After Ma Huifang walked out of the room, Li Erdan had a thought and a Hunyuan Pill appeared in his hand. After swallowing the pill, Li Erdan entered a state of cultivation.
Days of the week.
After the fifth week, Li Erdan directly entered the state of cultivation of forgetting things and myself. He didn't know how long it took. Li Erdan closed his eyes tightly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked inward.
Checked the condition of my Dantian.
"Hey! It's just a little bit closer to breaking through to the late prefecture level."
Li Erdan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. At this time, Li Erdan's cultivation level was only a layer of window paper away from the late prefecture level. There was a feeling that it could be pierced at any time, but it was just a little bit different.
Opportunity.
After stretching, Li Erdan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be many people standing outside his door. After using his spiritual sense to detect them, Li Erdan immediately understood.
He stood up and slowly opened the door to the room.
"Brother Erdan, are you okay?"
At this time, there were many people standing outside the door, and most of the children of the Ma family were there.
Seeing Li Erdan coming out, Ma Sihai was the first to greet him.
"Brother Ma, thank you for your concern. I was not injured at all. It was just that my internal strength was exhausted. Now not only has all my internal strength been restored, but I have also improved a bit."
Li Erdan said with a chuckle.
"Hahaha, you are fine, then I am completely relieved."
Ma Sihai said with a happy smile.
"Plop! Plop."
After two sounds, two people suddenly fell to their knees on the ground behind Ma Sihai.
"Mr. Li, please forgive me. In the past two days, we brothers have said some things that we shouldn't have said. We brothers..." Ma Hong finished speaking with a look of shame, then simply raised his arm and began to slap himself.
"Papa..." Seeing Ma Hong do this, Ma Jun did the same thing and started to slap himself.
"Why are you two doing this? I just came here to help Ma Hongtao for Ma Hongtao's sake.
The reason why your Ma family offended the Shaolin Temple was because Ma Hongtao and I were too close, and I, Li Erdan, couldn't possibly just watch."
Although Li Erdan said it lightly, he did not reach out to stop the two brothers from slapping him.
"Hmph! Don't be embarrassed here anymore, you two. Get up and reflect on yourself after you go back. How can I safely leave the entire family in your hands if you are like this?"
Ma Sihai cursed angrily with a look full of hatred.
"Brother Erdan, our Ma family has made a great turnaround this time. Today, brother, I must have a good drink with you. Let's change the taste today. The roasted whole lamb on the grassland is ready."
Ma Sihai laughed and said.
The sun set, and the sunset glowed the entire sky. On the vast grassland, a group of Ma family children and family members, both men and women, dressed in simple clothes, sang and danced around the bonfire, and enjoyed the mare's milk wine brewed by the Ma family.
.
Secret roasted whole lamb, air-dried beef jerky, cheese and other specialty foods, this kind of enjoyment made Li Erdan feel an unprecedented sense of tranquility, and his body and mind completely relaxed.
"Brother Erdan, this time we have captured a dozen overseas Shaolin disciples alive, including Shi Yongzhong, a Shaolin disciple of Yongzi generation. How do you want to deal with these people?"
Ma Sihai handed Li Erdan a bottle of kumiss and asked.
"Oh! You captured so many people alive?"
Li Erdan suddenly showed an interested look.
"That's right. After I captured these people, I regretted it. If in the early years, I would have done nothing and killed all these people, but now..." Ma Sihai's face showed
A trace of sadness appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, Brother Ma, what are you worried about? These people are all rich in real money. These bald donkeys from Shaolin Temple have besieged your Ma family for more than half a month. Your Ma family has suffered a lot.
It’s a financial loss.”
Li Erdan asked with a smile.
"Hmph! I get angry when I mention this. Damn Shaolin Temple, for so many days of siege and suppression of our Ma family, our Ma family has seriously injured more than a dozen disciples, and there have been some other economic losses, at least several million. This is ours
The entire Ma family’s income for half a year.”
Ma Sihai cursed angrily.
Seeing Ma Sihai's indignant look, Li Erdan also broke into a sweat.
In the entire Ma family, Li Erdan has seen in the past two days, there are nearly ten earth-level masters alone, and there are dozens of disciples with Xuan-level cultivation and Huang-level cultivation. Such a huge family power has great power in the entire Ma family.
Huaxia is already considered a first-rate force, but it is doing so badly, with its income in half a year being in the millions.
"Brother Ma, leave this matter to me. Let's take these hostages and ask the Shaolin Temple to compensate us."
Li Erdan said.
"That's right, brother Erdan, why didn't I think of that? We control the Shaolin Temple and have to compensate, otherwise we won't let him go.
The total of these dozen people, including Shi Yongzhong of Yong's generation, blackmailed the Shaolin Temple for at least five million, and that's it, if Shaolin doesn't give our Ma family five million, we won't let him go."
Ma Sihai patted his thigh and said excitedly.
"puff!"
After just taking a sip of kumiss, Li Erdan couldn't help but be speechless after listening to Ma Sihai's words.
"Brother Ma, after all, you are a first-rate family leader. Why do you have such a small appetite? You have suffered such a big loss. Five million is enough?"
Li Erdan looked contemptuous.
"Mr. Li is absolutely right. Asking Shaolin Temple to compensate five million yuan is indeed too little. At least eight million should be paid."
Ma Hong said from the side.
"Second brother is right, anything less than eight million will definitely not work."
Ma Jun conforms to the Tao.
"Well! What you two brothers said makes sense. Our own losses are only two to three million, and asking them to ask for five million is simply too cheap for their Shaolin Temple. Just follow what you two brothers said and let them compensate the Shaolin Temple.
Eight million, Brother Erdan, do you think it’s okay?”
Ma Sihai looked at Li Erdan seriously.
Looking at Ma Sihai and his son, who looked like they had found a huge advantage, Li Erdan was completely defeated by them.
No wonder the Ma family in the desert was so poor. Back then, a group of Ma family disciples, under the leadership of Ma Hongtao, delivered couriers, worked as laborers, and worked as security guards.
Li Erdan slowly stretched out his palm and said.
"If a prisoner is less than this number, he must not be released."
"Half a million dollars per person?
A total of fourteen prisoners were captured, one with half a million, ten with five million, and fourteen that is seven million.
Brother Erdan, it’s not appropriate to do this on a per-capita basis. This is only seven million. We might as well just ask for eight million. Eight million is more appropriate than asking for one million per head like you.
"
After Ma Sihai counted on his fingers, brothers Ma Hong and Ma Jun nodded in agreement, obviously thinking that what Ma Sihai said made sense.
"I mean, at least 50 million per person. If it's less than 50 million, let's not talk about it."
Li Erdan rolled his eyes and said.
"What, one person is fifty million, how much is fourteen people?"
Ma Sihai counted on his fingers. After counting for a long time, he burped, rolled his eyes, and fainted from fright.
