”I'm sure you've heard of this ancient painting quite a few times. It's better known than seen. Good stuff naturally needs to be collected by someone who understands it, so I won't introduce this treasure. Starting price, two hundred thousand. Begin.”

The moment the host's voice fell, a few young people raised up their signboard. The prices were too high, but from the looks of their eyes, it was clear that they were doing it for the sake of showing off.

”Five hundred thousand.” Jiang Liu'er could see that the Qi flow on the ancient painting was pure, and the brightness was definitely of a high level. It's just that this painting was a 'dead' object.

The so-called 'dead' item was different from the bracelet that he had received before. The bracelet could produce endless streams of air, but the flow of air in this ancient painting was limited.

In other words, even though Jiang Liu'er was curious about the reason for the death of the black aura surrounding the painting, she did not pay much attention to it.

Since the price of the ancient painting had suddenly increased due to the wide range of the river, it would inevitably attract the attention of many people. Even Jiang Liu'er didn't care in the least.

Just as he finished speaking, a deep voice came from the corner.

”One million.”

Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but turn her head to look. The light in the corner wasn't very obvious, and with the crowd gathering, he couldn't tell which one of them was the source of the sound.

Just by looking at it like this, Jiang Liu'er felt that something wasn't right. Turning his head, he quietly waited for the host to strike the hammer and take a look at the appearance of the low voice.

A price of one million wasn't cheap for an ancient painting, and those who were knowledgeable in it wouldn't think of it as expensive. However, those who weren't knowledgeable in it only knew how to watch the show.

”Wow, the painting price has already reached one million. It seems like this young man has a good eye. Alright, let's get back to the topic. Is there any higher price?”

The host looked around, seemingly waiting for something. Jiang Liu'er frowned, suddenly feeling that the atmosphere here was a little strange. However, he couldn't tell what exactly was different.

”One million and five hundred thousand.”

The voice of a woman was especially eye-catching amongst the men's voices. Jiang Liu'er turned around and easily set her sights on a woman in a low-cut red dress.

The woman's attire had indeed attracted the drooling gazes of quite a few men. Similarly, the piece of white jade in front of Jiang Liu'er's chest had also attracted the attention of Jiang Liu'er.

The woman's body was really hot. The two waves on her chest rippled violently as she breathed. The low-cut dress made the two lumps of hot writing on her chest look so sexy.

In the depths of her neck hung a red thread. At the end of the thread hung a piece of jade that had entered Jiang Liu'er's eyes.

The jade was transparent and had a little bit of skin at the bottom. It was obvious that it was an unprocessed ore at first glance. Although the output was uncertain for a moment, it definitely came from a place like Xinjiang where great treasures were produced.

The transparent jade was at the end of the cleavage, making Jiang Liu'er's eyes a little afraid to look at it. Such a sensitive place like this, swaggering to look at it, was more or less acting like a hoodlum.

”This beauty is truly magnanimous. She's a good painter and a beautiful woman. Good, good, good.” Although the host's praise didn't have much value, it made the woman slightly puckered her lips and let out an enchanting smile.

A price of one million and five hundred thousand was more than enough for this painting. Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but take a good look at this woman.

Other than the fact that this unpolished jade was of some value, there was nothing valuable on this woman. She could shout out 1.5 million just like that, or she could be a swindler, playing around, or she could be a truly low-profile person.

”1.5 million going once, 1.5 million going twice.”

After a short pause, everyone's breath became heavy, and many people's gazes landed on the sexy woman.

Seemingly accustomed to being the center of attention, the sexy woman raised her head slightly and found a subtle angle to show off her beauty.

”1.5 million going thrice, deal!”

The moment the auctioneer's hammer landed, the entire venue burst into applause. The woman revealed a mysterious smile and reached out to receive the document handed over by the staff member.

Once again, he raised his head and looked seriously at the auction platform. The people watching the commotion were bored and turned their heads to continue caring about the auction.

”Sigh, what a pity …” The old man who had been silent all this while suddenly said something. Jiang Liu'er looked at him and started laughing.

”What's so unfortunate about that? I think that beauty's eyesight is pretty good. This painting can't be considered to have gone to the wrong place, right?”

The old man knew that Jiang Liu'er had good eyes, but what he said was not a pity that Jiang Liu'er understood.

”I'm talking about that woman. It's a pity. One million and five hundred thousand. Although this painting is a good item, isn't this price a bit too expensive?”
