Chapter 1093 -979: The Oolong Sponsorship Incident_2
He really had the Painted Soul Series in his hands!
At this revelation, several tycoons were left with dry mouths and panting tongues!
And amid the expectant gazes of everyone, a few staff members carefully wheeled a painting easel through the door.
Once the staff had left,
Sun Yaohuo carefully lifted the luxurious cloth draped over the easel.
The seventh piece of Shadow’s Painted Soul Series was thus unveiled before the eyes of the six wealthy collectors.
Instantly,
their breathing became rapid!
As if their souls had left their bodies!
They felt the environment around them shifting rapidly!
An indescribable mood completely enveloped them!
In a trance,
they felt as if they were standing on the Summit of Mount Tai, with the howling wind by their ears, clouds within reach overhead, a breathtaking interplay of reddish purple light constantly transforming before their eyes!
Some resembled thousands of horses galloping;
Some looked like divine bulls locking horns;
Some like phoenixes spreading wings;
Some like peacocks displaying their tails.
The sky awash with rosy clouds merged with the vast sea of clouds on the horizon, descending like a heavenly realm, knocking on the doors of peoples’ hearts.
Clouds and mists reflected each other.
Halos and precious auras twinkled.
Upon the flat, shimmering gold surface of the sea, the sun lifted the veil of clouds and raised the curtain of dawn, donning a robe of five-colored neon, like a floating palace lantern, rising gently in the sky.
In the next moment,
the wind suddenly subsided.
The white clouds ceased their capricious transformations and instead stretched out simply for miles, resembling a vast jade plate suspended between heaven and earth.
The distant mountains were all engulfed in mist.
A few mountain peaks quietly protruded above the clouds.
Nearby, tourists stepped on clouds and rode the fog, as if they had arrived beyond the heavens, experiencing a profound sense of detachment.
As the breeze picked up again, the sea of clouds churned once more into infinite waves, the peaks appeared and disappeared like elusive fairy islands, and when the wind grew stronger, the white jade plate transformed into a giant dragon, tumbling and churning like the sea!
To the east,
golden sparkles leapt suddenly from amongst the clouds, illuminating the clouds and merging with the morning glow.
Outlined clearly and shimmering with golden light, they dimmed all else, imbued with an eternal grandeur, igniting people’s lofty ambitions and aspirations.
That was Mount Tai!
That was the Summit of Mount Tai!
It proudly ascended through the clouds, shoulder to shoulder with the sky, gracing autumn chrysanthemums and resplendent spring pines!
Suddenly,
a voice echoed in the ears of the six men.
Sun Yaohuo, taking advantage of their entranced state, recited a poem:
“The grand Mount Tai, what can compare? The green of Qilu never ends.”
“Nature’s creations divinely beautiful, day and night separate the dark and dawn.”
“Sweeping chests generate layered clouds, squinting eyes follow the returning birds.”
“Someday at the peak, I shall stand, all other mountains will appear so small.”
“At the Blue Star Poetry Gala, Teacher Admirable Fish wrote ‘Looking at Mount Tai’ depicting the grandeur, and Teacher Shadow’s painting bears the same title, the connection surely doesn’t require explanation, does it?”
Sun Yaohuo was bluffing.
He had no idea whether this painting had any relation to Lin Yuan’s poem “Looking at Mount Tai—after all, these tycoons had no way to verify it, and given the shared history between Xian Yu and Shadow, even if he claimed there was no connection between the poem and the painting, it was likely no one would believe it.
At the poetry gala,
Xian Yu had written many poems.
Among them, “Looking at Mount Tai” was notably popular!
The famous line “Someday at the peak, I shall stand, all other mountains will appear so small” inspired countless individuals, and now this painting gave the wealthy collectors the same experience, if not a more overwhelming one!
Because this was like a vision of reality!
As Sun Yaohuo’s voice trailed off, the six tycoons came back to their senses, and then they went mad!
Was this a Painted Soul Series?
Without a doubt, it was!
The atmosphere that hit them was unlike any other painting, only Shadow’s Painted Soul Series had such an effect, the kind of impactful and madness-inducing experience!
“I want this painting!” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
“Did I agree to let you have it?”
“There’s no point in fighting, this painting is destined to be mine!”
“I never expected this painting to be so closely related to Xian Yu’s widely praised poem ‘Looking at Mount Tai.’ My favorite poem and my favorite painting combined—I simply have no reason to concede it to you.”
“Name your price!”
“Are you talking about money in front of me?”
All six were tycoons; how could they possibly back down on a matter of money?
Almost simultaneously, each of them felt an irresistible desire for the painting!
One after another they made their bids, then their gaze was fixed on Sun Yaohuo.
He was almost unnerved by their stares, feeling somewhat relieved that he hadn’t invited more tycoons to compete…
He took a deep breath, “Let me start with Teacher Shadow’s conditions.”
“What conditions?”
The six asked almost in unison.
Sun Yaohuo said, “Teacher Shadow, entrusted by Teacher Admirable Fish, seeks sponsorship for the Qin Continent Spring Gala. The highest bidder for the sponsorship will be able to purchase this ‘Looking at Mount Tai.’ I must remind you, there are only seven paintings in Shadow’s Painted Soul Series in the world, and no one knows when Shadow might create the eighth, or if there will ever be an eighth. Thus, the sponsorship should be as high as possible. Of course, if this Qin Continent Spring Gala is a huge success, your sponsorships will certainly reap rich rewards. The starting bid for the sponsorship is two billion, and for the painting, Teacher Shadow says it doesn’t need to be sold too expensively. Any boss willing to sponsor can have it for an additional two billion, consider it as making a new friend!”
At these words, the six tycoons were flabbergasted!
Two billion?
For sponsorship?
Just for a local spring gala!?
This was clearly the sponsorship price for the Zhong Continent Spring Gala!
And to secure the painting, they’d have to pay an additional two billion?
So, we’re expected to shell out twenty billion to sponsor the Qin Continent Spring Gala only to earn the privilege to purchase the seventh piece of Shadow’s Painted Soul Series?
