After Ning Yue and a few other kids finished their performance on stage, they saw Mu Jinyu signaling them with a wave. Once off the stage, they immediately approached him.

"Big brother... were you looking for us?"

Ning Yue, his little face still flushed, possibly from their recent exercise, looked up curiously at Mu Jinyu.

"Yes, here, take this to eat..."

Mu Jinyu opened the stopper of the jade bottle in his hand, poured out five small pills, and spread them out in his palm, indicating for Ning Yue and the others to come over and each take one.

The five little boys looked curiously at the black pills in Mu Jinyu's hand. Although they didn't know what it was, Mu Jinyu had just helped Aunt Mei deliver a lot of supplies to them and even helped to move them in, so they trusted that this big brother wouldn't harm them.

So without much hesitation, they each reached out, took a pill, tilted their heads back, and swallowed it down with a few bites.

The old principal watched this scene. Even though he trusted there was no reason for Mu Jinyu to harm these children, he still felt a bit nervous, fearing something might go wrong.

"So hot..."

Not long after Ning Yue and the others ate the pill, they felt a warmth spreading throughout their bodies, and waves of white steam began to rise continuously from their heads.

"Start practicing cultivation now."

Seeing they hadn't sat down cross-legged to cultivate, Mu Jinyu spoke up to remind them.

"Oh, okay..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Ning Yue paused for a moment before realizing and was the first to sit cross-legged on the ground, beginning to cultivate according to the method taught to him by the staff at the orphanage, refining the wave of heat rising within him.

The remaining four boys followed suit, sitting down one after the other and also starting to channel and refine the medicinal energy.

Huaxia had long followed Mu Jinyu's national martial cultivation plan due to its execution, so even Ning Yue and the others, being orphans in an orphanage, had learned the most basic cultivation method, which could at least bring them to the Mingjin level.

Thus, Mu Jinyu didn't deliberately teach them a new cultivation method before letting them take the pills.

The pills he gave them were called Essence Qi Pills.

A superior elixir among first-grade elixirs, best suited for cultivators in the Refining Essence into Qi stage.

The stages of cultivation are divided into Refining Essence into Qi, Qi Refining and Spirit Transforming, Refining Spirit Returning to Void, and Refining the Void to Merge with the Tao. In the Refining Essence into Qi stage, cultivators most need abundant Essence Qi to refine Qi Force, True Qi, and True Yuan using their bodies as a furnace...

The younger one steps into the Divinity Transformation Realm, the smoother the cultivation path in the future.

In earlier times, before the spiritual energy revival, even a Master of Energy Transformation if they didn't step into the realm of Qi Refining and Spirit Transforming to become a Divine Realm Warrior, as they aged and weakened, losing their Essence Qi, they would inevitably grow feeble, and a Martial Arts Grandmaster at the Peak Energy Transformation could possibly be defeated by a robust Minor Grandmaster at the Early Energy Transformation Stage.

With no opportunity to step into the Divinity Transformation Realm at all.

Even though the current environment is not as harsh for cultivators as it was before, the earlier one steps into the Divinity Transformation Realm, the better.

And Essence Qi Pill is most suited for cultivators at this stage to consume for cultivation.

If there were an aged Peak Energy Transformation Grandmaster in Huaxia with a foot in the grave, Mu Jinyu could give them the Essence Qi Pills to gradually improve their weak bodies, maybe even give them a chance to step into the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Of course, such elderly Martial Arts Grandmasters are hardly possible in Huaxia now. They either perished in the past dark turmoil or, thanks to the spiritual energy revival, obtained a Spiritual Medicine on Famous Mountains and stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm long ago.

"Are they... okay?"

The old principal watched the five kids like Ning Yue cultivate, and the more he watched, the more worried he became, finally mustering the courage to ask Mu Jinyu.

In her eighty-some years of life, she had never seen such a thing. Although she didn't believe Mu Jinyu would harm the children, she couldn't help but worry.

Mu Jinyu smiled brightly at the old principal, shaking his head: "Don't worry, Aunt Du, it'll be fine soon. By then, one or two of these kids should step into the Mingjin stage..."

"Mingjin, Aunt Du, do you know this stage?"

Mu Jinyu, worrying the old principal might not understand, asked another question to clarify.

"Mingjin? Oh... I know, I know, it's the first stage of cultivation, right?"

As soon as the old principal heard Mu Jinyu's explanation, surprise quickly overcame her.

The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's efficiency was high. Even though the old principal was just an eighty-four-year-old ordinary elderly a year ago, thanks to their comprehensive education, she understood the current division of cultivation realms, and how elementary and middle school kids who could achieve the Mingjin level could qualify for further cultivation method training, assuming they passed evaluations of their moral character.

If the talent is high, they might even receive strong support and training from the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

But, even with high cultivation talent, if their moral character doesn't meet standards, they won't be given further cultivation techniques to prevent future harmful intentions and deeds, additionally placing them under surveillance for a while to ensure accidental fortunes don't harbor ill feelings, which could be disastrous.

So hearing Ning Yue and the kids, at just seven or eight years old and in elementary school, if reaching the Mingjin stage, showcasing remarkable talent, their obedience and sensibility should naturally pass moral evaluations and earn further training in dark energy or even Energy Transformation techniques.

With this, they would surely mature into accomplished individuals, sparing her further concerns.

"Yes, barring accidents, a few should reach the Mingjin level, so you'll have one less thing to worry about," Mu Jinyu nodded.

"By then, with outstanding performance in school, they'd surely join the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in the end," Mu Jinyu added.

Instead of saying they would eventually join the Dragon King Hall, it was decided long ago that Dragon King Hall would transition to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, leaving the national defense of Huaxia to them in the future.

This was why he returned this time, handing over many cultivation manuals to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

Knowing he would eventually leave Earth with his family, it wouldn't do to leave a leaderless crowd, thus assigning the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow the national martial cultivation plan, enabling them to recruit top talents nationwide.

Having made this decision, he wouldn't intervene midway, nor would he prematurely teach Ning Yue any further cultivation methods unless they proved exceptional.

Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's assessment methods were mature, given Ning Yue and their performance, passing and receiving subsequent training, thus receiving significant support without his intervention.

"Wonderful..." The old principal exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.

Listening to their conversations, though the kids hadn't fully understood, some grasped portions, realizing Ning Yue and his peers were exceptional, possibly future stars at school, growing into impressive individuals, and glanced at Ning Yue with envy, then turned eager eyes towards Mu Jinyu.

Or rather, to be precise, Mu Jinyu's jade bottle!
