Upon returning to Tianshui City, a powerful sense of security immediately welled up in his heart.
"I almost got GG'd, but luckily Heaven didn't want me dead."
On this trip, he had hunted a total of two Level 3 Crystal Cores, one Tier 4 Crystal Core, and more than a dozen Tier 2 Crystal Cores.
He sold all the Tier 2 Crystal Cores, along with the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger's eye.
The Tier 2 Crystal Cores alone sold for over two million.
After the merchant appraised the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger's eye, he confirmed that it was genuine and of good quality.
The merchant offered fifteen million, and Su Luo naturally accepted.
He had struck it rich in one go. He now had more than twenty million in savings.
After a brief moment of thought.
Su Luo decided to buy eight Level 3 Crystal Cores outright.
Adding them to the two Level 3 Crystal Cores already in his possession.
He could directly raise the Devil Fruit Tree by another tier, bringing it to C-Class quality.
But when he said he wanted to buy eight Level 3 Crystal Cores.
The merchant shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Sir, Level 3 Crystal Cores are too scarce. I don't have that many."
"At the moment, I only have four. Do you want them?"
Su Luo could not help but be taken aback.
Still, Level 3 Crystal Cores truly were rare. It was understandable that there was no stock.
He paid for the four Level 3 Crystal Cores.
"Boss, if you get any more Level 3 Crystal Cores, save them for me."
"I'm willing to pay ten percent extra. I'll come back in a couple of days to buy them."
The boss nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.
He took a taxi back to the Shen residence, pulled out his key, and opened the courtyard gate.
He pushed open the door and entered the living room.
The three sisters were sprawled all over the sofa, asleep in every direction.
Empty instant noodle cups were still scattered across the dining table.
He raised a hand and cleaned the table.
Then he returned to his room to take a shower first.
The smell of seasoning powder mixed with the stench of blood.
Had made the taxi driver look at him with disgust the entire way, unable to understand how someone could smell so awful.
After showering.
He wiped his hair with one hand.
While taking out the Tier 4 Crystal Core with the other.
He gently raised his hand and fed it to the Devil Fruit Tree.
Before long, a familiar pink Devil Fruit appeared before Su Luo's eyes.
It was the Slippery-Slippery Fruit, which had beautifying effects and could make one's skin incomparably smooth and tender, achieving a zero-friction effect.
In One Piece, it had belonged to Alvida, captain of the Alvida Pirates.
After Alvida ate the Devil Fruit.
She had transformed from a bloated fat woman into a slim, stunning beauty.
Its beautifying effect was beyond question, and ordinary weapons would have a hard time hurting her as well.
The instant Su Luo saw this Devil Fruit.
He shook his head with a bitter smile, then let out a sigh.
"I went through all that trouble and nearly got myself killed."
"And in the end, you gave me this thing?"
He stood there blankly, feeling depressed for several minutes.
"Better to eat it than not. At least it can raise my Ability Level."
He plucked the Slippery-Slippery Fruit and devoured it in two bites.
Not long afterward, his body suddenly began to heat up.
He hurried into the bathroom, turned the water to its coldest setting, and began rinsing his entire body.
As the heat inside him rose, some unknown impurities began to seep out through his skin.
At the same time, under the effects of the Slippery-Slippery Fruit, Su Luo's body slowly began to change.
Su Luo had never looked bad to begin with.
Previously, malnutrition had left him pale and extremely thin.
As a result, no one could tell that Su Luo was a hidden gem.
But ever since leaving home, he had eaten well and slept well.
He had long since joined the ranks of handsome men and beautiful women.
As he walked down the street, countless girls came up to strike up conversations with him.
Now that he had eaten the Slippery-Slippery Fruit as well, his looks and physique would soar once more like a rocket.
Who knew how much time had passed.
The unknown heat within his body finally began to fade away.
The Slippery-Slippery Fruit's transformation of his body also happened to end at that moment.
Su Luo lowered his head and looked at the black filth all over the floor, a look of disgust appearing on his face.
He sensed that his Ability Level had already advanced to the first rank of Mortal Transcender.
A Mortal Transcender shed their mortal body and underwent a Life Leap.
Although his Ability Level had only risen by one rank.
The various attributes of his body had improved by far more than just a little.
He turned on the showerhead and took another shower.
After leaving the bathroom, he sat on the edge of the bed.
He took out a knife, placed it against his palm, and gave it a light cut.
The wound that had just been made healed without a trace before long.
This meant that his flesh had already transcended mortal flesh. He was no longer an ordinary human.
Although he could previously accomplish this with the Phoenix ability.
At the end of the day, that had merely been the effect of his ability.
His physical body had still been no different from that of an ordinary human.
He reached out and pinched the muscles in his arm, then lowered his head to look at his familiar eight-pack abs.
"My muscles are a little firmer, but overall, it doesn't seem like there's been much change?" Su Luo wondered.
Just as Su Luo wanted to pick up a mirror and look at his current appearance.
Shen Huaiyue's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Su Luo! Is that you? Are you back?"
Su Luo's hand reaching for the mirror immediately froze in midair.
He then called back loudly, "It's me! Wait a moment, I just finished showering. I'll be out right away!"
With that said.
He swiftly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
He entered the living room and looked toward the three girls on the sofa.
The three girls were suddenly stunned when they saw Su Luo's current appearance.
His face was like a work of art carved with exquisite care.
Sword-like brows framed a pair of deep, profound eyes.
His high nose bridge stood tall like a mountain peak.
The corners of his lips curved slightly, seeming to possess an endless power of allure.
His freshly washed hair had yet to fully dry, resembling sharp feathered arrows that shot straight into the girls' hearts.
The three girls all stood there with their mouths wide open, unable to force out the words that had reached their lips.
Then, as though they had thought of something, their cheeks flushed faintly. Their legs drew together involuntarily and began rubbing against each other uncontrollably.
Su Luo found it a little strange. Why was no one saying anything?
He did not think much of it.
He pointed at the instant noodle cups in the trash can.
"Girls, you should eat less instant noodles."
"I'll make you some proper food."
After saying that, Su Luo turned and entered the kitchen, opening the refrigerator to look for ingredients.
Outside, when the three girls saw Su Luo enter the kitchen.
They seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately collapsed onto the sofa, burying their faces in perfect unison.
Ten minutes later, Su Luo was still busily working away in the kitchen.
Of the three girls, Liu Yunyi was the first to raise her head.
Liu Yunyi's eyes were like autumn waters, her face like peach blossoms.
She cautiously rose to her feet and sneaked toward Shen Huaiyue's room.
No one knew what she did inside, but before long, she quietly came back out.
She walked into the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face, cooling down her flushed cheeks.
After washing her face, she reached into her pocket and touched the fabric inside, letting out a long breath.
After steadying herself, she walked out of the bathroom.
The other two sisters, who had originally been lying facedown on the sofa, had also vanished without a trace.
Liu Yunyi understood perfectly well what the two had gone off to do.
She glanced at Su Luo, who was busy in the kitchen.
Then she calmly returned to the sofa and began watching television.
