Chapter 122: Conversation with the Ancient One, Darkhold booklet!

"Pfft~"

Ye Li couldn't help but laugh, feeling that the Ancient One's playful, mischievous sense of humor was very much to his taste.

Perhaps Master Ancient One would really become his first close friend of the opposite sex, the kind that was completely compatible in terms of personality.

As for the good seedlings she mentioned.

It was actually easy to understand—

Strange didn't need to be mentioned.

Wanda was the Scarlet Witch, and Tony's magical talent was obvious (Comic parallel universe setting: Tony Stark served as Sorcerer Supreme).

By comparison, Pietro's talent naturally seemed... *cough cough*... like a noob's.

"Drink slowly; it seems you also think this tea is good."

The smile on the Ancient One's face carried a bit more inexplicable meaning, her slender left hand raised, and her middle finger gently wiped away a drop of tea from the corner of her lip...

"Cough cough... sorry, Ancient One."

Ye Li said, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I accidentally sprayed it on you..."

787

"It's fine."

The Ancient One placed her middle finger on the white silk handkerchief by her side, wiped away the tea drop, and smiled indifferently, "After all, I'm not a little girl anymore, am I~"

[...Still remembering that...]

Ye Li recalled that the last time they met, he had teased the Ancient One for covering her face with a fan like a little girl, and then she had used the Time Stone to turn back into a young appearance...

Not to mention... looking back, that elegant beauty really had a lot of charm; it was that kind of unconventional, classic style that made one appreciate it without carrying desire.

Seeing Ye Li looking at her and thinking about something, the Ancient One unfolded her folding fan to cover the lower half of her face while standing up.

[Hmm?]

This brought Ye Li back to his senses, and he muttered mischievously in his heart: [Hundreds of years old, and she's still acting shy when looked at...]

"Come."

The Sorcerer Supreme came to the curtain of the inner hall and smiled, inviting Ye Li and his group, "Since you all came for cultivation, why don't I talk to you one by one, how about that?"

"Good idea."

Tony was thick-skinned and quickly recovered from the previous awkwardness, "Then who's first? Strange? After all, he's more anxious."

"No rush."

The Ancient One pointed her folding fan at Ye Li, "Let's chat for a while first, Li."

"Fine."

Ye Li lifted the curtain with her and walked into the inner hall to talk.

Step, step.

The Ancient One walked a few steps, then turned her head, folded her fan, and put it down, revealing her beautiful young face, and smiled slyly at him, "Hehe~ does it look good?"

[Please don't be playful.]

Ye Li rolled his eyes, pulled up a chair, and sat down, saying, "Thanks for last time."

"A mere trifle. The matter of the Inheritors can barely be considered a dimensional event, within my scope of duty."

"Duty? Who gave you that duty?"

"I did.

Responsibility always accompanies power, doesn't it."

The Ancient One took out a magic book with a spiderweb pattern on the cover and handed it to him, "This is what you wanted to see."

Ye Li took the book and flipped through a few pages; it was indeed about some analysis of "Weaving Magic."

With this book.

He could better understand how to use "Weaving Magic" and the "Web of Destiny."

As expected of the Sorcerer Supreme's sanctum, it always had some strange and peculiar things.

Ye Li looked up and glanced... at the glowing green accessory that the Ancient One had changed to hang on her waist—

[And she said she wasn't using the Time Stone recklessly; I hadn't even asked yet and she pulled the book out...]

[Hmm... the girl version of the Sorcerer Supreme is really thoughtful~]

"How about..."

"How about we swap and play for a bit?"

Ye Li put down the magic book, raised his wrist, and gestured to the black ring of his suit for the Ancient One—

The golden Mind Stone and the azure Space Stone shone and reflected each other...

Compared to the Time Stone.

Ye Li felt the Ancient One was better suited for the Space Stone; that Mirror Dimension trick of hers was so slick.

And since he had the Web of Destiny and the Snake Talisman, the Space Stone wasn't of much use to him.

However.

The Ancient One shook her head gently, without refusing, "The Overlord's Mind Stone and the God King's Space Stone..."

"They are all mine now."

Ye Li lowered his hand and picked up the book again: "It's fine if we don't swap, I was just mentioning it. Thanks for the book."

"No matter."

The Ancient One nodded: "You have changed many unfortunate trajectories. That girl... you will guide her onto the right path."

Ye Li wasn't surprised by this prediction, "That goes without saying, she's super well-behaved."

"Let that future witch come in."

The Ancient One pulled a thin booklet from the bookshelf: "I will provide her with magic enlightenment. That power which can affect the multiverse—she must learn to control it."

Ye Li didn't rush to call Wanda, but looked at the booklet and asked curiously, "What is this?"

The Ancient One smiled mysteriously, "A handwritten copy of the Darkhold, only a small part."

"Uh..."

Ye Li's face stiffened, "This thing... won't be dangerous, right... maybe teach her white magic instead..."

"White magic doesn't suit her."

The Ancient One smiled gently, "It only contains some auxiliary spells with a lower danger level. I have also made some modifications; it won't have any mind-corrupting influence. This is just to give her a starting point; her abilities don't require learning too many complex spells."

"Hmm..."

After considering it, Ye Li nodded in agreement, "Alright."

He had already placed an absolute mental shield on Wanda, so he shouldn't have to worry about the Darkhold corrupting her mind.
