The fairy lanterns emitted a soft light, and although there was no ice in the room, it was cooler than if there was ice.
Lin Youyuan did not believe that there were gods in the world. People in the world were ignorant and did not know how to keep their feet on the ground, but instead placed their hopes on gods and Buddhas.
He used to scoff at the word "immortal". No one had ever seen an immortal. But he had seen many alchemists who claimed to be immortals, pretending to be gods, making tricks, and harming people by refining elixirs.
now……
He had to believe it.
Lin You picked up the transparent container, put the white pill into his mouth, and then drank the water.
He got tuberculosis at an unfortunate time, as he encountered a locust plague.
At that time, the city was in chaos. Locusts covered the sky and the earth like a huge black cloth. If people did not hide indoors, they would not be able to see anything when they went out.
The locusts ate everything they could.
No matter how hard people try, they can never drive them away or kill them all.
That day was so horrible and bizarre, like a nightmare.
All the crops in the surrounding villages were lost, and he was about to leave, but tuberculosis came back, so he had to seek medical treatment first.
But all the doctors in the city were out of town, so even though his family offered a large sum of money, no one came to respond.
Instead, the servants brought a doctor to him, who said that he had tuberculosis and that there were not enough herbs to cure it, so he could only be kept alive, hoping that perhaps one day he would recover without treatment.
Lin You had no hope. He had not lived enough and did not want to die.
But he was destined to have this disaster, and he had no control over his life or death, fortune or misfortune.
After taking the medicine, he stared at the cup of water in his hand in a daze.
The cup was crystal clear, without a trace of impurities. He had seen all kinds of gemstones and crystals, but none was as clear as this cup.
Such a precious gem is actually used to make a cup...
And give it to yourself without any care.
It can be seen that the immortals do not covet the things on them, they really only want sincerity.
"You will stay here for the next two days." Cao'er's mother entered the security room wearing a mask. Now everyone inside and outside the supermarket was wearing masks. Although it was a bit stuffy, since the immortal had spoken, they dared not disobey.
"The immortal said that you have to slowly recover from your illness. It's okay if you're in a hurry to leave. As long as the medicine is effective, it's the same to take it with you." Cao'er's mother.
Lin You asked, "Where are Brother Zheng and the others?"
Cao'er's mother: "They are shopping. They look like they want to empty the supermarket."
Lin You: "Auntie, what does the word supermarket mean?"
Cao'er's mother didn't understand, so she said vaguely: "The supermarket is the immortal's cave, and the things in it are not available in the mortal world. You can wear a mask and go in tomorrow."
"You keep it!" Cao'er's mother retreated impatiently.
She is scared.
She was not afraid of the disease, but of the aristocratic class represented by Lin You. To her, these people were different from her.
They are all human beings, yet they are different.
They were born into mud, but Lin You and his companions were born into trees.
The mud is trampled, and the tree can grow tall into the sky.
After entering the supermarket and seeing Brother Zheng and his group frantically stuffing things into the shopping cart, Cao'er's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Er wants to take everything!
Immortals have everything!
These things can be "exchanged" for a silver hairpin. Fortunately, the immortal is not a mortal and does not do business, otherwise he would definitely lose a lot of money!
"Brother Zheng! Look at this!" Zhao Er smiled like a seven or eight-year-old child. Even the scars on his face became particularly vivid. He raised what was in his hand - a bag of marshmallows.
“Like a cloud!”
Brother Zheng had no time to look at him. His brothers were like gluttons, wanting to stuff everything into their shopping carts.
This shopping cart is also a wonderful thing. I don’t know what it is made of. It looks like iron but not like iron. It has four wheels at the bottom. Wheels are common, but these wheels are very flexible and can rotate forward, backward, left and right. They are unlike the wheels they have seen before, which can only move forward or backward.
"Brother!" The brother next to him came over, his dark face also full of joy, "Look at this!!"
Brother Zheng finally gave him a look, and he said in annoyance: "Don't call me again! I'm very busy!"
In the monitoring room, Ye Zhou was eating a hamburger and drinking Coke while watching the images.
Of course, the burgers are definitely not freshly made. You can eat them by just heating them up. They don’t taste as good as freshly made ones, but they are better than nothing.
He also put two leaves of lettuce and tomato in it himself.
Now they can choose whatever they want, as long as they have enough money when they check out.
Besides, the things they picked are not expensive, so they should be enough.
The currency exchange method at the supermarket checkout counter is actually very beneficial to Ye Zhou.
It is converted according to the local purchasing power of the item. For example, a silver hairpin costs about one tael here, so it is converted into currency based on the purchasing power of one tael of silver.
Rather than the modern price of one tael of silver.
So this group of people is actually quite rich.
It's just that they themselves don't know it.
Perhaps they themselves knew they had to hurry on their journey, and Cao'er's mother had said in person that they would not be allowed to stay, so what they put into the shopping cart were mostly dry food such as dried meat, and they also took a lot of compressed biscuits.
Maybe because they were afraid of being hungry, they basically chose food, and all of them were dry goods that were easy to carry.
Although they wanted porcelain and glass cups, they knew they were fragile and could not be guaranteed to be intact even if they took them away.
So they discussed it and bought three decorative crystal balls, the kind that could play songs and make snowflakes fall.
Ye Zhou thought they were quite smart. They first bought things that could ensure their survival, and then bought rare goods that were not so fragile and had a high chance of being brought back intact. Even if only one of these three crystal balls was not broken, it would be enough for them to make a fortune.
You can't chew too much.
Everyone understands this principle, but not everyone can do it.
Ye Zhou doesn’t think that the ancients were stupid, but when faced with temptation, only a few of them can stick to their original intentions.
When it was time to pay the bill, Zhao Er took out his silver hairpin, Zheng Ge took out the dagger in his arms, and the rest of the people also took out the most valuable things on them.
But they stood in front of the cashier counter, all feeling uneasy.
What they took out was obviously not of equal value to what they wanted to buy.
Not to mention the crystal ball, just the amount of meat is not something that can be bought with money.

Ye Zhou walked out of the monitoring room - he had spent a month trying to teach his employees how to collect money.
But not only did the employees not know how to read, they also couldn't learn Arabic numerals. He taught for nearly a month but didn't teach a single person.
So much so that Ye Zhou didn't know whether he was too incompetent as a teacher or his students were too incompetent.
Ye Zhou didn't pay much attention to the looks Zhao Er and the others gave him.
After all, he was often looked at like this by his employees, and he became immune to it over time.
"Immortal!" Someone shouted first. After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Er and the others did not dare to look at Ye Zhou's face. They knelt down in a hurry and began to kowtow to Ye Zhou one after another without waiting for Ye Zhou to call them to stand up.
The sound of his forehead hitting the tiles made Ye Zhou feel a headache.
Ye Zhou glanced at Cao'er's mother.
Cao'er's mother immediately understood what he meant and said in a loud voice, "Hurry up and get up. The immortal doesn't need you to kowtow to him."
Ye Zhou: “…”
Although he did mean for them to stop knocking, it felt a little wrong when it came from Cao'er's mother's mouth.
Zhao Er and the others stopped kowtowing, but still did not dare to stand up.
They saw all kinds of strange things in the "supermarket" and dared not be disrespectful.
Originally, Ye Zhou was worried that these people would have bad intentions after seeing the supermarket.
Now he felt that his worries were unnecessary.
When people face the unknown, fear is always greater than excitement.
They may be ecstatic about the things in the supermarket, but they will be more afraid of themselves as "immortals".
Everything originates from the unknown.
Ye Zhou felt that if he were to go on an alien spaceship, he would definitely be excited, but no matter how friendly the aliens were to him, he didn't dare to think about attacking the alien spaceship - who knew if the aliens would suddenly take out a laser cannon and beat him into a pulp?
Ye Zhou didn't look at them, but walked behind the cashier counter and said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy: "Get up."
Zhao Er looked up quietly, then quickly lowered his head.
No wonder he is an immortal, he looks even more handsome than a nobleman. It shows that the water and soil in the immortal world are more nourishing than those in the human world.
They didn't get up, and Ye Zhou didn't urge them.
After more than ten minutes, the leader, Brother Zheng, slowly stood up tentatively. He still didn't dare to look at Ye Zhou. He just lowered his head to look at the tip of his nose. He moved slowly to the cashier counter and called out in a low voice: "Immortal, Immortal..."
Ye Zhou nodded casually but did not respond.
Zhao Er stood up only after he found that Zheng Ge had stood up and was not punished by the immortal, and then he hid behind Zheng Ge.
The same goes for everyone else.
Ye Zhou: “…”
No wonder this "Brother Zheng" is the leader.
Otherwise, if I don't urge them or lend a hand, they might just keep kneeling.
Ye Zhou was minding his own business. He first scanned the things these people took out.
In fact, these things are not very valuable in modern times. After all, they are not antiques. He did not have the Liang Dynasty.
There was one Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but there was neither the Tang Dynasty nor Wu Zetian before this Daliang Dynasty.
Obviously they are not the same.
And even if he brought it back to modern times, such a new hairpin could only be sold for one or two thousand at most - it's not a branded luxury product, so no matter how well designed it is, it's not worth much.
But it’s different if you convert it directly into money.
These things have strong purchasing power in this era. After converting them into RMB according to the local rice price, he will not only not lose money, but can also make a lot of money.
The most valuable thing that Brother Zheng and Zhao Er took was a big bag of yak beef.
The only other item that cost more than twenty yuan was the crystal ball.
And these are selling prices, not cost prices.
There was a hint of smile in Ye Zhou's eyes. He originally thought that 100 points would be difficult to collect, but he didn't expect that one order would be enough.
He tried hard to suppress his excitement. If there weren't so many people watching him, he would have jumped three feet high.
"When are you leaving?" Ye Zhou asked.
Zheng Er was stunned for a long time before he tentatively replied: "Immortal...are you asking me?"
Ye Zhou nodded.
Zheng Er only dared to raise his head slightly and look up at Ye Zhou. After seeing Ye Zhou nod, he whispered, "Immortal, we have to escort the nobleman outside to the south. Now he has received medicine from the immortal..."
Ye Zhou: "You guys rest here for two days, and then we can set off when his condition gets better."
Just send the Buddha off to the west, and then go back after they leave. It will only be like playing the role of an "immortal" for two more days.
Although Zheng Er wanted to stay and practice with the immortal, he had an old mother, wife and children at home. The families of his brothers who died on the road were also waiting for him to bring money back. Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, he did not dare to say that he wanted to stay.
Zhao Er knelt down again with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Please accept me as your disciple, Immortal!"
"Please, Immortal, accept me as your disciple!"
His family doesn't need him, and his parents will never lack food as long as they live with his eldest brother, but his eldest brother is wary of him.
He doesn't want to leave! He wants to stay here and practice with the immortal!
He also wants to live forever!
Ye Zhou glanced at Cao'er's mother, then ignored Zhao Er who kept kowtowing and walked back to the lounge with an expressionless face.
Leave the rest to Cao'er's mother, she has experience.
If he could live forever and cultivate immortality, why would he still open a supermarket in this remote place?
He had already reached the moon in the sky.
Ye Zhou happily walked into the lounge and couldn't wait to turn on the computer -
Unexpectedly, his "journey to another world" ended here.
Although there are some slight "regrets", it's normal to have some regrets in life.
A life without regrets is incomplete.
The computer screen lit up.
