The next day at 7 p.m.
In front of 177A Bleecker Street in Manhattan, Li Chuan and Wanda, dressed in matching casual couple's outfits, raised their hands and knocked on the inconspicuous blue door.
After a moment, a flat-headed middle-aged man in a magician's robe poked his head out from behind the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
"We are the witch Li Chuan and Wanda Maximoff, invited here by Sorcerer Gu Yi."
Li Chuan smiled and took out the card Gu Yi had left behind.
The man nodded expressionlessly upon hearing this, opened the door completely, and made a welcoming gesture.
"The Supreme One mentioned you a few days ago. I am Wang, in charge of guarding this place. Please follow me!"
Li Chuan and Wanda nodded and followed Wang into the New York Sanctum.
The light inside the Sanctum was dim, with a very retro decoration style and various vases and paintings that looked very old, giving an overall sense of mystery.
Directly opposite the hall was a very luxurious staircase leading straight to the second floor.
Upon reaching the second floor, they saw a hall filled with many strange magic items, the most conspicuous of which was a red cloak floating around.
Li Chuan knew that was likely the Cloak of Levitation.
The Cloak of Levitation is an ancient magic item that can help its owner fly at supersonic speeds, resist magic and physical attacks, transform into various clothes, and possesses its own consciousness.
However, that was gear left by Gu Yi for Doctor Strange, so it would be difficult for him to get his hands on it even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, when he goes to the Immortal Cultivation World, he can learn to fly on a sword, which won't be much slower than the Cloak of Levitation, and its attack power is definitely not something the Cloak of Levitation can compare to.
As for transforming into various clothes, his spells could also achieve that.
After walking around the corridor on the second floor, they were led by Wang to three glass doors.
These were three very strange glass doors, because the opposite side of the glass doors corresponded to three completely different natural landscapes: tropical rainforest, desert, and ocean.
If an ordinary person saw this, they might think it was some kind of holographic projection screen.
But Li Chuan knew that these were three spatial doors created with very profound space magic. The opposite side of the doors corresponded to three different locations on Earth, or possibly not even on Earth.
"Where is Sorcerer Gu Yi?"
Wanda stared at the three glass doors in front of her with a curious and puzzled expression.
They had reached the end, but they hadn't seen the bald female magician who had visited their house last time. However, it was quite interesting inside, like visiting an ancient castle.
"The Supreme One returned to Kamar-Taj yesterday. You can see her by stepping through here."
Wang replied politely, then reached out and turned the circular button carved with runic symbols next to the middle glass door. The original desert landscape outside the glass door immediately changed to a Tibetan-style room.
In the room, Gu Yi was sitting on a chair brewing tea. Seeing Li Chuan and Wanda on this side of the glass door, she smiled gently, as if she had long expected their appearance.
"It's a type of space magic, similar to our Apparition, but the distance of this spatial door is much farther."
Li Chuan explained to Wanda, then pulled her through the teleportation gate, appearing directly in Kamar-Taj, far away in the Himalayas, from the New York Sanctum.
"Good morning, Magician Li Chuan and Magician Wanda!"
It was evening in New York, but it was morning in Kamar-Taj.
"Good morning, Magician Li Chuan and Magician Wanda. Try the tea I've prepared for you."
Gu Yi handed two black jars filled with dark green tea leaves to Li Chuan and Wanda.
"Welcome to Kamar-Taj!"
"Thank you!"
Li Chuan and Wanda took the tea at the same time and took a sip, their eyes immediately brightening.
It was mellow, smooth, sweet, and moist, with a long and comfortable aftertaste. It was the best tea they had ever drunk, much better than the expensive tea they had bought at home before.
Naturally, Kamar-Taj had existed for so many years, and the tea leaves they cultivated were not comparable to ordinary tea leaves from outside.
After a brief chat, Gu Yi introduced a black magician to Li Chuan and Wanda:
"This is my disciple, Magician Mordo. He will show you around Kamar-Taj. If you have any questions, you can come find me anytime; I will be here these two days."
Compared to the somewhat expressionless and taciturn Wang from before, Mordo was clearly much more talkative.
He smiled and took Li Chuan and Wanda on a full tour of Kamar-Taj. There was the training ground where junior magician apprentices practiced magic and combat, a library filled with various magic books, and the Sling Rings, magic weapons, and other items used by the mystic magicians for casting spells.
At the same time, he also explained many stories about Kamar-Taj and The Supreme One, such as the establishment of Kamar-Taj, the three great Sanctums, and the Dimensional Demons that Gu Yi had defeated.
Overall, Mordo was a good guide.
Not to mention Wanda, who had never learned about these things and listened with great interest, exclaiming repeatedly as she looked around. Even Li Chuan, who already had some understanding, felt he benefited greatly and gained a lot more knowledge about this World.
In his previous life, Li Chuan had watched many Marvel movies and seen many related videos on his phone, but he wasn't a die-hard Marvel fan and hadn't specifically read the comics or delved deeply into them.
So, there were many things he only half-understood.
Like the concepts of the so-called multiverse and parallel Universes, various complex timelines, various Dimensional Demons, and so on, he didn't particularly understand them.
After touring the entire Kamar-Taj, it was already close to noon. Li Chuan and Wanda had lunch together hosted by Gu Yi, and then left Kamar-Taj to stroll around Kathmandu outside.
Although Kamar-Taj is in the Himalayas, its entrance is in a small alley in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Moreover, it is equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing magicians to surf the internet while practicing magic.
After Li Chuan and Wanda left, Mordo asked Gu Yi with some confusion:
"You seem to value them highly?"
There were many magicians who joined the big family of Kamar-Taj, but it was rare for Gu Yi to personally invite someone, and then specifically ask him to accompany them and explain things after they returned.
Gu Yi picked up her tea and took a gentle sip:
"Both of them have very high talent and are very strong."
"Is their talent higher than Kaecilius's?"
Mordo remembered that back then, Gu Yi hadn't valued the exceptionally talented magician Kaecilius as much as she did now.
Gu Yi smiled and nodded:
"Kaecilius is far behind them. The future achievements of Magician Li Chuan and Magician Wanda may not be lower than mine. Having them join Kamar-Taj is a good thing for the entire World."
Mordo's pupils immediately constricted upon hearing this. He had never heard such a high evaluation from Gu Yi before.
In his heart, Gu Yi was the strongest magician in this World, bar none, an insurmountable existence.
