In a king-sized bed, a handsome young man appeared to be sleeping peacefully until the morning sunlight streaming through the window of his top-floor mansion room interrupted his slumber.
The young man's black eyelashes flutter for a few moments before his eyes open. After waking up, he looks around his room, grabs his phone, and checks the time and message but he didn't have any message.
He sent Olivia a 'good morning' message and began to smile, feeling hopeful after finally proposing to her. Although she hadn't replied yet, he was confident that she would respond soon.
Asher rose from his bed, walked to the window, and gazed outside, feeling a surge of gratitude for the system that made residing in such a mansion a reality, once a mere dream for him. After pondering for a few moments, he proceeded to the bathroom for a swift refresh. Minutes later, he emerged and headed towards his closet.
Gazing at his closet, spacious enough for a tall person to stand inside, he noted it remained as empty as the day before. Having moved into this mansion, he hadn't found the time to organize his clothes within it, as he had been late for his date.

After unpacking his belongings, he started to rearrange them. He chose not to remove his old clothes and some other items from the inventory, preferring to preserve them as mementos for his parents. The inventory was the ideal place for this since time stood still there.
He finished arranging all his belongings, a task that took nearly three hours, and then he left his mansion to embark on his first daily mission, but not before greeting Iris.
"Good morning master"
"Good morning, Iris and please look after my mansion" Iris (Ai) is like a proper human being except she didn't have physical body, and Asher doesn't even need to clean his mansion as it is all automatic which is control by Iris. He even doesn't have to cook but he still has to cook in order to complete his daily mission.

[Ding]
[You have been successfully completed the 1st daily mission rewards will be sent]
[100 points have been added to your system point]
After completing his first daily mission, he received a new task to begin cultivation. Considering he had planned to start cultivating today, receiving this mission felt like an added bonus for him.
[New Mission: Start cultivation
*Reward: 10000 points, 1 gold lucky draw and $25000000]
Asher entered his kitchen to make breakfast, but upon seeing the tool, which was much more advanced compared to his old one, he couldn't help but sigh. He began preparing breakfast dishes, including a soft-boiled egg with toast, and freshly squeezed orange juice for a drink.
After having a light breakfast, he entered his room to begin his cultivation practice. Having already taken a five-day leave from college, he wasn't too concerned about his academic responsibilities.
He sat on his bed with legs crossed, to start but confused about whether there was a specific technique to follow. He was about to ask the system for guidance when, anticipating his need, the system provided him with instructions.
[Ding]
[A technique has been added to your inventory]
[Host, you need a technique to begin cultivation, so consider the one added to your inventory as a gift. Before you start, purchase a body cleansing pill from the store.]
"Alright, system, open the store." He was grateful for the technique, knowing well that it would be costly.
[Opening the store]

5. Blood refining pill ---> 2000 points
6. Breakthrough pill ----> 10000 points...]
"Shit"
Seeing the price, he couldn't help but curse, realizing that all his saving points would be spent on purchasing the pill.
He wanted to ask the system about the pill, but the system again answer him first.
[Ding]
[Host if you don't want to use you can ignore it but using the pill will give many benefits]
[Using this pill will accelerate your cultivation and ensure a smooth breakthrough by cleansing all impurities from your body. Many cultivators are unaware of such a pill and begin cultivation without it, which can lead to complications during breakthrough. Although your impurities have been cleared during merging, using the pill will enhance the process.]
Upon hearing that, he didn't hesitate and purchased the pill, which was rainbow-colored and observing the pill, he was quite surprised by its strong fragrance. Without hesitation, he placed the pill in his mouth, and as soon as he did, it melted swiftly and was surprisingly tasty.
In reality, a body cleansing pill is not flavorful; it's tasteless and lacks any fragrant smell, being completely odorless. Moreover, it's not rainbow-colored; the pill ought to be blue. However, the system deceived Asher by displaying it in the system store as a body cleansing pill, and the pill he purchased is one that he could never obtain in the mortal realm even at higher realm it is hard to get.
In the future, he will understand the true function of that pill, which will prove beneficial to him, aligning with what the system intends.
Seconds after swallowing the pill, his bones began to crack, and blood started oozing from his entire body. The pain he experienced was so intense that it made him grunt. He refrained from getting unconscious by clenching his teeth, yet eventually, he lost consciousness.
While he was unconscious, his body began to transform; the previously red hue blood shifted to a mix of red with streaks of green, gold, and blue. His skin turned to a jade white, and his stature grew to an imposing height of 6 feet 7 inches.
Suddenly, a bright light emerged, and from it, a hand appeared. Judging by the appearance of the hand, it seemed to be that of a woman. The hand released a few drops of liquid into Asher's mouth and then disappeared.
