Jiang Chen felt somewhat emotional. Six years ago, he had also been about the same age as these children in front of him, waiting for Su Yuntao to awaken his martial soul for him.
And now, he was going to help others awaken theirs.
It was a very peculiar feeling.
Jiang Chen tried his best to make his tone gentle. "Don't be afraid. Big Brother will be very gentle; it won't hurt at all."
Then he took out five Peiyuan Pills and tempted them, saying: "If you eat these five candies, there's a chance you'll awaken a martial soul that allows you to cultivate and become a spirit master."
The villagers watching from all around had their eyes light up instantly. Several parents hurriedly urged their children to eat them quickly.
Whether it was the word "candy" that worked or because the pill was too fragrant, the five children couldn't hold back. Each took one and impatiently stuffed it into their mouths.
"This candy tastes really good."
"My body feels so warm, like something is drilling inside."
"Big Brother, I want to eat more."
These children smacked their lips. Before they could even chew the pill, it had already turned into a warm current flowing down.
That full-mouth sweet and refreshing fragrance made them crave more.
Jiang Chen shook his head and said helplessly, "There's no more. Each person can only eat one of these candies."
Then he looked at Old Jack and said, "Grandpa, in the future, when any family's child reaches five years old, give them one pill. One year is enough time to fully absorb the medicinal effect."
"Good." Old Jack's face was full of gratification, his face beaming with smiles.
He seemed to already see the day when Holy Soul Village would produce a large number of spirit masters.
But what about the quota for work-study students? It was truly troublesome.
Jiang Chen said to the two girls behind him: "Come help, assist them in refining it."
Qian Renxue and Xiao Ying had long been somewhat curious about helping children awaken. Upon hearing this, they immediately walked over.
The three of them input their soul power into the children's bodies, guiding the medicinal power to circulate quickly within them and accelerating absorption.
Jiang Chen controlled his soul power to prevent the toxins from leaking out and harming the children.
More than ten minutes later, the medicinal power in the five children's bodies had all been absorbed.
"Begin."
Jiang Chen took out the energy stone, arranged it in the same way as Su Yuntao had done, and had the first little girl step forward.
After eating Jiang Chen's candy, these children no longer felt any fear toward him and were looking forward to what kind of martial soul they would awaken.
The process went very smoothly. Under Jiang Chen's guidance, a Blue Silver Grass appeared in the little girl's hand.
It was actually Blue Silver Grass. Jiang Chen felt somewhat disappointed in his heart and finally experienced Su Yuntao's bitter mood.
He took the crystal ball from Xiao Ying's hand and signaled the little girl to place her hand on it.
The crystal ball emitted a faint light, indicating that this little girl possessed soul power and could cultivate.
Seeing the crystal ball light up, the surrounding people became excited. They had long known what the lighting of the crystal ball represented.
It meant she had the qualifications to cultivate and become a spirit master.
"Innate soul power of level one. Work hard at cultivating in the future, and you can become a Blue Silver Grass spirit master." Jiang Chen did not say anything discouraging.
After all, level one soul power was already extremely rare for a small village.
Of course, freaks like Tang San and Jiang Chen could not be mentioned in the same breath.
No matter what the martial soul was, as long as it could be cultivated, even with just a tiny bit of soul power, almost every village would vigorously nurture it.
The second little boy awakened a fire poker martial soul, but his soul power surprised Jiang Chen a bit, it actually reached level two soul power.
Level two soul power was already the same as Su Yuntao's. With hard cultivation, he should be able to become a great spirit master in his twenties.
Next, sickle, hoe, and firewood-cutting knife martial souls appeared one after another, with two at level one soul power and one at level two soul power.
All five children, after taking the Peiyuan Pills, possessed the qualifications to cultivate.
Their innate soul power had all been raised by about one to two levels.
Moreover, the Peiyuan Pills from earlier had only been hastily refined; there was still a small portion of medicinal power that would slowly take effect later.
The Peiyuan Pills had the greatest improvement effect on people with low aptitude. For those who were already monstrously talented, like Jiang Chen, the improvement from one pill was not obvious.
After receiving Jiang Chen's affirmative reply, the villagers thanked him profusely and excitedly led their own children back home.
The scene was just like parents in his previous life learning that their child had been admitted to university, so happy.
Being admitted to university meant rising above others!
That was what parents thought in their hearts.
"Everyone disperse. When Su Yuntao comes over later, have him issue an awakening certificate to supplement it." Jiang Chen said.
The villagers dispersed, but Old Jack walked up with a worried look.
"Little Chen, awakening soul power is a good thing, but our village doesn't have that many work-study student quotas."
Old Jack's expression was full of worry.
In the past, the village couldn't produce even one spirit master in more than ten years. Now, suddenly, so many children can cultivate. For these quotas, wouldn't the villagers fight until their heads were broken and blood flowed?
The old village chief had a far-sighted vision and immediately thought of this possibility.
Jiang Chen's thoughts were somewhat wandering. Only when he heard Old Jack speak did he react.
He smiled and said, "If they can't go to Notting Academy, then go find Su Yuntao. He is now the hall master. It should be no problem for these children to study in the Notting City branch hall for a year or two. If they perform well, they might even directly become deacons in the Spirit Hall."
Old Jack clapped his hands forcefully, his eyes lighting up, and exclaimed: "Great idea."
"Little Chen, you are truly a great benefactor to our village. If things continue like this, in just a few years our village will become the number one large village around Notting City."
Old Jack smiled so widely that his mouth could hardly close.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Chen took out the remaining Peiyuan Pills, all five bottles in total, and stuffed them into Old Jack.
"Grandpa, you must hide them well and not let the villagers steal them."
"Rest assured. Grandpa has eaten more salt than you've eaten rice; there won't be any accidents." After Old Jack finished speaking, he contentedly hugged the five bottles of pills and left.
Jiang Chen turned his head and found that Qian Renxue's expression was somewhat dazed.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ying was bored, staring wide-eyed and looking around everywhere.
"Xue'er, are you also thinking about the Peiyuan Pills?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qian Renxue came back to her senses, and her face suddenly flushed with excitement.
At this moment, she truly had an impulse to hug Jiang Chen and kiss him fiercely.
The power of these Peiyuan Pills had completely shocked her today.
She originally had innate twentieth-level talent. She had eaten eight or ten of these Peiyuan Pills, but the effect was minimal.
Jiang Chen himself had also eaten several, and the improvement brought was not obvious.
Xiao Ying only had an obvious increase in cultivation speed after continuously eating several pills.
But they had all previously overlooked one issue, which was the effect of Peiyuan Pills on ordinary people.
Today, seeing Jiang Chen continuously awaken five children who could cultivate, they suddenly realized and understood the terrifying aspect of these Peiyuan Pills.
"This Peiyuan Pill is terrifyingly powerful!" Jiang Chen exclaimed.
"What are you talking about? What's so terrifying about the Peiyuan Pills?" Xiao Ying asked in confusion.
Qian Renxue said, "Xiao Ying, tell me, if a war breaks out, are there more ordinary soldiers or more spirit masters?"
Xiao Ying's slow brain was still full of question marks. Without hesitation, she said: "Definitely more ordinary soldiers. In large-scale wars, soldiers play the main role. The number of spirit masters is pitifully small compared to ordinary soldiers; I still know that much. Even a Title Douluo powerhouse, if falling into a million-strong army of ordinary soldiers, has the possibility of perishing."
Qian Renxue said seriously: "Those five children just now originally should not have had soul power, but under the effect of the Peiyuan Pills, they all have one to two levels of soul power. Do you understand now?"
Xiao Ying frowned and thought for a moment. Her eyes suddenly widened in shock as she said: "Miss, what you mean is that in the future, the soldiers of our Spirit Hall will no longer be ordinary people, they will all be spirit masters!"
Qian Renxue nodded: "Exactly."
"Then wouldn't our Spirit Hall possess an army of a million spirit masters?" Xiao Ying blurted out, her entire person almost petrified.
This was too shocking.
Qian Renxue shook her head and said: "It's not that easy. Although there are Peiyuan Pills, the difficulty of turning all soldiers into spirit masters is still very great. Moreover, our Spirit Hall's military strength is not as enormous as that of the two empires; we only have several hundred thousand. Our advantage lies in the number of spirit masters we possess."
Jiang Chen said: "Correct. The production speed of the pills is one issue, and there's also the problem of spirit rings. Wanting to let several hundred thousand soldiers obtain spirit rings is not something that can be completed in a short time."
Qian Renxue said: "However, the Peiyuan Pills have already given us the advantage. The further we go, the greater this advantage will become. In a few years, our Spirit Hall can possess an army of several hundred thousand spirit masters."
"These spirit master soldiers, even if they only have one ten-year spirit ring, facing the enemy's ordinary soldiers would be a one-sided slaughter!"
