Mu Jinyu naturally noticed the eager longing in the children's eyes.
They only looked longingly at the jade bottle in his hand but did not beg or make a fuss, which made people feel tenderly sorry for their understanding.
Mu Jinyu smiled, seeing that the performance on stage had officially ended, and then waved the jade bottle in his hand, saying, "Come, all of you, line up to receive the pills."
"This... Mr. Mu, wouldn't this be too extravagant..."
The old director swallowed upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, speaking with a mix of longing and embarrassment.
From Mu Jinyu's words, the Essence Qi Pill can advance the replenishment of more Essence Qi, helping to better step into the Mingjin realm.
If it truly has such miraculous effects, considering the martial arts dominance worldwide, the price of an Essence Qi Pill would surely exceed one hundred thousand.
After all, many parents spend a lot on school district housing for their children's education, whether buying or renting, and the children may not necessarily succeed.
But this Essence Qi Pill ensures that if the children have a certain talent, after consumption, they can more quickly step into the Mingjin realm, with a chance to receive cultivation from the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. Even if the pill costs one hundred thousand apiece, wouldn't people go crazy trying to buy it?
So, one hundred thousand per pill is a conservative estimate; many people would likely rush to buy it even for a million apiece.
If Mu Jinyu took out five Essence Qi Pills to give to Ning Yue and the other talented children with potential, it could be seen as pitying them and hoping they have a broader horizon after reaching the Mingjin realm.
Since the orphanage accepted Mei Yinxue's donations worth over five hundred thousand, for Ning Yue's future, the old director could thick-skinnedly accept it and thank Mu Jinyu for his gift.
However, not every child in the orphanage has the gift of cultivation. If Mu Jinyu gave every child an Essence Qi Pill, too much money would be spent, and the old director felt it would be hard to bear.
Unable to thick-skinnedly accept it either.
Mu Jinyu smiled, casually saying, "These aren't valuable things, nothing extravagant, come on... kids, line up to get your elixir and eat."
For Mu Jinyu, a First Grade Essence Qi Pill really wasn't worth much.
Whether it was the herbs for alchemy or crafting the Essence Qi Pill, he could cultivate suitable spiritual medicine in a minute, then create dozens of Essence Qi Pills in another.
The old director's suggestion to give Ning Yue them some pills reminded him that he could mass-produce First Grade Elixirs like Essence Qi Pills and let the people of Dragon King Hall or Great Xia Dragon Sparrow go to those orphanages to find suitable gifted and virtuous children for cultivation to prevent them from falling behind.
Not knowing the true value of the Essence Qi Pill, the orphanage staff let the children line up to receive them once Mu Jinyu said so, without stopping them.
After distributing the Essence Qi Pills to all the children, Mu Jinyu warmly asked, "Do you all know how to cultivate?"
"Yes!"
"No..."
The children all raised their hands and shouted loudly.
But only half of the children had learned, while the other half, due to being too young or not very quick-witted, couldn't learn it, shaking their heads timidly.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu said, "The children who know it can first take the elixir in your hand, then sit cross-legged to cultivate with Ning Yue..."
"Okay."
Half of the children immediately popped the Essence Qi Pills into their mouths and sat cross-legged to begin cultivating as Mu Jinyu instructed.
Just seeing Ning Yue's transformation, although unclear why, made them envious, and now eager to have their own chance, wasting no time.
Mu Jinyu watched their reaction after taking the pills, and once he confirmed they all knew the most basic cultivation method, he looked away.
Then he said to Wen Rou, Jian Ruyan, and Mei Yinxue, "Let's go teach the children the most basic cultivation methods."
"Okay." Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue smiled gently and nodded in agreement.
Jian Ruyan hesitated for a moment, but also nodded.
Although she hadn't taught anyone to cultivate before, and felt some resistance, facing the innocent children, she also thought she could give it a try.
Then they each gathered a group of children to teach them the basic cultivation methods again.
After half an hour.
The children like Ning Yue, who took the Essence Qi Pills first, had woken up and opened their eyes, and three of them truly reached the Mingjin realm.
Although the other two didn't step into the Mingjin realm immediately, with the help of the Essence Qi Pill, they weren't far off.
Ning Yue demonstrated the changes of a Mingjin Warrior to the orphanage staff on the spot, thrilling the children learning the cultivation method with Mu Jinyu's group, each filled with admiration.
They learned with even greater enthusiasm.
Finally, over half of the children quickly mastered the cultivation method under the stimulus, and then Mu Jinyu instructed them to practice with consumption.
But there were still a dozen or so, seemingly mentally challenged and possibly abandoned by their parents for this reason, unable to learn no matter how taught, just looking eagerly.
"Alas, forget it. You just eat it, and we'll help you refine the medicinal power."
Mu Jinyu sighed softly in the end, not forcing them to learn the basic cultivation method, and spoke.
"Oh yeah."
The dozen-or-so children cheered joyfully upon hearing they could eat too, and quickly popped the Essence Qi Pills into their mouths.
Shortly after, white smoke rose from their heads as well.
Mu Jinyu then signaled Mei Yinxue and the other women to help them refine the Essence Qi Pill's medicinal power.
Though they couldn't cultivate, with experts from the Fanxu Realm and even Unity Realm Stage helping refine the medicinal power, their bodies could absorb some Essence Qi, strengthening their physiques even if they couldn't reach the Mingjin realm.
With aid from Mu Jinyu and Mei Yinxue, these dozen children, although having eaten the elixir later, woke up faster.
They then found their bodies became light and agile, trying their hands playfully without fighting, and finally came over to thank Mu Jinyu at the staff's suggestion.
Mu Jinyu smiled, waved, and asked the orphanage staff and the old director, "Do you know how to cultivate?"
"Yes..." Some of the younger staff replied hesitantly.
But the old director, at eighty-five years, couldn't remember anything from the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow people who came to teach, acknowledged she didn't have many years to live, and didn't intend to learn.
"Come, you should get some too, as gratitude for your care of the children."
Mu Jinyu asked Mei Yinxue to teach the old director, then spoke to the staff.
After some hesitation, the staff finally stepped forward.
When they received Mu Jinyu's Essence Qi Pills, they were taken aback.
"Mr. Mu, how... how could you give us three pills?!"
