Bexland's Most Dazzling Gem

After listening to Altair's advice, Audrey nodded repeatedly, but still couldn't resist her curiosity and tentatively asked, "If... um... I mean, if I wanted to become Beyonder, how would I obtain the correct Potion Recipe, or rather, what kind of person would have the correct Potion Recipe?"

"Families with long histories, various organizations, or wild Beyonder, such as: the Royal Family of Ruun, the Augustus Family, the Forsak Empire, the Einhorn Family, the major True God Church, secret organizations, ----." Altair said casually.

After saying that, he added, "Of course, I don't recommend that you make and take the Potion immediately after obtaining the Potion Recipe."

"Legend has it that there are 22 correct Pathway Beyonder, which are also known as the 22 Divine Pathway by Beyonder." The corresponding Potion Recipe are, of course, 22 in total.

"And the abilities gained from taking the Potion vary depending on the Pathway taken."

"However, Potion, Potion —don't forget the word 'potion' at the beginning. Different Potion possess different forms of Mental Pollution," constantly influencing people's emotions, values, and behavioral norms—."

"Twenty-two, that's so many!" Audrey couldn't help but exclaim in amazement upon hearing that there were so many Beyonder Pathway.

After expressing her admiration, she asked, "Sister Altair, I remember my father once said that the Sheffield Family has a history of nearly seven hundred years, and since you know so much, your family must have the correct recipe, right?"

"We're such good friends, could I possibly buy the recipe from you?"

Altair silently shook his head, which was a response to Audrey's expectations.

But to avoid arousing Audrey's suspicions, she added, "You're absolutely right, the Sheffield Family does indeed possess Potion Recipe."

"But my family only has two relatively complete Beyonder Pathway: one is the Hunter Pathway, with Potion Recipe from Sequence Nine to Sequence Four, and the other is the Warrior Pathway, with Potion Recipe from Sequence Nine to Sequence Five. The others are incomplete Lawyer, Arbiter, Savant, Mystery Pryer, Criminal, and Prisoner."

"It's not that I don't want to give you these formulas, but none of them are suitable for you. With the Hunter Pathway, once you advance to Sequence Four, you'll become male. As for the Warrior Pathway, don't forget you're a noble; you can't become a qualified Warrior. And the other incomplete paths aren't quite right either."

"I myself wouldn't want to choose these Pathway, let alone you."

"My personal suggestion to you is to acquire the Potion Recipe for Spectator, Reader, Bard, Monster, Sleepless, and Apothecary through other channels."

"Among them, the most recommended are the Spectator and the Apothecary. The Spectator Pathway will, as you improve, give you ultimate observation and mind-reading abilities."

Mental Intervention— "The Apothecary Pathway will grant you extraordinary pharmaceutical abilities. For example, many intractable diseases in today's society can be cured by you. As your Sequence level increases, you will continuously gain Beast Taming, increased charm, and a minimum lifespan of 300 years—but this Pathway also has very obvious side effects. The Vampire that people talk about are outstanding examples of this Pathway."

After a moment of silence, Audrey still chose the Spectator Pathway, even after Altair had lavishly praised the abilities of the Apothecary Pathway, it didn't change her mind. Perhaps this was destiny; even with a better option, one couldn't change what was destined.

After this casual conversation, Audrey also looked at the other items in the Sheffield Family's collection, such as a tattered Rochelle's Notes. Regarding this book, Altair explained, "This is a collection from an ancestor of the Sheffield Family, and we, his descendants, all believe that this ancestor's contribution to Sheffield is First Generation only to Sheffield founding father's contributions."

"It is thanks to the contributions of this ancestor that I, as the heir to the Sheffield Family, have the opportunity to lead this family to even greater heights once again."

After watching Audrey leave, Altair returned to the villa. As soon as he entered, Vivian said with dissatisfaction, "She's supposed to be Audrey Hall? Bexland's Most Dazzling Gem, but I don't think she's anything special."

Sensing Vivian's jealousy, Altair stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Of course! Who can compare to my Vivian's beauty and charm?"

As he drew closer, he added in her ear, "Most importantly, she can play any role I want, and I also love the chirping sounds she makes when she sings."

Vivian blushed instantly at these words, lightly patted Altair, and rolled her eyes, saying, "You're shameless."

Altair then grabbed Vivian's wrist and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Don't worry, Audrey and I have nothing going on; we're just friends."

"Hmm... there's a thought I might have, which is wanting a younger sister like that." After saying this, Altair lowered his head to smell Vivian's hair and added, "By seniority, you're still her... um... sister-in-law."

After leaving Altair's embrace, Vivian said, "Actually, I don't mind that you have other lovers. Don't forget I'm from Intis, where the social atmosphere is much more open than in Loen."

"In our area, people from all walks of life, once they have some spare money, will more or less have extramarital affairs, keep mistresses, or even worse, have two wives."

"Loen, on the other hand, was quite conservative, only daring to keep mistresses outside the home."

"I don't need you to remain chaste. As long as you don't see other men and can guarantee that my place in your heart will never change, you can bring your mistresses to me. As long as she behaves, I can tolerate keeping her. But please remember that I will personally inspect her."

Vivian's words had a great impact on Altair, who came from the modern world, both in terms of modern thinking and her perception of Vivian.

Although Altair never mentioned Freya's situation, she knew perfectly well that Freya was most likely dead or missing; otherwise, why would she have vanished without a trace?

Altair gave Vivian a wry smile and said, "Don't joke around, I don't think this joke is funny."

Vivian, who had instigated the conflict, responded firmly, "I'm not joking, I'm serious."

"Hmm... You're worried about Freya's situation happening again, aren't you? Don't worry, my punishment for her was simply that she couldn't distinguish between the two kings; I didn't kill her."

"At first, I just sent her to a professional institution for training; she'll be able to come back in a while."

"And don't forget the influence of the Demoness Pathway on one's own mindset. Do you have a way to maintain your masculine mindset indefinitely?"
