Chapter 653 One-eyed Drunkard
The place Luo Yurou took them to was a large market, which was divided into several sections. 520 official website
There is a section dedicated to renting and selling warships, spaceships and their parts, which are essential items for long-distance voyages.
Other sections are dedicated to selling medicinal materials, selling food, selling daily necessities, exchanging spiritual stones, and trading items.
The area they came to was dedicated to hiring crew members.
"It is indeed a supply place. The things here are really comprehensive!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but sigh when he saw the neatly planned market and the complete items.
"This is the case at all supply locations. What we have here is not complete yet!"
As Luo Yurou spoke, she also told him about the supplies that were to be prepared for Ye Liuyun and the others.
"I don't even know what to prepare, you just have to figure it out! After I finish looking for the crew, I will take them around to buy some things they need."
Ye Liuyun didn't know what to prepare, so he simply left it to Luo Yurou to arrange it.
"This young man looks very impressive at first glance! Are you going on a long trip? Do you want to charter a ship, or are you short of crew?" 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 mean?" Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.
"Young master, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Lao He. Chartering a boat means that you will have the captain, crew, and boat. We will arrange it for you. You don't have to worry about anything! I, Lao He, am an old captain with many years of experience. The ship has a crew and will deliver it to you," the middle-aged man said, patting his chest.
Hearing that Ye Liuyun wanted to hire a crew, many people gathered around him and recommended themselves to him, surrounding them.
Luo Yurou refused directly and said: "Everyone, this young master is a friend of our Luo family. We are going to find the one-eyed drunkard. We hope you can borrow it."
At the same time, she also sent a message to Ye Liuyun: "These people are just familiar with each other here. If they can find the resources, they dare to agree to anything. Don't trust them easily."
Many people dispersed in anger as soon as they heard that they were from the Luo family and were looking for the one-eyed drunkard.
But Lao He didn't give up and followed them persistently.
"That old drunkard has sworn not to sail anymore, so why bother Miss Luo? You can ask me, Lao He, about my reputation. I am definitely the best captain here..."
Lao He kept persuading from behind and followed Ye Liuyun and the others until they saw the one-eyed old drunkard and then stopped.
He reluctantly said, "Come to me anytime." Then he turned and left.
"It seems that the prestige of this one-eyed drunkard is quite high!" Ye Liuyun muttered in his heart.
The crew members or captains waiting to be hired here are either fighting or sitting, gathering in small groups and chatting. When someone comes, he quickly comes up to talk to him.
But this one-eyed drunkard directly set up a deck chair and sat on it to bask in the sun with his eyes closed.
Before Ye Liuyun and the others got closer, they smelled the smell of alcohol from a distance.
For some reason, Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of his aunt Feng Wanru.
"Maybe the drunkard is holding things back in his heart!"
Ye Liuyun used to be young and thought that Feng Wanru liked drinking. Now thinking about it, Feng Wanru was probably worried that he couldn't practice and was also worried about her mother and family matters.
Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a fondness for this old drunkard.
He opened his golden eyes and looked at the old drunkard, and found something unusual.
The one eye covered by the blindfold of the old drunkard exuded a trace of devilish aura.
The demonic energy was very weak. It should have been emitted because the residual demonic energy in the wound was not removed after the injury. If he hadn't turned on his golden pupils, 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 was seriously eroding, causing his realm to regress.
Based on the patterns of the yin and yang realm on the outside of his Yuan Dan, Ye Liuyun could tell that he was in the yin and yang realm before. But now, he only has the strength of the eighth level of Tiangang.
With Ye Liuyun's current state, he wouldn't be able to detect him even if he looked at him with golden eyes.
"Boss Fu! Let me introduce you to a business!" Luo Yurou's crisp voice sounded.
"It turns out this drunkard's surname is Fu!"
Ye Liuyun also shouted "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 and groaned dissatisfiedly. He squinted at Luo Yurou, Ye Liuyun and others, then grabbed the wine gourd next to him and took a sip of wine.
Ye Liuyun could see clearly with his golden eyes. After he drank a sip of wine, the demonic energy in his body was slightly suppressed, but that was only temporary, treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
After taking a sip of wine, the one-eyed drunkard slowly sat up and spoke to Luo Yurou very politely.
"It's the eldest lady of the Luo family. Old man, I'm rude! But don't call me Boss Fu. I've sworn not to get on the ship again."
"This Mr. Ye is my savior. Don't refuse in a hurry. If you two talk, maybe we can work it out!" Luo Yurou suggested.
The one-eyed drunkard smiled apologetically at Ye Liuyun, waved his hands to Luo Yurou and said, "What are you talking about! I don't have a lot of life left in my body! I can't even get on the ship now!"
"This..." Luo Yurou looked at Ye Liuyun in embarrassment.
Ye Liuyun smiled at Luo Yurou and said, "It doesn't matter! His physical condition is indeed that he will not live long, at most three years!"
Ye Liuyun knew that as the evil spirit eroded, the lower the level of the one-eyed drunkard, the worse his resistance.
In three years' time, his realm should have dropped to the Sea Transformation realm, and by 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 do know how to make elixirs. But you don't need elixirs for your disease!"
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and put it on the old drunkard's shoulder, and then moved the Buddha-Demon Golden Body to absorb some of the demonic energy in his body. Then he took his hand back.
Absorbing demonic energy is something that few normal martial artists would dare to do. Even if you are a demon cultivator, you cannot absorb other people's demon energy. You need to cultivate yourself.
But for Ye Liuyun, who had practiced the Golden Body of Buddha and Demon, this couldn't be easier. Moreover, the demonic energy absorbed can also be used by him.
However, the conditions have not been negotiated yet, and he has to wait for the alcoholic's definite answer before he will be completely cured.
