is that it will not dissipate after the elemental dragon dies, and can be passed on to future generations to continue nurturing. However, the elemental dragon soul also has a disadvantage, which is that it consumes a large amount of treasure accumulated by the dragon.

Compared to condensing elemental dragon souls, dragons still prefer to use these treasures to become guardians or apotheosis dragons!

Although apotheosis dragons are only level 0 in divine power, they will still die if killed, but apotheosis dragons have immortal characteristics, and infinite lifespan means infinite opportunities.

Even if they can't achieve apotheosis, apotheosis dragons can allow dragons to safely transform from the ancient dragon stage to the advanced dragon! Advanced dragons mean that after dragons reach the ancient dragon stage, which originally would no longer grow, they have the possibility of growing again!

But advanced dragons are like crabs molting, and each stage is a test of life and death. If they can get through it, their strength will increase and their lifespan will be extended. If they can't get through it, there will be no next advancement.

What awaits the dragon is aging and death!

Atilan's plan is to first change his profession to apotheosis dragon, achieve immortality, and then slowly increase his strength over time. This way, he will always have the day of apotheosis.

Establishing a natural empire is to build a basic foundation to resist harm from the outside world.

Just like now, there are the minotaur chieftain, centaur knight, satyr trickster, and merman priest. Forget about the kobolds. Guarding Atilan's side, could he really be dragon-slain by a team of four level 10 professionals?

Not to mention that he has won over a large group of druid partners from level 5 to 8. As long as Atilan does not destroy the balance of nature, the neutral alignment druids will definitely stand on Atilan's side!

"Why did you stop? The banquet will be held tomorrow, but the fairy energy is still not strong enough. Move it!"

"I can't move at all. I'm an ocean dragon, that's right, but it doesn't mean I can infinitely store and transport water elements, just like the lake is expanding outwards, you can't expect me to suppress it by drinking water."

Although discovering a new training method made Atilan a little happy, dragons also have limits. His dragon body's ability to carry water elements has reached the limit of its current stage.

His dragon body has not broken through to a length of more than five meters in the young dragon stage, and his life level has not broken through to the young dragon stage. What he needs now is not training, but precipitation!

"I remember that there are some fey creatures living in the forest. Why don't you invite them over to help? Just use the reason of preparing fairy performance programs for the banquet to invite them."

Lulu glared at him:

"Then what about you? You can't transfer water elements, and you can't just lie there, right?"

The lazy Atilan got up from the grass and patted the grass off his scales.

"I'm going to find the satyr. Have you forgotten about the magic cuisine that was the beginning of the plan? We haven't designed a recipe yet? If the cuisine isn't delicious, and we can't capture the master's stomach, how can we capture his heart?"

"Let Atilan rest for a while. He is better at preparing a happy banquet than I am. Not only will I and Big Bear be attending the next banquet."

"It's only once every three months, so we must not disappoint the druids who come to the banquet. This time, I can't cook myself, so I can only rely on you and the satyr."

Vine Woman, who had been sitting in the center of the garden, spoke. Beside her, vines full of flowers were absorbing the forest's natural magic and releasing fairy mist outwards in the form of floral fragrance.

Atilan felt a lot of pressure. Perhaps Vine Woman's culinary skills were not as extensive as his, but Vine Woman was indeed a culinary master. He and the satyr could only be considered amateurs.

He told Vine Woman the recipes for Chinese cuisine from his previous life, and she could localize a more reasonable, even more delicious recipe, after all, it was the ingredients and cuisine of the magic world.

If he wanted to surpass it, he could only go to the Classic of Mountains and Seas to find it.

The satyr, who finally got the chance to return to Green Scale Town, was enjoying his rare vacation, lying on a deck chair taking a nap in the sun.

"Satyr, open your eyes, I'm Atilan."

The satyr somewhat irritably tore off the leaves above his head.

"What's the matter again?"

"It's a major event that you will never forget in your life! It concerns the situation and decision-makers of the forest, so tell me, is it big or not?"

Looking at Atilan's playful eyes, the satyr didn't quite believe it and lay back on the chair.

"If you don't say it, I'll continue sleeping. Instead of fooling me, you might as well think about how your exotic fishman street will attract customers."

That's right, the Green Scale Town exotic fishman street has been completed, but he hasn't found suitable dancers yet, and there is only the satyr as a musician. The chef and brewer are both unqualified.

"Don't rush, let's deal with the main business first."

The satyr's eyes seemed to be saying, do you know what you're saying?

"The materials produced by the creeper spirit can be used to make a magic cuisine that enhances physical fitness, let's go."

The matter of scheming against the Bearman was too big, Atilan was afraid that the satyr would be frightened, so he didn't tell him, so as not to affect his mentality of cooking and using illusions.

The satyr came to the garden, and his saliva almost flowed out when he saw the dazzling array of magic cooking utensils in the kitchen. He had never fought such a wealthy battle in his life.

Cutting the tender shoots will not affect the creeper spirit. If the vitality is too active, it must be pruned regularly to maintain its life characteristics and avoid negative effects caused by rampant growth.

A plate of wheat noodles, steamed dumplings made of creeper spirit sprouts and petals mixed with lizard meat was brought to the table.

"Not bad, but still a bit short!"

"Again!"

The satyr turned and walked into the kitchen.

After several times, Atilan tapped the table and said:

"Why don't we try the first method again?"

It was not easy for the satyr to suppress the knife.

Finally, this day came. Even though the satyr was so tormented that he didn't want to be the head chef anymore, he still picked up the kitchen knife.

First of all, Atilan publicly performed lightning strikes on the creeper spirit. The creeper spirit was publicly killed, which won the cheers of everyone. After reading his thesis on lightning strike body tempering, everyone was even more eager to try.

Except that the petals turned into berries, which made the satyr a little hurt, everything went smoothly.

"Master, how about trying this magic cuisine that enhances physical fitness?"

The Bearman ate one steamed dumpling after another, and everyone only felt that the mist seemed to be getting thicker, and the singing of the fairies dancing in the flower field became clearer and louder.

The Bearman's eyes were slightly hazy, and he mechanically continued to eat the steamed dumplings. A vine extended to his feet, and wooden thorns pierced the soles of his feet. Vine Woman's bewitching magic began to work.

Atilan quietly approached the Bearman and cast the dragon's innate words of temptation.

"Master, do you want a wife? If you do, boldly express the love in your heart!"

The Bearman stood up stiffly, his eyes looking in the direction of Vine Woman.
