The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 607 Orchid Garden
Listening to the bidding from the outside world, Song Wanning and Liu Xingzhi sat in the private room, their expressions not very pleasant.

From the moment they entered the orchid garden, there was only one passage for them to travel through.

Both of them deliberately lowered their cultivation levels to avoid being too high-profile and arousing suspicion and attention from the Orchid Garden.

They waited and waited, and finally, after more than an hour, the map was brought up.

"Distinguished guests, you are all regulars at my Orchid Garden, and you must be aware of my rules: maps will randomly appear in one of the auctions, so you are all lucky today!"

"This map was obtained by my Orchid Garden hundreds of years ago, but we have been unable to unravel its mysteries. Therefore, we have no choice but to put it up for auction today to find a destined owner."

The host on stage was cheerfully introducing the map, while a map was placed on a plate, half of which was covered by a red cloth.

When divine sense probed over, only a small patch of map could be seen, densely marked with something.

Song Wanning raised an eyebrow. It seemed she would have to decipher the map herself this time.

This orchid garden certainly knows how to make up stories.

The cultivators below the stage became excited upon hearing this; the more mysterious something was, the greater the potential opportunity it might hold.

And they might just be the ones destined for each other.

So, the group quickly started bidding.

Song Wanning did not make a move at first, but waited until the price was quite high and there were few bidders before she started bidding.

"Five thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

She suddenly raised the price, and the entire auction hall fell silent, including the auctioneer.

After all, top-grade spirit stones are pure in spirit energy, and few people are willing to spend them to buy things. Now, Song Wanning is spending so much.

Liu Xingzhi didn't speak, but silently took out a bag of spirit stones and placed it on the table.

Song Wanning has only been an ascendant for less than ten years and has been traveling around, so she certainly doesn't have many spirit stones on her.

So, he paid the bill.

As soon as she put the spirit stone down, Song Wanning glanced at Liu Xingzhi and smiled faintly.

Liu Xingzhi remained expressionless, silently staring at the map below without uttering a word.

"Five thousand high-grade spirit stones per attempt!"

"Five thousand high-grade spirit stones twice!"

"Five thousand high-grade spirit stones three times!"

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on taking a picture of the map!"

As the host's gavel fell, the map landed in Song Wanning's hands.

Most of the people here are independent cultivators. Who would be willing to spend so many spirit stones to take a picture of a map whose purpose they don't even know?

Therefore, no one was competing with Song Wanning.

The map was quickly delivered. Liu Xingzhi picked up the spirit stone and threw it over, then used telekinesis to retrieve the map directly.

"Thank you both, distinguished guests!"

The servant, carrying the spirit stone, retreated with a smile.

The auction for the next item was still ongoing in the hall, and Liu Xingzhi had already spread out the map and placed it on the table.

This map is completely different from the previous one.

The route above is crooked and drawn with incomprehensible symbols, without indicating specific locations or names.

Song Wanning propped her head up, staring intently at the map, deep in thought.

"If the purpose of this map is to guide others there, then solving it shouldn't be difficult."

A glint of light flashed in Liu Xingzhi's eyes as he began to examine the map.

He used several conventional methods, such as soaking in water and burning with fire, and finally squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertip and dripped it onto the map.

The map finally reacted, flashing a light that flickered on and off, and then the image on it changed, finally becoming a readable map. Seeing the map change, Song Wanning and Liu Xingzhi exchanged a helpless glance.

In fact, Lanyuan's operation was full of loopholes.

However, those independent cultivators didn't take it seriously, and even if they discovered it, they would probably try it out out of wishful thinking.

This is human nature.

Having obtained the map they wanted, they didn't rush to leave. Instead, they stayed in the private room and symbolically took a picture of something else.

Soon, the auction ended, and people left one after another. However, they took the initiative to approach Lan Garden and asked to consign some pills for auction, saying they needed to see the person in charge.

"This……"

The waiter looked at Song Wanning with some difficulty, "Our manager said that we have distinguished guests today and it's inconvenient to entertain them..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Wanning took out a grade nine pill.

The waiter's eyes lit up immediately, his gaze towards the pills seemingly glowing.

Grade 9 pills are not commonly seen outside; even the most master alchemists are reluctant to trade them, making them extremely rare and sought after.

Now that such a powerful benefactor was standing right in front of him, he rubbed his hands together excitedly, "May I ask how many pills the distinguished guest wishes to consign?"

“I have two bottles of such pills. If Lanyuan is sincere enough, I can put them here for auction.”

Song Wanning gave a haughty snort, looking extremely smug.

The waiter didn't think anything was wrong and hurriedly bowed and scraped as he ushered Song Wanning into a private room on the third floor.

"Please wait a moment, distinguished guests, I will go and fetch the manager right away!"

The waiter left in a hurry, and Song Wanning and her companion sat in the private room, looking around at the decorations.

The Orchid Garden is decorated in a very simple and elegant style, exuding a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

The most common decoration here is purple bamboo!

Song Wanning glanced at Zizhu a few more times, then heard someone hurrying towards the door.

"Oh dear, what a distinguished guest! I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

The shopkeeper walked in enthusiastically, his eyes scanning the two of them for a moment before landing on the medicine bottle.

Because the two of them had disguised themselves and altered their striking appearances, they didn't attract much attention from the shopkeeper.

She opened the medicine bottle, took a gentle sniff, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Are you two honored guests consigning the entire bottle of pills for auction? Our Lan Garden is honest and fair, taking only a 20% cut, which is much more cost-effective than those auction houses!"

As she spoke, she plopped down and quickly poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Song Wanning seemed a bit anxious, constantly asking about the approximate price.

The shopkeeper knew they had taken pictures of the map before they arrived, and now, judging from their current appearance, it was clear they were broke and eager to cash out.

After a moment's thought, the shopkeeper roughly figured out where the two men came from. They were probably two rogue cultivators with slightly higher cultivation levels who had accidentally obtained such a bottle of pills.

Only when they became arrogant did they spend so many spirit stones to photograph the map.

Her eyes sparkled, and the smile on her lips deepened.

"Rest assured, esteemed guest, we will definitely sell it for you at the highest price, and you will not suffer any loss!"

"This is a communication talisman from our Orchid Garden. Once it's auctioned off, we'll send you a message immediately, and you can come and collect the spirit stones then!"

The shopkeeper smiled and handed the message talisman to Song Wanning.

I'm afraid they won't be able to use this message talisman!

"Alright, then I'll wait for the shopkeeper's good news!"

Song Wanning smiled, stood up happily, and shook hands with the shopkeeper.
