In the end, after talking with the Forge Master Goti Hammerson for some time, Valkorion said goodbye to the dwarven blacksmith as he left his shop and went back to his manor. Because he was already close to digesting the Warrior Potion entirely, he decided that it would be prudent to connect the Potion for the Sequence 6 Beast Knight.
He didn't know when precisely he would finish the digestion process, but he felt that soon enough, he would be reaching the limit, and from there, he would only need a small nudge in the right direction.
After that happened, he could advance to the Sequence 6 Beast Knight in one go.
When he arrived at the manor, Valkorion went to change into more comfortable clothes, as he wouldn't be spending the time in his own home wearing a combat outfit, which would be rather uncomfortable.
After he changed his clothes, Valkorion then started preparing the ingredients for the Beast Knight Potion. Spring of the Elves Marrow Crystals and Royal Jellyfish's Venom Crystal, as the two main ingredients, were already prepared and were in perfect condition.
He then lit the fire under the cauldron as he prepared to brew the Potion, while thinking that this was rather similar to the Potioneering from the Harry Potter. The last thing that was lacking here was Severus Snape calling him a dunderhead, and it would be a full experience.
In fact, Valkorion actually liked concocting the Potions because it was a nice hobby... if he had a source of the Ingredients, he would open a Potion Shop and sell Beyonder Potions, but that was really, really unrealizable.
When the water in the cauldron started boiling, he dropped there both Spring of the Elves Marrow Crystals and Royal Jellyfish's Venom Crystal as they started dispersing within the boiling water, and the water was getting a golden color.
When the cauldron was already bubbling enough, Valkroion took a vial that was filled with the blood of Sequence 7 Mutated Bugbear, as one of the secondary ingredients was the blood of Sequence 7 Extraordinary Creatures, and Valkorion had something even better.
Blood of Mutated Sequence 7 Extraordinary Creature, which would boost the power of the Potion, and according to the books, if the blood of Mutated Sequence 7 Extraordinary Creature was used as Supplementary Potion Ingredient, it would boost up the power of the Potion, and Beyonder may obtain some benefits from it.
As they said, the better the resources, the better the result was.
When the blood of the Mutated Sequence 7 Extraordinary Creature came into contact with the mildly golden liquid within the cauldron, there was a slight reaction from the brew, as the cauldron started shaking slightly because the liquid was bubbling even more and Valkorion could sense some sort of aura radiating from the liquid.
He let the liquid brew for some time, approximately twenty minutes, before he proceeded to add the remaining ingredients, mostly Spiritron-infused Nirn Root and some other minor things that he crushed in the mortar to the paste.
When he added the paste into the liquid, it was the last step, as right now, he was just waiting for the Potion to be finished once the amount of liquid was lowered by around 70% when it was entirely reduced.
The final product would be a highly concentrated thick liquid that was the Beyonder Potion.
He was rather satisfied with himself when he saw the result of his efforts when the Sequence 6 Beast Knight Potion was finished, and the only thing that remained in the cauldron was a brownish-gold-colored liquid that was bubbling above the fire.
When it was finished, Valkorion carefully poured the liquid into the bottle he had prepared for the Potion. Then, he sealed the potion lid and stored the Sequence 6 Beast Knight Potion within the Dimensional Bag.
It would remain within his Dimensional Bag until he would have the need for the Potion.
Now that he had some time to rest, Valkorion decided that he would spend some time within the library and read some books after making some to eat.

Two Months Later, Cartharys, Valyrian Freehold, Essos
Two months have passed rather fast since the moment Valkorion concocted the PSequnece 6 Beast Knigth Potion. During these two months, not a lot has changed because he was forced to remain mostly at home as he was still waiting for the Apostle of "Him" to find him at the Cartharys.
Due to that, he only rarely left the city to venture into the Painted Mountains to hunt for some monster ingredients and make some pocket change money while he waited for the news from the Clan Ferros about the auction news.
On a concurrent note, he was very often talking with Camille Ferros through the Glass Candless.
Because both of them were using very high-grade versions of the Glass Candle, they could also see each other, as the Glass Candles of this kind of quality also functioned as "video-caller".
Another thing that he had been doing for these past two months was training every single day until he was dead tired of the art of swordsmanship. It was rather a pleasant surprise when he noticed that his swordsmanship had already increased to the Adept-ranked mastery, which meant that he was among the more elite swordsmen in the world.
In fact, Valkorion was rather sure that if he continued this training regime for around a year, he would have a problem reaching the Expert-level Proficiency in the Juyo Sword Style; he would be considered a really expert swordsman in the world.
Expert-level proficiency in swordsmanship and any sword style was the barrier that was separating the common swordsmen from the Elite Ones. Valkorion even heard that the members of the House Dayne are disinherited from their House if they can't reach Expert-Level Proficiency in swordsmanship within five years after they started training.
He would have also spent some time training in the Hakuda, but unfortunately, it seemed that his progress was much slower in the Hakuda than in his swordsmanship, and he would have preferred to have a sparring partner when it came to training in the Hakuda.
Aside from the training, he also spent a lot of time reading in the library, as it was one of his long-term goals since being reborn in this world, to absorb as much information as possible.
From the moment he learned that his meta-knowledge was virtually useless, Valkroion was focused on his own education as much as possible and reading practically everything within the library of the manor that once belonged to the House Tenebraenys.
Not to mention, for Valkorion reading books and learning were rather methods of relaxation than something arduous and challenging. During the past two months, there were no visits from anyone even remotely connected to the Temple of the Lord of Light, but Valkorion wasn't that surprising.
He knew that it would take some time, and in fact, he wasn't hurrying anywhere right now, as he came to appreciate his current life. Prior to this, he was spending most, if not all, of his time within the Painted Mountains, basically hunting for the monsters and Extraordinary Creatures to make money.
Now, he had more time to relax, which was certainly something that he appreciated.
