Whispers of the Mountain Sage

Additional Prompt:  Scene: A serene, misty mountain landscape at dawn. A wise scholar in traditional East Asian robes sits cross-legged on a rocky cliff beneath a majestic, ancient pine tree with twisted branches. He is deeply engrossed in reading an old book, his expression calm and contemplative. The wind gently rustles the pine needles, causing subtle swaying of the branches. Mist flows slowly through the valleys below, revealing distant peaks that fade into soft blue haze. In the sky, a glowing golden sun rises behind swirling clouds, casting warm light that dances across the scene. Small yellow wildflowers sway slightly near the rocks. The scholar occasionally turns a page — slowly, deliberately — as if time itself has paused for him.
