Chapter 653 One-Eyed Drunkard
The place where Luo Yurou took them was a large market, which was divided into several sections. 520 Official Website
There was a section dedicated to renting and selling warships, flying boats and their parts, which were essential items for long-distance voyages.
Other sections were dedicated to selling medicinal materials, selling food, selling daily necessities, exchanging spiritual stones, and trading items.
The section they came to was dedicated to hiring crew members.
"It's worthy of being a supply location. The things here are really complete!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but sighed when he saw the neatly planned market and complete items.
"All supply locations are like this. The things we have here are not complete!"
Luo Yurou said, and told him about the supplies she was going to prepare for Ye Liuyun and the others.
"I don't know what to prepare, just take care of it! After finding the crew, I'll take them around and buy some things they need."
Ye Liuyun didn't know what to prepare, so he simply left it to Luo Yurou to arrange.
"This young man looks very impressive! Are you going on a long journey? Do you want to charter a boat, or are you short of crew members?" A middle-aged man in his forties came up to greet Ye Liuyun with a smile.
"Senior, we want to find some crew members, but what does chartering a boat mean?" Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.
"Young master, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Lao He. Chartering a boat means we will provide you with the captain, crew members, and boat. You don't have to worry about anything! I, Lao He, am an experienced captain with many years of experience. I have a boat and crew members. I guarantee to take you to your destination!" The middle-aged man said, patting his chest.
Hearing that Ye Liuyun wanted to hire crew members, many people gathered around him and recommended themselves to him, surrounding them.
Luo Yurou refused directly: "Everyone, this young man is a friend of our Luo family. We are going to find the one-eyed drunkard. I hope you will let us pass."
At the same time, she also sent a message to Ye Liuyun: "These people are just familiar with this place. They can find all the resources and dare to promise anything. Don't trust them easily."
Many people left in dismay when they heard that they were from the Luo family and were going to find the one-eyed drunkard.
But Lao He did not give up and followed them relentlessly.
"That old drunkard has vowed not to sail again. Why should Miss Luo go to the trouble? You can ask about my reputation. He is definitely the best captain here..."
Lao He kept persuading them and stopped until Ye Liuyun and the others saw the one-eyed old drunkard.
Helplessly, he said, "Come to me anytime." Then he turned and left.
"It seems that the prestige of this one-eyed drunkard is not small!" Ye Liuyun muttered in his heart.
The crew members or captains waiting to be hired here were either fighting or sitting, gathering in groups of three or five to chat. When someone came, they would come forward to talk to him.
But this one-eyed drunkard directly set out a recliner, lying on it with his eyes closed to bask in the sun.
Before Ye Liuyun and the others approached, they could smell the smell of alcohol from a distance.
For some reason, Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of his aunt Feng Wanru.
"Maybe the drunkard has something on his mind!"
When Ye Liuyun was young, he thought Feng Wanru liked to drink. Now he thought that Feng Wanru was worried about his inability to practice, and was also worried about her mother and family.
So he couldn't help but feel a little bit of favor for this old drunkard.
He opened his golden pupils and looked at the old drunkard, and found something unusual.
The old drunkard's one eye covered by the eye patch exuded a trace of demonic energy.
The demonic energy was very weak, and it should be the demonic energy left in the wound after the injury that was not cleared and exuded. If he hadn't opened his golden pupil, he wouldn't have been able to detect this bit of demonic energy.
He glanced at the old drunkard again and found that the situation in his body was not optimistic. The demonic energy had seriously eroded him, causing his realm to regress.
Based on the pattern of the Yin-Yang realm outside his Yuandan, Ye Liuyun could tell that he was in the Yin-Yang realm before. But now, he only has the strength of the eighth level of Tiangang.
With Ye Liuyun's current realm, he couldn't detect him even if he used his golden pupil to explore him.
"Boss Fu! I'll introduce you to a business!" Luo Yurou's crisp voice sounded.
"So this drunkard's surname is Fu!"
Ye Liuyun also called him Boss Fu!
Many people here call the captain "Boss". Because once on the ship, the captain is the boss, and important decisions are ultimately made by the captain.
Many times, the captain's decision can save the lives of everyone on the ship.
The one-eyed drunkard was woken up, hummed a few times in dissatisfaction, squinted at Luo Yurou, Ye Liuyun and others, grabbed the wine gourd beside him and took a sip of wine.
Ye Liuyun's golden eyes saw clearly that after he drank that mouthful of wine, the demonic energy in his body was slightly suppressed, but that was only temporary and not a cure for the root cause.
After drinking a mouthful of wine, the one-eyed drunkard slowly sat up and spoke to Luo Yurou in a very polite manner.
"It's the eldest lady of the Luo family, I'm sorry for being rude! But don't call me Boss Fu, I've sworn I won't get on the ship again."
"This Mr. Ye is my lifesaver. Don't be so quick to refuse. You two can talk and maybe we can reach an agreement!" Luo Yurou suggested.
The one-eyed drunkard smiled apologetically at Ye Liuyun, waved his hand at Luo Yurou and said, "What are we still talking about! I don't have many years left in my body! I can't even get on the boat now!"
"This..." Luo Yurou looked at Ye Liuyun in embarrassment.
But Ye Liuyun smiled at Luo Yurou and said, "It doesn't matter! His physical condition really means he won't live long, at most three years!"
Ye Liuyun knew that as the demonic energy eroded, the lower the realm of the one-eyed drunkard, the worse his resistance would be.
After three years, his realm should drop to the sea of transformation, and then he would no longer be able to resist these demonic energies.
"Huh?" The one-eyed drunkard was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Ye Liuyun seriously.
"Does this young master understand my problem?" he asked tentatively.
"I can cure it!" Ye Liuyun simply said.
"Are you sure?" The one-eyed drunkard was a little unconvinced. "Are you an alchemist?"
Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "I can indeed make alchemy. But for your illness, you don't need elixirs!"
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and placed it on the old drunkard's shoulder, then activated the Buddha Demon Golden Body and absorbed some of the demonic energy in his body. Then he took his hand back.
For normal martial artists, almost no one dares to absorb demonic energy. Even demon cultivators cannot absorb other people's demonic energy, and they need to practice it themselves.
But for Ye Liuyun, who has practiced the Buddha Demon Golden Body, this is very simple. And the absorbed demonic energy can also be used by him.
However, the conditions have not been negotiated yet, and he has to wait for the drunkard's definite reply before he can completely cure him.
