Nascent soul realm cultivators weren't anything uncommon or surprising for the kings and patriarchs here.

What was, though, was the appearance of the Nascent soul realm cultivator.

The Nascent soul realm was a unique point for the cultivator during which their physical appearance was fixed. They would keep on looking like that until they reached the end of their lifespan, after which they would age rapidly.

Other than this, one could also age due to injuries and other difficulties.

But in the case of the young girl in front of them, they were extremely sure that she was really young and not just due to her cultivation. Even without seeing her bone age, they could just analyze her demeanor and estimate that from their appearance.

'How old is even she? Sixteen seventeen? Even if she reached the Nascent soul realm recently, this is still really fast.' The patriarchs were stunned.

They were the most experienced in this and had seen many young geniuses. Wang Xiong and several more such talented individuals were already present here. And yet, the young woman seems to exceed all of them somehow.

Cang Ci looked at the unmoving faces of the people and wondered if she had done something wrong.

"Ah! And this is the Emeraldine Pulse Cicada. He's my tamed beast partner as well as one of the servants of King Lin Wu." Cang Ci introduced.

The kings and patriarchs looked at the large beast underneath her and were impressed. The beast was over five meters wide and six meters long. Its wings shimmered in a green hue, while its mandibles were made out of green crystals.

Even on its carapace they could see several emerald crystal embedded. It emanated a strange aura that they had never felt before. But when they felt the spirit Qi fluctuations, they realized that the beast in fronts of them was not weak either.

"Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm…" Patriarch Bing noted.

Any tamed beast that was at the Nascent soul realm was quite valuable and in recent times it had become quite popular to have them. This trend was started by the Millennium Forest Kingdom with their armed beast escorts, protecting the merchant caravans.

Many aristocrats found it to be a new way of displaying their wealth and got several beasts as their tamed beast. Of course, even for them, getting a nascent soul realm beast was easier said than done.

But what the millennium kingdom had popularized were work contracts for the beast. Thus even if they could hire the beasts, they would only listen according to what was decided on the contract.

Unlike a tamed beast, which could be ordered around as long as they were reasonable.

"Welcome. We've been waiting for you." Wang Xiong decided to break the ice.

"Thank you for your welcome, Senior Wang Xiong." Cang Ci said with a bright smile.

She was dressed in a lime green dress and had her hair in pigtails, looking like the first blossom of spring.

"Are you from… King Lin Wu's 'lineage'?" Wang Xiong asked curiously.

"Ah no! I'm unworthy of that Senior Wang Xiong." Cang Ci hurriedly replied. "While King Lin Wu has given me his grace, I am not on the same level as you." She stated.

Wang Xiong iong understood what she meant and nodded his head.

'She doesn't seem like someone famous from before. Senior might have taken her under his wing and let her serve him.' Wang Xiong guessed.

"If I may interfere here." Patriarch of the Dark Plains sect suddenly spoke.

"Yes?" Cang Ci looked at the old man.

"Can we see the cure that King Lin Wu has prepared? We'd just like to dispel our doubts." The patriarch asked.

The others nodded their heads in agreement as they too, were wondering about it.

"Of course!" Cang Ci nodded her head like a little chick pecking grain.

She opened the little pouch that was hanging on her waist and put her entire hand inside. She seemingly searched for something before pulling her hand back out.

~SHUA~

A slight breeze came from the pouch before a dark brown object rose. Cang Ci's hand was clamped around a handle that was attached to the object.

~THUD~

Cang Ci put it on the ground, allowing everyone to see the dark brown box.

"Ugh!" But as soon as they sensed the smell, their noses wrinkled.

"What is that?" The King of the Juhe kingdom asked while pinching his nose.

An almost visible stink rose from the dark brown box.

"It is… ~clack~ Dung!" Cang Ci said, easily ignoring the smell.

"Dung!?"

"Why Dung?"

The people were taken aback and so was Wang Xiong.

"It is a special mix of Beast Dungs made under the instructions of King Lin Wu." Cang Ci replied.

"Pardon me… but what would dung do for us?" The kings were still lost.

Some were even worried, wondering if they had been duped. After all, they had agreed to a cost before even knowing what it might be.

"Well… King Lin Wu said that since the blight spreads thorough water, using normal methods like fungicide would not be good. It might kill the blight, but it would also affect the water quality as well as the nearby flora and fauna.

So instead of that, he found a better solution that will kill the blight and not harm the area either." Cang Ci stated.

Hearing this, the kings were surprised. They had seen Dung being used as fertilizer often, but never as a pesticide or fungicide.

"The Dung has unique organisms inside it that will kill the blight. You can say that we will kill the blight by giving it a different kind of blight." Cang Ci added.

"I see…" Wang Xiong was a little lost, but since this was approved by Lin Wu, he had no reason to reject.

Cang Ci looked at the faces of the leaders and saw that they were still a little lost.

"Should I start the work? I have literal tons of Dung to spread." Cang Ci said with her cute smile.
