Chapter 71: Treasure

"Alright, Nora. I’ll transfer the money to your account. You haven’t changed it, have you?" Miya replied as she took out her phone.

Nora glanced at the director, who nodded. She then nodded at Miya.

"Done," Miya said afterward, while Enzo had already gotten off the bed.

He looked at his hand, which had suddenly turned copper-colored.

It was simply a change in the color of his skin.

It was exactly like when his skin was covered with Spiritual Energy.

The only difference was that it provided no real benefit because he already had Spiritual Energy that he could use.

Whether it was the copper or his Level 3 Spiritual Energy, both could only increase his physical strength by the same amount.

Combining the two naturally made no difference.

"Come on, it’s time to go back," Miya said to Enzo, who nodded calmly.

He then followed Miya as she walked straight toward the door.

The CIA Director and Nora naturally followed them outside.

"Umm..." The CIA Director suddenly cleared his throat before Miya could take Enzo flying again.

"Speak," Miya immediately responded, understanding that the director had something to say.

"Lady, could you tell us what kind of resource could help solve the problem of being unable to cultivate?" the CIA Director asked.

"Why do you think I know?" Miya replied, frowning.

"I think you do," the director replied, glancing at Enzo.

Clearly, he suspected that some resource from Miya was what had allowed Enzo to cultivate.

People would probably continue to assume that no matter how much time passed.

Miya chuckled softly before saying, "Enzo relies on his determination, that’s all. You can do it too if you push your determination to the same level."

"Determination?" Both the CIA Director and Nora were stunned.

"You need to stop assuming that I’m the one helping Enzo. I only helped provide him with techniques and insights to make cultivation easier. Why? Do you not believe me?" Miya looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Yeah, it doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. In the end, you’ll realize that your efforts are completely meaningless."

She then pulled Enzo up and flew away.

Whoosh!

She shot forward, and an instant later, they were already above a vast, dense forest.

"Has Nora ever worked for you?" Enzo asked.

He deliberately spoke first to prepare himself for Miya’s questions about his body.

He had made that guess because Miya had Nora’s bank account information.

"Yes..." Miya nodded. "She was my high school friend whom I gave a job to. However, because of her personal obsession, she committed several violations. If she weren’t my friend, she wouldn’t have been living comfortably until now."

After saying that, Miya immediately looked Enzo up and down.

It was more like a thorough examination.

Enzo couldn’t hide his awkwardness.

"You, could it be..." Miya began.

"I really had a breakthrough..." Enzo replied.

In fact, that was exactly what happened. The System had directly allowed him to reach Enlightenment at Level 3.

"Really? Level 3? It should only be a Level 3 body that could make that needle break."

"Yes, Level 3..." Enzo nodded.

This time, Miya finally fell silent for quite a while, her expression thoughtful.

Enzo wanted to sigh, but he felt too awkward to do so.

If someone else were in this situation, he might have thought of them as a monster beyond common sense.

He was somewhat worried that Miya would see him that way.

But after remaining silent for a while, the woman smiled faintly.

"Looks like I accidentally picked up a treasure," she said.

Then, a kiss landed on Enzo’s cheek.

He froze in embarrassment.

"Don’t hesitate to tell me what you need to strengthen your cultivation," Miya said again.

Enzo nodded lightly.

They had discussed this many times, but what he needed to do was give his wife something.

"I need some time to prepare that special copper," he said.

"There’s no need to rush," Miya replied.

Enzo could indeed sense that the copper essence could produce the special copper, but he needed a process to produce it, and he couldn’t do that while flying like this.

Not long afterward, they landed on Stanley Mountain, earning curious looks from the servants because they had left by car but returned like this.

"I’m going to the Spiritual Pool," Enzo told Miya.

He felt like calling her honey too, but his tongue still felt too heavy to actually say it.

Miya nodded, allowing him to go to the Spiritual Pool.

Although Body Cultivation had nothing to do with Spiritual Energy, Enzo felt that he would progress faster there because being in that place would practically put him in the best possible condition.

He entered the house with a roof full of holes.

It was empty as usual, since even the servants couldn’t use the place casually.

Sitting in the middle of the pool, he immediately sank into deep concentration.

For the essence to produce the special copper, what it needed was his own push.

Buzz!

His entire body turned copper-colored, but it was merely a change in the color of his skin, so it didn’t make him feel stiff.

However, because his Spiritual Energy was also active, his body began emitting a yellowish glow.

Buzz! Buzz!

His push caused copper in various shapes to emerge from his skin.

This was merely ordinary copper created naturally.

It wasn’t what he was looking for, so he ignored it.

But he had to admit that the copper he produced was incredibly pure and extremely dense. A single handful could weigh as much as 10 kilograms.

A while later, he felt something on his head.

The essence existed throughout his entire body, but the part in his head was what produced the special copper.

His hand instinctively covered his forehead because he was worried that it might fall.

It was too small.

His hand could feel a tiny piece of copper that had already formed.

He couldn’t pull it out because it was essentially being produced directly from his skin.

If he forcibly pulled it, it would simply break off.

Click!

Suddenly, a sound like a lock being opened came from his forehead.

He opened his eyes as the copper had fully formed.

He quickly looked at it and found a small, spherical piece of copper that looked so bright it seemed almost like gold, emitting a rather dazzling light.

’How strange,’ Enzo thought as he looked at the copper.

He couldn’t tell what its function was, even though it had been born from his own body.

Still, it felt as if it contained a life of its own.

’This should also exist outside, but it must be extremely rare,’ he thought.

He then stood up and stretched his body while storing all the copper he had produced.

Miya wanted that special copper. That was the point.

She would get what she wanted, while he would get a reward from the System.

When he stepped outside, he encountered Eva standing one meter in front of the door.

He hadn’t noticed her at all earlier.

"Master, may I ask you something?" she said, confusing Enzo.

"What do you want to ask?" he asked.

"Do you know why my mother was arrested by Mr. Aaron? Is it true that she was involved in the crimes committed by Oliver Green?"

"Your mother was arrested?" Enzo was slightly surprised.

But then he remembered that Aaron needed to investigate the identities of the Spiritual Warriors gathered by Oliver, because they were the ones who had become the Giant Zombies ready to explode.

Eva was clearly worried because the woman was her mother.

Even though the Solace Family was very close to the Stanley Family, serious crimes could naturally result in severe punishment.

The Stanley Family would not hesitate to execute anyone involved in betraying them.

"Your mother should be fine," Enzo said briefly before leaving.

He felt that it wasn’t appropriate for him to reveal anything more.

However, judging from what he knew, what the woman had done was simply selling people for profit. She probably had no idea about Oliver Green’s greater objective.

As long as she had no intention of helping him, the Stanley Family shouldn’t be overly harsh.

It wasn’t something Enzo needed to worry about either. He began to smile when he arrived at the terrace of his wife’s residence.

However, he didn’t find her when he entered the house.

He couldn’t sense her presence either.

Who knew where that woman had gone this time?

Enzo could only sit on the sofa and wait while taking out his phone.

The first thing he opened was the university forum.

He rarely checked it, but since he hadn’t gone to university today, he wanted to know what had happened.

As it turned out, there was indeed some interesting news.

Liam Stanley had successfully advanced to Level 4.

A video of it had even spread across the forum. The movement of his hand produced a purple slash that sliced through a huge boulder.

It seemed to be the basic version of Crescent Moon Slash.

Enzo didn’t find it particularly interesting.

He simply went back to examining his tiny piece of copper.

After some time had passed, the door opened, and Miya entered carrying a large plastic bag in her hand.
