One of the important reasons Xuan Sheng did not like the first two paintings by famous painters was that they were too plain.

Master Su Qian's Phoenix Wearing Peony was graceful and luxurious. Master Lin Yu's ink bamboo also had a style.

However, Xuan Sheng felt that something was missing.

When he saw Yuan Wanxia's ancient pine painting slowly opening on the screen, Xuan Sheng's eyes lit up.

This was an ancient pine painting, but it was different from any ancient pine painting Xuan Sheng had ever seen.

The painting used white powder as snow, the heads of the trees and reeds to reach the peak, the sand feet as golden powder, and the broken ink to show the gentle sunlight after the snow.

The entire scene was cold and sparse, with light snow accumulating. The scene of small boats and fishermen fishing formed a beautiful scene in the cold forest.

The scenery was slightly covered in snow and mist, giving off the bleak atmosphere of the early winter season. However, there was no lack of rich life interests.

The scene at the back was filled with ancient pine trees that were decorated with ink. The pine needles were sharp with a brush, heavy with hooks, and the strokes were exquisite and clear.

It was mainly dyed with ink and water-based ink. On the leaves of the ancient pine, the top was covered in powder or gold. After a small snowfall, there was still a scene of sunlight on the old pine tree.

The old ancient pine had a bleak feeling in its historical literature.

On the other hand, Yuan Wanxia's painting did not only draw ancient pine but also combined the old ancient pine with the warm sunlight of the fishing village, making people feel endless vitality from this painting.

Furthermore, Yuan Wanxia's painting was very experienced in drawing. Even every stroke revealed a relaxed ease.

"This one." Xuan Sheng's eyes were filled with interest.

"Alright, then let's begin the auction for the third piece of work today. The starting price of this' Ancient Pine Fisherman's Painting 'from Yuan Wanxia is 1 million!"

"1.2 million."

"1.3 million."

"1.5 million."

"2 million."

Everyone in the ordinary hall downstairs began to bid. Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling did not move.

When the bid reached two million, no one raised the bid anymore.

"Alright, number 15 bid 2 million. Is there anyone higher than him? 2 million going once, 2 million going twice." The host's hammer was about to fall.

A bid came from the VIP room upstairs.

"2.5 million."

"Okay, VIP room 1 bids 2.5 million. Is there anything higher?"

Xuan Sheng originally wanted to wait for the final bid. Who would have thought that someone would have the same thoughts as him? He looked at VIP room 1 opposite and pressed the bid button.
