Returning to Tianshui City, a strong sense of security immediately welled up in his heart.
"Almost died, but thankfully heaven didn't abandon me."
This trip, he had hunted a total of two Tier 3 Crystal Cores, one Tier 4 Crystal Core, and over ten Tier 2 Crystal Cores.
He sold all the Tier 2 Crystal Cores and the eyes of the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger.
The Tier 2 Crystal Cores from this harvest sold for over two million.
The merchant appraised the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger's eyes and confirmed they were genuine and of good quality.
The merchant offered fifteen million, and Su Luo naturally accepted the deal.
He was instantly rich, currently possessing over twenty million in savings.
After a brief period of thought.
Su Luo decided to directly purchase eight Tier 3 Crystal Cores.
Combined with the two Tier 3 Crystal Cores he already had.
He could directly upgrade the Devil Fruit Tree to the next rank, reaching C-class quality.
But when he asked to buy eight Tier 3 Crystal Cores.
The merchant smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Customer, Tier 3 Crystal Cores are too rare. I don't have that many."
"Currently, I only have four Tier 3 Crystal Cores. Do you want them?"
Su Luo was taken aback by this.
However, Tier 3 Crystal Cores were indeed rare, so it was understandable that he was out of stock.
He paid for the four Tier 3 Crystal Cores.
"Boss, if you get any more Tier 3 Crystal Cores, please save them for me."
"I'm willing to pay an extra ten percent. I'll come back in a couple of days to buy them."
The boss nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, agreeing to his terms.
He took a taxi back to the Shen family's residence, took out his key, and opened the gate to enter the courtyard.
He pushed open the door and entered the living room.
The three sisters were sprawled on the sofa, fast asleep.
On the dining table were empty instant noodle boxes, all eaten and drunk.
He raised his hand and cleaned up the dining table.
First, he went back to his room to take a shower.
The smell of seasoning powder mixed with the scent of blood.
The taxi driver had been looking at him with disgust the entire way, unable to comprehend how someone could smell so bad.
After his shower.
While drying his hair.
He took out the Tier 4 Crystal Core.
He gently raised his hand and fed it to the Devil Fruit Tree.
Soon, a familiar pink Devil Fruit appeared before Su Luo's eyes.
It was none other than the Slippery-Slippery Fruit, which had beautifying effects and could make the skin incredibly smooth, achieving a zero-friction effect.
In One Piece, it was the Devil Fruit eaten by Alvida, captain of the Alvida Pirates.
After Alvida ate the Devil Fruit.
She transformed from a bloated, overweight woman into a slender, beautiful woman.
Its beautifying effects were undeniable, and ordinary weapons could hardly harm her.
The moment Su Luo saw this Devil Fruit.
He smiled wryly and shook his head, then sighed.
"All this effort, and I almost died."
"And all I get is this thing in the end?"
He stood there stunned, feeling dejected for a few minutes.
"Might as well eat it since it's free. At least it can increase my ability level."
He plucked the Slippery-Slippery Fruit and ate it in two bites.
Before long, his body suddenly began to feel hot.
He quickly rushed into the bathroom, turned the water to the coldest setting, and began rinsing his entire body.
As the heat inside him rose, some unknown impurities began to be expelled from his skin.
Meanwhile, under the effect of the Slippery-Slippery Fruit, Su Luo's body began to change slowly.
Su Luo wasn't unattractive to begin with.
Before, due to malnutrition, his complexion had been pale and he looked very thin.
This made it impossible for anyone to see Su Luo's potential.
But ever since he left home, he had been eating well and sleeping well.
He had long since become the type of person who could be called a handsome man or a beautiful woman.

Walking on the street, countless girls struck up conversations with him.
Now that he had eaten the Slippery-Slippery Fruit again, his appearance and physique would soar like a rocket.
After an unknown amount of time.
The unknown heat within his body finally began to subside.
The body modification from the Slippery-Slippery Fruit had also just concluded.
Su Luo looked down at the black waste all over the floor, revealing a look of disgust.
Sensing his ability level, he had already been promoted to the first stage of Mortal Transcender.
Mortal Transcenders shed their mortal bodies and undergo a life leap.
Although his ability level had only increased by one stage.
His body's various stats had not just increased by a small margin.
He turned on the shower and took another bath.
After leaving the bathroom, he sat on the edge of the bed.
He took out a knife, placed it on his palm, and made a light cut.
The wound that had just appeared healed without a trace in a short while.
This indicated that his physical body had shed its mortal shell; he was no longer an ordinary human.
Although he could achieve this before with his Phoenix ability.
Fundamentally, that was just the effect of the ability.
His physical body was still no different from that of an ordinary human.
He reached out and squeezed the muscles in his arm, then looked down at his familiar eight-pack abs.
"The muscles are tighter, but overall there doesn't seem to be much of a change?" Su Luo wondered.
Just as Su Luo was about to grab a mirror to see his current appearance.
Suddenly, Shen Huaiyue's voice came from outside.
"Su Luo! Is that you back!"
Su Luo's hand, reaching for the mirror, froze in mid-air.
He immediately responded loudly, "It's me! Wait a moment, I just finished showering, I'll be out soon!"
After speaking.
He quickly and neatly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
He entered the living room and looked at the three girls on the sofa.
The three girls were stunned when they saw Su Luo's current appearance.
His face was like a meticulously carved work of art.
A pair of sword-like eyebrows complemented his deep eyes.
His high nose bridge stood tall like a mountain peak.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, as if possessing infinite charm.
His freshly washed hair, not yet completely dry, resembled sharp arrows, piercing the girls' hearts.
The three girls' mouths were all wide open at this moment, and the words on the tip of their tongues were stuck.
Then, as if thinking of something, their cheeks flushed, their legs involuntarily closed together, and they rubbed against each other.
Su Luo found it a bit strange, why weren't they talking?
He didn't pay it much mind.
He pointed to the instant noodle boxes in the trash can.
"Girls, you should eat fewer instant noodles."
"Let me cook you a proper meal."
Su Luo turned and entered the kitchen, opening the refrigerator to look for ingredients to cook.
The three girls outside saw Su Luo enter the kitchen.
They seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, slumping onto the sofa, and with perfect understanding, buried their faces.
Ten minutes later, Su Luo was still busy in the kitchen.
Among the three girls, Liu Yunyi was the first to lift her head.
Liu Yunyi's eyes were like autumn water, her face like a peach blossom.
She quietly got up, tiptoeing towards Shen Huaiyue's room.
After doing who knows what, she quietly came out again not long after.
She walked to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face, cooling her flushed cheeks.
After washing her face, she reached into her pocket, touched the fabric, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Adjusting her mindset, she walked out of the bathroom.
The two sisters who had been lying on the sofa had also disappeared.
Liu Yunyi understood what they were doing.
She glanced at Su Luo, who was busy in the kitchen.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she sat back on the sofa and started watching TV.
