An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2021

"What? Soul Elixir?"

The Harmony Sect members were shocked.

For martial artists, Soul Elixir was considered a highly coveted treasure for cultivation. With enough of it, even an ordinary martial artist could progress rapidly and break through to the realm of a grandmaster.

Unfortunately, Soul Elixir was an exceedingly rare precious substance, typically only found in the most extraordinary treasures of nature. Obtaining it was also an arduous process involving intricate refinement and purification.

It wasn't an exaggeration to claim that even a single drop of Soul Elixir was worth a fortune, and a small bottle of it could potentially spark a bloodbath.

If Sophia's water bottles contained Soul Elixir, the disciples couldn't even begin to imagine their value.

"You're right, Master Peach. These bottles are indeed filled with Soul Elixir, and it's not just one bottle either. I have eight of them!" Sophia revealed.

"Eight… Eight big bottles of Soul Elixir?" Bertha was stunned that her hands trembled slightly.

The rest of the disciples also doubted their hearing, expressing disbelief.

If all the bottles contained Soul Elixir, it would present an unparalleled opportunity for Harmony Sect. With the precious substance, the sect could easily elevate itself to the status of a first-tier sect!

"Excellent! This is incredible! With the Soul Elixir, Harmony Sect will finally rise to prominence!"

"Sophia! You truly are our lucky star!"

"Starting today, I declare you as the successor to the sect leader. You shall enjoy the same privileges as the elders!" Bertha was overjoyed. In her excitement, she declared Sophia as the successor.

The elders and guardians had no objections to her decision since Sophia was Harmony Sect's most talented disciple and would eventually replace the sect leader.

With her significant contribution today, her position was even more secure. Bertha was merely acknowledging her future role ahead of time.

"Thank you, Master Peach! I will make sure to work my hardest for Harmony Sect going forward!" Sophia lit up and bowed respectfully.

She knew she wouldn't be able to monopolize the treasures alone, and it would be better to hand them over to her sect. That way, she would not only earn merit but also receive special treatment.

"Excellent! I knew you were special!" Bertha patted Sophia's shoulder, feeling gratified.

With the amount of Soul Elixir that Sophia brought back, Bertha could finally break through the constraints that had hindered her progress for several years.

"Master Peach, there is something else I wish to report."

Sophia seemed to have remembered something and continued, "Even though I gained a lot on this journey, the best treasure was taken by someone else."

"Oh? By who?" Bertha's gaze hardened.

"She's only known by her last name, Linsor. I don't have information on her background, but she doesn't seem to be from the Southwest.

"She also has a very formidable bodyguard with her. He's a young grandmaster and is much more skilled than the leader of Frostwing Sect," Sophia reported solemnly.

"A young grandmaster who is even stronger than the leader of Frostwing Sect?" Bertha frowned.

Although she was also a grandmaster, she was weaker than Alexander, the Frostwing Sect's leader.
