Daoist Master Yi Yuan led the nobles from the Grand Dao Court and the Honglutai along the streets on both sides of the Zinan Bridge. He said to the two senior ministers, Gu Peng and Lian Jin, beside him, "Even though Zhuang Qiao rejected the offer from the Grand Dao Court, the scenery and customs of Hanhai Province are quite good. You can explore Hanhai Province more often these days."

After hearing Daoist Master Yi Yuan's words, Gu Peng and Lian Jin exchanged a glance, then bowed and said with a smile, "Yes, we will obey your command."

"Just go walk around by yourselves, you don't have to follow me. Buy whatever you want. It's not easy to come to Hanhaizhou, so we must keep a souvenir." Daoist Master Yi Yuan said to the group of Dao Ting nobles behind him.

Everyone's faces lit up when they heard this. They naturally wanted to walk around freely. When they heard Daoist Master Yi Yuan's words, they immediately bowed and said, "Yes, thank you, Daoist Master."

Afterwards, everyone bid farewell to Taoist Master Yi Yuan and the two Shangqing. Finally, even Shangqing Gu Peng and Shangqing Lian Jin were sent away by Taoist Master Yi Yuan.

At this time, Fang Jian walked to the Zinan Bridge with the divine green jade Ruyi in his hand, and saw a small bamboo platform on the right, which was filled with lanterns of various styles.

These lanterns are round and square. In the center of the lantern is a spirit bead that emits a warm glow. Along with the glow of the spirit bead, there are also streams of clear and fairy air.

Fang Jian looked up and saw that the lantern seller was a beautiful woman. She was sitting behind a bamboo stand and looked at Fang Jian with a smile on her face. "Are you not from Hanhai Prefecture?"

Fang Jian said, "From the south."

The beautiful woman blinked and said, "It's not as cold in the South as in Hanhaizhou, right?"

Fang Jian looked at the bright red coat and robe the beautiful woman was wearing and nodded, saying, "It's certainly not as cold as Hanhaizhou."

The power of heaven and earth in the Xiantian Wuji Realm is very strong. The muddy land can cause considerable trouble to Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian, not to mention the scorching heat and severe cold in the Xiantian Wuji Realm. The physical strength of Daluo Jinxian can only withstand 70% or 80%.

"That's great! I like warmer places." The beautiful woman said, smiling at Fang Jian, "Dear guest, would you like to buy a lantern?"

Fang Jian laughed and asked, "How big is your lantern?"

The beautiful woman said, "As long as you have thirty dusts of great power, the skin of this lantern is made of water-clear sandpaper, which has the effect of avoiding fire and is not afraid of fire."

Fang Jian glanced among the many lanterns and finally settled on a square lantern that emitted a pale yellow light. "This one will do."

After saying that, Fang Jian paid the beautiful woman thirty dust points. The beautiful woman immediately picked up the lantern with joy and handed it to Fang Jian.

Fang Jian took the lantern and prepared to leave, but the beautiful woman called him. Fang Jian turned around and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

The beautiful woman said, "You are the first person to buy my lantern today. Could you please write something on my lantern?"

"Oh?" Fang Jian asked, "What do you want to write?"

The beautiful woman said, "Any words are fine."

"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, then took the cinnabar brush from the beautiful woman and asked, "Which lantern should I write on?"

The beautiful woman quickly said, "It's all right. Any lantern will do."

Fang Jian held the cinnabar brush in his hand, his eyes fixed on an oval lantern. He put his own lantern down first, then picked up the other one. After a moment's thought, he wrote:

The lights are cold, the moon is cold, the wind is fierce, and the vast sea of ​​smoke and clouds is even more hazy.

The six directions and eight wildernesses each have their own boundaries, and there are many differences between ancient and modern times.

All living beings are equal, and the great way is vast and pervasive.

Who says that nobility and humbleness are determined by heaven? All virtues and merits are equally respected.

He wrote it in one go. After finishing, Fang Jian put down the cinnabar pen and handed the lantern to the beautiful woman. "Is this okay?"

The beautiful woman took the lantern and read it softly. The more she read, the brighter her eyes became, and in the end, she showed a look of deep admiration.

"Without great ambition, great strength, and a broad mind, one could never have written this poem." The beautiful woman looked at Fang Jian and said, "You are definitely not an ordinary person."

Fang Jian laughed heartily, raised his lantern, and said, "I am just one of the common people."

After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and walked onto Zinan Bridge, holding a lantern in his left hand and a divine blue jade Ruyi in his right hand.

"Extremely elegant." The beautiful woman couldn't help but admire Fang Jian as she looked at his back.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side: "I want this lantern, how much is it?"

The beautiful woman turned around and saw a middle-aged man in brocade robes looking at the lantern in her hand that she had just written a poem on.

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My dear guest, I don't want to sell this lantern anymore. You can choose another one."

The middle-aged man was none other than Yi Yuan Dao Zun. He pointed at the lantern among the beautiful women and raised a finger. "For this price, will you sell it?"

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment and asked, "One hundred dust?"

Daoist Master Yi Yuan said, "One hundred thousand dusts."

"!!!!!!!" The beautiful woman's face paled with shock. She froze in place for a long time before reacting. She said with a stiff smile, "This... honored guest, you are not joking, are you?"

Daoist Master Yi Yuan pointed at the poem on the lantern and said, "Based on this poem, it's worth the price. Will you sell it?"

After a long pause, the beautiful woman's fair face flushed with excitement. She nodded and said, "Sell!"

Taoist Master Yi Yuan directly handed the Hundred Thousand Dust Power to the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman tremblingly put the Hundred Thousand Dust Power away, and then tremblingly handed the lantern in her hand forward.

Taoist Master Yi Yuan took the lantern and glanced at Fang Jian who was going up the bridge. He did not go up the bridge, but turned around and walked slowly along the river bank where the lights were dim.
