Passing through a portal, Karl returned from the Time Variance Authority in that unknown space directly to Kamar-Taj.
This trip had originally been about standing up for the sorcerers.
He had not expected to make an enormous fortune.
Leaving everything else aside, Kang the Conqueror's final circular residence alone was an incomparably precious treasure.
In the Marvel world, most people's utilization rate for materials was actually very low.
Aside from magical civilizations like Asgard, most civilizations processed materials through technological means.
Because of that, materials considered extremely precious in Kamar-Taj were not worth mentioning in their eyes.
One example was the material he had obtained this time.
It was called Star God's Tears.
According to legend, this material was a crystalline substance that could only vaguely form after a god fell and tens of thousands of years passed.
Even the Ancient One had never seen it before.
All knowledge of it came entirely from the Book of the Vishanti.
In the Book of the Vishanti, this material was recorded as one of the most precious materials in the world.
Just a few milligrams of it could help a peak Master Sorcerer attempt a breakthrough to Heaven-Punishment-tier.
But now?
He had directly taken away a house with a diameter of one hundred meters.
At the very least, it weighed thousands of tons.
Even if the material was not pure and had a few other alloys mixed into it, after refining, it would still produce at least a hundred tons.
With this much material, it would be more than enough to forge ancient divine artifacts.
Karl felt as if he had received a sudden windfall.
And that did not even include the various materials and technological products he had collected from inside, things even Kang the Conqueror did not know how to use.
Take the palm-sized device he had seized from Kang the Conqueror, for example.
That thing could astonishingly and easily alter time within an area of spacetime.
Time reversal, time pruning, time acceleration, and so on.
That device could achieve all of them.
Wasn't that absurd?
Even an ordinary person holding that thing could ignore Heaven-Punishment-tier threats.
Only now did Karl realize that Kamar-Taj was truly poor.
In the Marvel world, there were simply too many people who could deliver wealth straight into his hands.
As he sighed, Karl began sorting the things he had collected.
Materials and technology were all categorized and stored separately, then recorded according to military logistics standards.
It took him half a day before he finally finished organizing everything.
There were more than a hundred pieces of technological equipment, over a thousand kinds of precious materials, and over a thousand kinds of substances that could be used as medicines.
There were even more things that Karl himself had never seen before.
It could be said that these were the vast riches Kang the Conqueror had collected from different universes over hundreds of millions of years.
He had even used some kind of technological method to expand the space inside that house in order to store everything.
Now, all of these things had become Karl's wealth.
Karl stored all of it away until his storage space was almost completely filled.
"The materials have been gathered just in time."
"It's time to raise the strength of the Master Sorcerers."
"These materials should also be enough to produce a certain number of magical elixirs."
Karl looked at the materials inside his storage space, calculating silently.
Kamar-Taj's magical inheritance was extremely complex.
The Ancient One had been an all-rounder.
It could be said that he had been proficient in everything.
Refining magical elixirs was naturally not difficult for him either.
Karl had also learned this skill.
Refining magical elixirs was not a problem.
The Master Sorcerers still had talent.
Without talent, they never would have reached their current level.
Although they were not monstrous geniuses like Strange and Wanda, they still had value worth cultivating.
Their mastery of magic was already very solid.
Now, they only needed a little external assistance.
Karl acted immediately.
He went straight back and brought over the alchemical furnace that had been passed down in the sanctum for over a century.
Using powerful magic to drive the flames, he began refining it.
Under the tempering of the flames, all kinds of materials began to melt and fuse continuously. An indescribable fragrance started to gather in the surroundings.
With a wave of his hand, the flow of time around him became completely different.
He directly accelerated it by more than a hundredfold.
Only half an hour passed outside.
But inside Karl's time field, a full half month had already gone by.
Rumbling sounds also began to come from within the alchemical furnace.
It was as if something inside was about to drill its way out.
The fragrance that had been spreading into the surroundings was also completely absorbed back into the alchemical cauldron.
Karl knew what this meant.
The fragrance had already begun to draw inward completely.
All of the essence was now within the elixirs.
"It's done."
Light flashed in Karl's eyes.
He slapped his hand forward.
The lid of the alchemical furnace flew off directly.
Forty-nine golden elixirs flew out from within.
Each elixir was golden, as if carved from gold itself.
Without another word, Karl picked one up with his fingertips and placed it into his mouth.
It melted the moment it entered.
A warm current spread directly from his mouth to every part of his body, making his entire body feel pleasantly warm.
And then there was nothing else.
The energy contained inside was not particularly powerful for the current Karl.
But for the Master Sorcerers, it was more than enough.
Karl waved his hand.
All of the elixirs flew into the jade bottles he had already prepared.
After putting everything away, Karl directly sent Baron Mordo a magical transmission.
He told him to gather the strongest Master Sorcerers within Kamar-Taj.
Kamar-Taj had quite a few Master Sorcerers.
After accumulating them over so many years, there were more than a hundred of them.
But in reality, some were stationed elsewhere, while others were traveling.
The ones who truly remained here were not many.
Only about half were permanently stationed at Kamar-Taj.
Among these people, not all of them had necessarily reached the peak of their strength.
It was enough for Karl to summon the strongest few.
He suddenly slapped his forehead.
Then he also called Strange and Wanda over.
These two were extraordinarily gifted. Bottlenecks were practically nonexistent for them, so they counted as well.
Before long, all of them gathered in the great hall.
"Sorcerer Supreme, may I ask why you summoned us here?"
In front of everyone, Mordo still gave Karl face and formally addressed him as Sorcerer Supreme.
Karl had slowly accepted this as well.
In front of outsiders, there was no need to avoid the title anymore.
"Master Mordo, please sit. I was just about to explain."
"Recently, while traveling, I collected some materials, so I refined a few magical elixirs."
"Your strength has already reached a bottleneck."
"This is the perfect time to borrow the power of these elixirs and achieve a breakthrough."
Karl swept his gaze across the Master Sorcerers as he spoke.
When the Master Sorcerers heard this, their eyes immediately shone.
Clearly, they had been looking forward to breaking through for a very long time.
They did not seek strength or authority.
They sought to study deeper magical profundities.
Karl felt that, in this situation, he did not need to motivate them at all.
He simply waved his hand.
A porcelain bottle appeared before each person.
The Master Sorcerers were all deeply grateful.
