Chapter 19 A Painting That Intrigued Lin Tian
Now that the auction has officially started, and Song Luo has started to offer the first auction item, it is a painting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this landscape painting was handed down from the Zhou dynasty. I don't know who the painter was, but it is the highest expression of the ancient people's painting skills."
"The specialty of this painting is that when placed in water, it seems to come alive, the water in the painting will flow, the birds in the painting seem to fly, and even the plants and trees seem alive."
"Once taken out of the water, the painting will be fine, because this painting uses a special material that makes it waterproof. Even when you touch it, it looks like it never gets wet at all."
"The price of this painting is 250 million Yuan, and any price increase can't be less than 10 million." Song Luo started say to introduce the auction item.
When he finished introducing the painting, the staff also took a large box of water and placed the painting in the water.
And sure enough, when the painting was submerged in water, it seemed to come alive.
Seeing this strange thing, many people began to show interest.

"Young master, if you can, please buy this painting." Ling Donglai who was sitting beside Lin Tian, looked at the painting, and said solemnly.
"Old Ling, does the painting have a secret?" Lin Tian immediately said after hearing Ling Donglai's words.
The items in this auction were different than in the previous world setting, at least the painting had never been introduced before.
And to be honest Lin Tian didn't take the painting seriously, but now Ling Donglai was starting to show interest which made Lin Tian also curious.
"The painting contains Fengshui, when put into water, the painting looks alive, with flowing water, birds, and plants that seem alive. It is one of the expressions of painting techniques using Fengshui." Ling Donglai pointed at the painting and said.
'Feng Shui? Truly the protagonist, wherever he is, golden opportunities always come to him. But I'm lucky enough to have Ling Donglai by my side, otherwise wouldn't I have missed the painting?' Lin Tian secretly said in his heart as he narrowed his eyes at Ye Chen below.
"310 million."
"400 million."

At this time, various offers began to be heard from people, and the price rose to 570 million in a short time.
Once it was at the 570 million mark, it stopped.

"600 million."
After no one made a higher bid, Ye Chen finally made a bid.
'I thought you didn't see the secret of this painting, but it seems I underestimated you too much, so I was waiting for you to make an offer.' Lin Tian smiled when he heard Ye Chen bid.
He had yet to bid as he was waiting for Ye Chen to bid first.
Because one way to get luck and villain points is to suppress and humiliate the protagonist. If Lin Tian got the painting easily, I don't think Ye Chen would be affected.
"650 million."
When Song Luo was about to type a hammer to announce that Ye Chen had won the bid, Lin Tian suddenly said from inside the VIP room.
Hearing Lin Tian's voice, Ye Chen's eyes immediately narrowed.
He was no stranger to this voice, that person was none other than Lin Tian.
'A few days ago, you took my chance, I thought it was the last day I met you, but fate said otherwise.'
'Looks like I have to deal with you, I have to be patient, in the end, I will win.' Ye Chen thought coldly.

"It's Lin Tian's voice." Tang Xuan and Lu Yu beside Ye Chen immediately recognized the voice.
"Brother Tang, brother Lu, I really want this painting. I currently don't have enough funds to buy it, can you lend me some?" Ye Chen looked at Tang Xuan and Lu Yu then, said.
"Brother Ye, yesterday you saved my father from his critical illness, you have helped me a lot, and now I will help you."
"I have 1 billion, you can use it. I also want to see Lin Tian's annoyed face when he doesn't get what he wants." Tang Xuan laughed, and said.
"Thank you." Ye Chen said solemnly when he heard Tang Xuan's words.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Xuan smiled lightly.
"I will consider this matter as a debt of gratitude, in the future when brother Tang is in trouble, I will not hesitate to help you." Ye Chen looked at Tang Xuan and said solemnly.
After saying, Ye Chen looked at the painting, and bid again.
"700 million."
"1 billion." Lin Tian said.
Hearing the price Ye Chen offered, Lin Tian added another price without hesitation.
Hearing Lin Tian's offer, Ye Chen's expression turned cold.
"1.3 billion." Ye Chen looked at Lin Tian who was in the VIP room above him coldly, then raised his offer again.
"1.5 billion." Lin Tian said lightly.
After hearing Lin Tian's offer again, Ye Chen's expression became even more gloomy.
When the people at the auction heard Lin Tian and Ye Chen's bidding, they carefully observed the painting.
They are confused, about whether in the painting there is a secret or something strange? Otherwise, how could the price be raised so high?
"Lin Tian, ??do you want to keep dealing with me again and again?" Ye Chen stood up and raised his head and shouted to Lin Tian who was in the VIP room above him.
"Who are you?" Lin Tian's confused voice came from the VIP room.
"Who am I?" Ye Chen immediately became angry when he heard Lin Tian's words.
"You robbed my Buddha statue a few days ago, remember?" Ye Chen said in a cold voice.
"Oh, it's you, a few days ago you were just a poor person, but now you can spend billions, not bad, I underestimated you." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Lin Tian, ??I really want this painting, give this painting to me and I will forget what happened a few days ago." Ye Chen said solemnly.
'Just leave it? Hmph, just wait until I have obtained this painting, I will make the Lin family and Yang family suffer. I never keep my promise.' Ye Chen thought coldly in his heart.
"Anyone who opposes me, then I have to fight him. At that time I offered the Buddha statue calmly, but you insisted on wanting the Buddha statue, if you weren't so enthusiastic, I might not buy the Buddha statue."
"Oh, actually the quality of the Buddha statue was so bad, after I bought it, I immediately burned it and now it has turned to ashes." Lin Tian heard Ye Chen's words, then said on purpose.
"You burned that Buddha statue?!" Ye Chen's eyes shrank and became angry when he heard Lin Tian's words.
No way, he had been waiting for the chance to steal that Buddha statue from Lin Tian's house, yet now that Buddha statue had turned to ashes? Now his chances were completely ruined.
