As the dragon's aura faded back into Sam's body, along with the surrounding residual energy and aura, Sam remained seated in his lotus position. His eyes remained closed, completely unaware of the transformations that accompanied his bloodline awakening.
With the awakening of his bloodline, Sam's appearance had subtly changed.
He had become even more handsome, and his once black hair had transformed into a fiery red, cascading down to his shoulders. Yet, despite these alterations, his eyes, with their familiar ocean-blue hue, remained shut.
As Sam delved into this awakening process, the Codex, too, played its role in the background.

"Looks like he's entered the Tranquil state already," Aunt Lor remarked.
"Yeah," Sam's mother, Helena, studied Sam closely and squinted slightly. "Hey, don't you sense something different about him?"
"Hm?" Aunt Lor observed Sam for a moment. "Yeah, his hair turned crimson, is that what you're talking about?"
"No, there's something else," Helena replied, her gaze still fixed on Sam, searching for a hidden truth.
"Well, he does look more handsome than before," Aunt Lor mumbled, a hint of desire in her eyes and on her face.
Helena couldn't help but hear her younger sister's words and thought to herself that Aunt Lor was being overly provocative. "Why are you always so horny for my son."
"Look at that," Aunt Lor pointed at Sam, and Helena followed her gaze, scrutinizing Sam closely. With his clear complexion, fiery crimson hair flowing down to his shoulders, and his crisp white shirt and black pants, he did indeed appear quite handsome.
"Now tell me you don't feel the same way," Aunt Lor teased.
"I don't," Helena replied firmly, turning her gaze away from her younger sister, refusing to meet her eyes.
However, Lorraine was quite certain that she had spotted a very subtle blush on her older sister's face.
'I could work with that,' she thought to herself.
It was clear that Helena also found Sam very attractive and handsome, but she didn't entertain any unusual feelings as her younger sister did. Even if she did, she would never admit it.
Four hours later.
Sam's body suddenly emitted subtle waves of energy.
"Oh, it looks like he finally made it to the lower Qi Condensation realm," Aunt Lor remarked, sensing the breakthrough, and she gave her older sister a heads-up.
"Yeah... it took him a good five hours to get there," Helena sighed, reminiscing about her own cultivation journey. She'd reached the same realm in just an hour.
'I mean, even with those two types of spiritual veins, it shouldn't have taken him this long, right?' She started to worry about Sam's progress.
Just then, Sam casually opened his eyelids, revealing his sparkling blue eyes. His attention naturally gravitated toward the messages displayed by the codex.
"Hmm? I inherited the legacy of the first Supreme Immortal," Sam mused, his brain now brimming with all the basic and hidden knowledge about cultivation, cultivators, and the various realms of cultivation.
He activated the codex within his mind, and suddenly, information about himself materialized right before his eyes.

Sam's initial reaction was perplexed, "What the heck? I'm definitely not horny, Codex, are you acting up?" He felt a surge of irritation as the codex seemed to be insinuating he was feeling a bit lusty.
Inwardly, he knew he wasn't particularly in that state of mind.
However, a quick glance at his younger brother, who was practically bouncing off the walls, made him reluctantly admit, "W-Well, I guess I'm feeling a tad bit... you know."
He brushed it off with a nonchalant shrug.
After all, he was still a teenager, and these random urges for absolutely no reason weren't a new phenomenon.
Sam proceeded to scan through the information displayed one piece at a time.
Nothing surprised him since inheriting the will of the Eternal Dragon Monarch had also bestowed upon him a comprehensive knowledge of his newfound inheritance.
What truly caught his interest was the Physique he had acquired: The Mystic Voidheart Harmonic Physique.
Its standout feature was the ability to master any kind of Dao.
While it wouldn't be immediately useful, considering he needed to reach the Dao Seeking Realm first – a journey that would undoubtedly take time.
Also, it wasn't entirely without merits. It promised to accelerate his skill mastery and maximize their efficiency along the way.
With the Mystic Voidheart Harmonic Physique, any martial skill Sam chose to learn would be mastered at a much faster rate than anyone else could achieve.
Furthermore, this unique physique enhanced his senses and heightened his spiritual awareness, providing him with greater control over his abilities and skills.
Among the three thousand physiques listed on the Earth-Heaven Dao, the top one hundred were considered supreme physiques, and the Mystic Voidheart Harmonic Physique was proudly counted among them.
