C20 Threevein Connection

The Heavenly Essence Pill was a crystal-clear, emerald-glowing medicine, clearly no ordinary item. If word got out, countless warriors at the Vein Connecting Stage would fight over it! A single Heavenly Essence Pill could guarantee the opening of a Heaven Rank Essence Vein, a Grade Three pill worth thousands of dollars. If auctioned at the right moment, it might even fetch a hundred thousand!

Grade Three pills, especially the elusive Heavenly Essence Pill, were so rare that even a place like Cloud Soaring Hall might not produce a batch in a year. In a remote area like Great Flame City, it could be a decade before one appeared at auction! Simply put, money alone couldn't guarantee a purchase.

Despite its high cost, for prominent families, enabling a young prodigy to open a Heaven Rank Essence Vein was worth every penny. Any warrior who could achieve this would have a promising future. Even with steady progress, in ten years, they could reach the late period of the Soul Connecting Stage, or even likely ascend to the Heaven Connecting Stage!

A Heaven Connecting Stage expert was a formidable presence in Great Flame City. A family that could nurture such a warrior would dominate the city!

Qiao Gao gazed at the so-called Heavenly Essence Pill in his palm, the scent wafting to his nose. He frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. "This Heavenly Essence Pill is mediocre. The aroma is barely passable, and the potency isn't at its peak. The Pill Refining Master missed the mark."

If anyone overheard Qiao Gao, they'd be shocked, maybe even mocking. Not satisfied with a Heavenly Essence Pill? Those are top-tier, way better than anything from a second-rate place like Cloud Soaring Hall!

"Guess I'll make do. It should open up three veins," Qiao Gao shrugged, popping the pill like candy.

The pill dissolved instantly, releasing a surge of energy like a flood, rushing through Qiao Gao's body.

"Hmm, not bad," Qiao Gao noted, his face flushed with intensity.

Such a powerful energy surge would leave most fighters in agony, if not ruin their energy channels entirely. But Qiao Gao had mastered the Divine Body Refinement technique, making him impervious to the pill's force.

Within moments, a dormant energy vein inside him blazed to life, strong and radiant.

"Buzzing~~~"

Qiao Gao vibrated all over as his Holy Rank spine vein and the first Heaven Rank vein resonated together.

"Three-vein Connection!"

"The third Heaven Rank vein!"

Qiao Gao felt power coursing through him. With a light step, he shot forward like a black lightning bolt, moving with incredible speed, as if walking on clouds.

"Is this what it feels like to connect the three veins?" Qiao Gao's eyes gleamed with intensity. The pressure released from unlocking all three veins was comparable to that of a warrior who had connected five or more veins.

And this was merely the pressure of raw energy. If he were to unleash the Holy Rank Essence Vein at close range, even a master at the Soul Connecting Stage would be suppressed by Qiao Gao!

Previously, in the Devil Dragon Mining Area, Qiao Gao had managed to suppress Senior Hwang Ningxue, who was at the Soul Connecting Stage, thanks to his sudden awakening of the Holy Rank Essence Vein.

Of course, that was because Hwang Ningxue was caught off guard. If she were to face Qiao Gao again, she likely wouldn't be so easily subdued.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Qiao Gao reined in his aura, letting the three essence veins fall into a deep slumber, especially the Holy Rank Essence Vein in his spine.

"Come in," Qiao Gao called out.

Zhou Qing entered, asking if Qiao Gao wanted to extend his stay.

"No need!" Qiao Gao replied. It was unnecessary since today was the first day of school, and he couldn't skip it. Even though he possessed the memories of the Myriad Tribulation Pill Monarch and didn't need Flowing Cloud Academy, his family, especially his father, still had high expectations for him.

Zhou Qing closed the door, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Feeling smug, are we? Let's see how you survive outside the black market."

She thought no one heard her, but she overlooked a small shadow hidden in the corner outside the door...
