Li Wanji nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I believe His Highness Xuanyuan came with sincerity, and we should treat him with courtesy."

After that, she turned to Xuanyuan Lang and said with a smile: "Your Highness Xuanyuan, please."

Feng Bo smiled proudly: "Finally, someone who knows the general situation has come out to speak. It would have been great if it had happened earlier, so that we wouldn't have to waste time here."

Master Yu also echoed, "That's right, our Highness personally invited us here, that's to give you face, don't be ungrateful."

Li Wanji seemed not to hear their ridicule and kept smiling: "You two are right. I have prepared a banquet for you at the post station to welcome you. Please come in."

She sneered in her heart, face is not given by you, but earned by yourself.

Xuanyuan Lang looked at Li Wanji deeply. This woman was able to eliminate 5,000 elite soldiers of the human race by herself. She was definitely not a simple character. Now she was so calm, which made him look at her with new eyes.

He nodded slightly, "Patriarch Li is so kind, we would be disrespectful to refuse it."

At the banquet, Li Wanji and Xuanyuan Lang and others were pretending to be friendly and chatting happily, while Gu Moling and others had solemn expressions, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

"Elder Gu, I brewed ten jars of good wine a few years ago and buried them under the sycamore tree on the back mountain of this post station. Today we have a distinguished guest, why not take them out and let us all drink together?" Li Wanji said lightly.

Gu Moling was stunned for a moment, then he understood Li Wanji's intention. He thought that the secret to controlling these human powerhouses lay in those ten jars of wine.

He nodded in agreement and said, "That's great. I'll go get the wine right away." After that, he turned and left.

"His Highness Xuanyuan is truly sincere. He even went so far as to ask seniors such as Feng Bo and Yu Shi to support the demon clan in opening up the wasteland." Li Wanji raised her glass to toast Xuanyuan Lang, with a smile on her face.

Xuanyuan Lang returned the toast: "Patriarch Li, you are too kind. I have made a ten-year agreement with you, and I will do my best to fulfill it."

Li Wanji gently put down the wine glass, her eyes moving: "With His Highness Xuanyuan's words, I feel relieved. I wonder when the land reclamation plan formulated by His Highness can start?"

Xuanyuan Lang smiled slightly: "We have made full preparations for this trip. As long as Patriarch Li gives the order, we can start the action at any time."

Li Wanji nodded: "That's great. However, the environment in the East Desert Continent is harsh and extremely dangerous, so I'll have to trouble you to be more careful."

Feng Bo snorted disdainfully: "How dangerous can the land of the demon race be? We have conquered nearly half of the territory of the nine heavens and ten earths of our human race, so why should we be afraid of this small East Wasteland?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wanji just smiled and didn't say much.

Soon, Gu Moling came back with ten jars of wine, followed by a few little demons holding wine utensils in their hands.

"Clan leader Li, the wine is here." Gu Moling put down the jar of wine and signaled the little demons to pour wine for everyone.

Li Wanji picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and praised: "A vintage wine, the taste is indeed extraordinary. Everyone, please."

The rich aroma of the wine filled the air at the table, tempting everyone to try it.

However, when they heard Xuanyuan Lang's light cough, all the Terran warriors put down their wine glasses. Feng Bo even questioned directly, "Patriarch Li, there won't be any problem with this wine, right?"

Li Wanji smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Senior Feng Bo, you are joking. This is just the fine wine brewed by my demon clan. What's the problem? If you are worried, you don't have to drink it."

After that, she picked up the wine glass and took another sip, her manner elegant and calm.

Xuanyuan Lang also said, "Mr. Feng, we should not let Chief Li down for his kindness. I'll drink this wine first as a sign of respect." After that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the others also raised their glasses to drink, but Feng Bo and Yu Shi were still hesitant and only took a sip.

Li Wanji didn't care either. She just chatted and laughed with Xuanyuan Lang and others, as if everything was under her control.

After the banquet, Xuanyuan Lang and others were arranged to rest in the post station.

Li Wanji, Gu Moling and others returned to the Wan Yao Palace in Dayan Mountain.

Gu Moling asked: "Patriarch Li, what's in the wine..."

Li Wanji smiled and said, "That wine is indeed made of something, but it is not poison. I just added some ingredients to make them work hard for my demon clan."

"But, those wines were clearly buried a hundred years ago and were never opened. Did you predict what would happen today?"

Li Wanji smiled slightly and shook her head: "It was just a coincidence. There is a magical herb called 'Po Gui' in the wine. I prepared it for refining a special medicine."

"This magical herb can stimulate people's potential, but at the same time, it will also make people have a strong desire to execute specific instructions within a certain period of time."

"I originally planned to use it to refine a pill that can enhance the combat effectiveness of demon soldiers at critical moments, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."

"However, Pogui alone is not enough to control these strong men, so I ordered people to add another auxiliary herb, 'Mind Tranquility', to the incense in their bedrooms."

"There is nothing unusual when using Xinxuning and Pogui separately. However, once the two are combined, a subtle reaction will occur, causing people to be guided by the caster unconsciously."

After hearing this, Gu Moling was secretly amazed and admired Li Wanji's wisdom and methods.

The Li family is truly an expert in alchemy. Their understanding and application of various spiritual herbs and elixirs have reached the pinnacle.

In this way, isn’t it just treating the human race as puppets?

In this way, it can not only prevent the human race from causing trouble in the demon race's territory, but also allow them to devote all their efforts to reclaiming wasteland for the demon race. Chief Li's methods are truly brilliant!

Li Wanji's eyes flashed slightly, she was not worried that Xuanyuan Lang and others would notice anything.

After all, these two kinds of spiritual materials are auxiliary medicines for refining the "Huali Pill". This pill recipe was bought from the system mall. It does not exist in the fairy world at all, and they have no way to verify it.

What's more, these two spiritual materials are extremely rare, and even the alchemy masters among the human race may not be able to recognize them.

It was also thanks to the need for Cang Yuan, that troublesome guy, otherwise she would not have gone to so much trouble to find such a pill recipe.

Now it seems that it was a blessing in disguise.

"Elder Gu, let's just forget about this matter and never mention it to anyone in the future. Also, pass down the order that all demons and fairies should maintain due respect for the human race and not create trouble," Li Wanji warned.

Gu Mo Ling nodded and agreed: "Yes, Patriarch Li, don't worry, I will take care of everything. So what are your plans next?"

Li Wanji's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Go with the flow. However, in order to prevent them from turning against us or being lazy, I will use the medicine to give them some psychological hints."

Gu Mo Ling pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "This is a very good move. When do we start the action?"

Li Wanji counted on her fingers and said, "Three days from now, it will be an auspicious day, suitable for breaking ground. We will start the reclamation work in the East Wasteland on that day."
