Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148 No Ordinary Person Shane put down his fork and shook his head.

“Perhaps, but I’m not entirely sure. The main issue is that the person from Phison is just too mysterious and low- key. Over the years, almost no one has seen him, nor has anyone heard even the slightest bit of news about him. Moreover, Lordsworth Estate is in District One, which has little to no interaction with other districts, making the chances of seeing him even more minuscule. One thing is for sure. This person is no ordinary individual. Just as you said, even a formidable figure like Tiago willingly serves under him. This speaks volumes about his capabilities, which should not be underestimated.”

“I see…” Neera wiped the milk from the corner of her mouth, deep in thought.

She was quite curious, wondering who exactly was the Lord of Phison. When was it that I saved him?

How come I don’t have any recollection of it at all?

There was one more thing that she had been wondering about. How did that person know to send someone to save the day just as I became the head of the Gordon family? It’s such a coincidence.

After breakfast, Shane asked her, “Are you going out with Avery again today?”

Neera recalled those online scandals, so she dared not go out openly with Avery again.

“No, I want to go out my own to see if I can gather some medicinal material to bring back.”

After the events of last night’s auction, she developed a great interest in the ancient medicine there.

Considering the abundance of rare medicinal material available for auction there, she reckoned there must be plenty of other good stuff.

“Shane, do you know if there’s any sort of clinic or pharmacy around here?”

Shane raised an eyebrow. “You really are devoted to medicine. You don’t forget to look for medicinal material even when you’re here.”

Neera smiled. “It’s just a professional habit.”

“Indeed. In terms of medicine, Phison is in no way inferior to the outside world. Perhaps our expertise isn’t as advanced as the World Medical Alliance, but we have everything one could possibly need when it comes to medicinal material. After all, the wealth of Phison ranks first globally, making us extremely affluent in all aspects. The auction you attended yesterday with Avery was actually organized by the largest medicinal ingredient merchant in Phison, the Medicina family.”

“The Medicina family? There are people with the family name ‘Medicina’?” Neera was quite surprised.

“Why not?” Shane laughed. “This family established themselves by being involved in the medicinal material business hundreds of years ago.”

Clarity washed over Neera. “I see. That surname really fits well.”

So, she left with Zephyr, following the route provided by Shane, and arrived at the medical clinic.

After getting out of the vehicle, she looked up to examine the entrance decor. She found it to be incredibly majestic and imposing.

A single pharmacy was so grand and imposing. It was clear that Shane wasn’t exaggerating. Every corner of Phison was indeed dissipative with luxury.

Upon entering, a dazzling array of medicinal materials was displayed in the glass cabinet, all of which were rare and precious. The entire place was filled with the pervasive aroma of those herbs.

However, they weren’t as rare as what was at the auction yesterday.

Nevertheless, compared to regions outside Phison, it was already quite remarkable that so many rare médicinal materials could be gathered there.

Neera first took a look around, then identified her target and specifically went to find the medicinal material she wanted.

Once she chose the medicinal material she wanted, she asked Zephyr to help her carry it.

After selecting a few items, she turned to head toward the medicine cabinet nearby.

But at that moment, her gaze was drawn to the medicinal material in a carved ice emerald box located in the uppermost compartment of the counter at the far end. That is frost ganoderma!

That pure white ganoderma, as recorded in ancient medical texts, only grew in the extremely cold precipices of cliffs that were covered by ice and snow.

Due to the harsh conditions of survival, it was extremely rare and extraordinarily precious.

Moreover, the storage conditions for that type of ganoderma were very demanding. It must be stored in an ice emerald box. Otherwise, it would quickly decay and lose its medicinal properties.

Neera was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling brightly. She immediately called over a shop assistant.

“Hello, could you please help me get that frost ganoderma down? I’ll take it.”

The shop assistant nodded and was about to act when a woman interrupted him. “I want this ganoderma too!”
