Chapter 653: Chapter 653 One-eyed Drunkard
The place that Luo Yurou brought them to was a large bazaar that was divided into several platforms. One of the platforms was used to rent warships and purchase flying vessels. It also sells supplies for long-distance travel.
On other platforms, some sold medicinal herbs, food, daily necessities, spiritual stone, and trade items.
And the platform that they went to was to hire sailors.
"This place is really where one stocks up. Everything you need is really here!" Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the well-planned bazaar and all sorts of various supplies.
"That’s how it is. This place is still not complete to the others!"
Luo Yurou told him about the supplies she had prepared for Ye Liuyun and the others.
"I have no idea what I should stock up on. Just do as you see fit! When we are done hiring the crew, I’m taking them to shop for things that they need."
Ye Liuyun didn’t know what to stock up for, so he simply left everything to Luo Yurou.
A middle-aged man in his forties came up with a smile and greeted Ye Liuyun. "This fine-looking man looks extraordinary at first glance! Are you looking for a vessel to rent or do you lack sailors?"
"Sir, we’re looking for some sailors, but what do you mean by renting a vessel?" Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.
The middle-aged man patted his chest and said, "You don’t have to be so polite, young man. You can just call me Mr. He. Renting an entire vessel means that it included the captain, sailors, the vessel itself and all kinds of supplies. You don’t have to worry about anything. I am an experienced captain and I can ensure that you reach your destination safely!"
When they heard that Ye Liuyun was going to hire a crew, there were many people surrounding him. They all recommended themselves to him and surrounded him.
Luo Yurou refused directly, "Everyone, this young man is a friend of our Luo family. We are going to look for One-eyed Drunkard. I hope you can move out of the way."
Meanwhile, she also sent a voice transmission to Ye Liuyun. "These people are only familiar with this area. They are willing to lie for some coins. Don’t be fooled."
When they heard that it was the Luo family and they wanted to look for the One-eyed Drunkard, the crowd immediately dispersed.
But Mr. He still didn’t give up and followed them reluctantly.
"That old drunkard has sworn that he won’t sail anymore. Why does Miss Luo have to be so arrogant? You can ask about my reputation. I’m definitely the best captain here..."
Mr. He continued to persuade them from behind. He didn’t stop until Ye Liuyun and the others saw the One-eyed Drunkard.
Helplessly, he said, "You can come to me anytime." Then he turned around and left.
"Looks like the One-eyed Drunkard has quite a bit of prestige!" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.
The captains or crews here waiting to be hired were all gathering in small groups to chat. Once someone appears they would try to promote themselves.
The One-eyed Drunkard, on the other hand, sat down on a deck chair and basked in the sun with his eyes closed.
Ye Liuyun and the others had yet to approach when they could smell the scent of alcohol from afar.
For some reason, Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of his aunt, Fyeng Wanru.
"Maybe the drunkard has something deep down in his heart!"
When Ye Liuyun was still a kid, he felt that Fyeng Wanru was an alcoholic. Now that he thought about it, Fyeng Wanru was worried that he could not cultivate and was also worried about her mother and her family.
Therefore, he couldn’t help but have a good impression of this old drunkard.
He used his Golden Phantom Eyes and observed the old drunkard. He also found something unusual.
The one-eyed, which was covered by the eye patch, emitted wisps of Devil Qi.
The Devil Qi was very weak. It should be emitted from his wound. If he hadn’t used his Golden Phantom Eyes, he wouldn’t have noticed this wisp of Devil Qi.
He glanced at the old drunkard again and found that his body was not in great shape. The Devil Qi’s erosion was serious, causing his realm to degrade.
According to his Virtuoso phase’s carvings, he could tell that previously he was in the Yin-yang Realm but now he was only at the Eight Level Astral Realm. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
With Ye Liuyun’s current realm, even if he used Golden Phantom Eyes to monitor him, he would not be able to detect it.
"Mr. Fu! I’ll introduce a business to you!" Luo Yurou’s crisp voice rang out.
"So this drunkard’s surname is Fu!"
Ye Liuyun also called out to Mr. Fu!
The people here addressed the captain as "Boss" because once they got on board, the captain would be the boss, and they would be the one deciding the important decision.
Many times, the captain’s decision could save the many lives on board. freewёbnoνel.com
The One-eyed Drunkard was woken up by the shout and snorted unhappily. He squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Yurou, Ye Liuyun, and the others. Then, he grabbed the wine gourd beside him and took a sip.
Golden Phantom Eyes could clearly see that after he drank the wine, the Devil Qi in his body was slightly suppressed, but that was only temporary. It wasn’t a cure to his current condition.
After taking a sip of wine, the One-eyed Drunkard slowly sat up and spoke very politely to Luo Yurou.
"It’s the eldest daughter of the Luo family. I’m sorry! But don’t call me Mr. Fu. I swear I won’t get on board anymore."
"Mr. Ye is my savior. Don’t be in a hurry to reject him. Let’s have a chat. We might be able to strike a deal!" Luo Yurou suggested.
The One-eyed Drunkard smiled apologetically at Ye Liuyun, then waved his hand at Luo Yurou and said, "What else is there to talk about? I don’t have many years left to live! I can’t even get on the boat now!"
"This..." Luo Yurou looked awkwardly at Ye Liuyun.
However, Ye Liuyun smiled at Luo Yurou. "It doesn’t matter! His physical condition really won’t last long. He won’t be able to live past three years!"
Ye Liuyun knew that with the Devil Qi’s erosion, the lower One-eyed Drunkard’s realm was, the worse his immunity would become.
Three years later, his realm would drop to the Incarnation phase. At that time, he would no longer be able to resist the Devil Qi.
"What?" The One-eyed Drunkard was shocked when he heard Ye Liuyun’s words. He solemnly sized Ye Liuyun up.
"Do you know what’s wrong with me?" he asked tentatively.
"I can cure it!" Ye Liuyun simply replied.
"Are you sure?" The One-eyed Drunkard didn’t quite believe it. "You’re an alchemist?"
Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "I know a thing or two in refining pills. However, you don’t need any pills for your illness!"
As he spoke, he reached out a hand and rested it on the old drunkard’s shoulder. Then, he mobilized the Golden Body of Buddhist-Devil and absorbed some of the Devil Qi in his body. After that, he retracted his hand.
For normal martial cultivators, no one dared to absorb Devil Qi. Even devil cultivators could not absorb other people’s Devil Qi. They needed to cultivate by themselves.
However, Ye Liuyun, who had cultivated the Golden Body of Buddhist-Devil before. Thus this was just a walk in the park. Furthermore, the Devil Qi that he absorbed was beneficial to him.
However, they had yet to seal the deal. Thus he needed the drunkard’s answer before he completely cured him.
