As for calling on all the swordsmiths in Liang to take action, one reason was that he lacked the prestige, and the other was that he didn't want to do it.
The Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters will allocate some resources based on the number of demons in the countries where each branch is located. It's better to keep Hundred Victory Mountain as a place to nurture bandits and maintain self-respect than to provoke that demon cave.
Wu Tianqing, the leader of the demon-slaying alliance, has been thoroughly outmaneuvered by him. This guy has been living a very comfortable life these past few years.
"Brother Yang, we can't use the people under Master Jin Ding. You don't want to deal with Hundred Peaks Mountain yourself, do you? Those monsters are not to be trifled with."
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Of course not, so it's your turn to take the stage this time."
"I?!"
Old Master Cui pointed at himself and said in horror, "Just the two of us, and we're going to take on thousands of demons who have already taken human form?"
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Of course not. We can make use of the Taoists of the One Immortal Sect under the command of True Man Jin Ding."
They had no connection with Di Kui and the other two. They usually only obeyed the orders of Jin Ding Zhenren. Although their combat strength was average, they were still legitimate cultivators with spiritual energy.
"As long as you can set up the talisman array, and these Taoist priests provide you with spiritual energy, your talisman array should be able to unleash its full power, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Old Master Cui found that Yang Cheng's idea was not bad.
A reincarnator like him, who specializes in talismanic formations, is indeed very weak in direct combat. However, if given enough opportunities, the combat power he can display can be described as extremely astonishing.
With Yang Cheng holding the line on the main battlefield, and over a thousand Taoists from the Yixian Sect, there's plenty of room for him to make his mark.
"By the way, what do you think Jin Ding Zhenren is going to do with all these inner cores?"
Previously, he needed the Corpse King's inner core; now, he needs it again to attack Hundred Victory Mountain.
Han Yu shook his head and said, "That's what I'm also wondering about. Anyway, it's not meant for the emperor of Liang to eat."
He's just a mortal; there's no need for him to use the inner core of such a powerful demon to refine medicine. Besides, the resulting pills would be too potent; to ordinary people, they wouldn't be pills but poison.
I have also looked up information about alchemy in this world. There are actually many materials used for alchemy, and the inner cores of various demons are just one of them.
Furthermore, because the inner cores of demons are difficult to obtain and their power is violent, they are rarely used as the main ingredient in alchemy.
"Golden Cauldron Immortal has taken so many inner cores; heaven knows what he intends to do with them."
This point could not be explored further, so no one continued to investigate it.
Han Yu had already arranged an identity for Cui Laodao; he would also be a ghostwriter, but from another country.
Jin Ding Zhenren's influence was limited to Liang Kingdom, so he had no other channels to deal with ghostwriters from other countries besides investigating Wu Tianqing's information.
The next day, Yang Cheng went directly to the palace to request an audience with the Golden Cauldron Immortal.
"Didn't I tell you that Di Kui and the other two would cooperate with you? What are you doing here again?"
The aged voice of Master Jin Ding echoed from inside the hall, sounding slightly impatient.
He prefers capable subordinates to those who frequently bother him.
This is why Master Jin Ding is not refining pills right now; otherwise, even He Kui wouldn't dare to disturb him while he's refining pills.
Yang Cheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Please forgive me, Grand Preceptor. I did not mean to disturb you. It is just that I do not intend to use the men under Lord Di Kui."
"So you're planning to take on Mount Bashang all by yourself? You should have learned what Mount Bashang is like yesterday."
"I am not so arrogant as to actually want to borrow the Taoist priests of the Yixian Sect."
Master Jin Ding asked in surprise, "Are you sure? I haven't taught the people of the One Immortal Sect much Taoist magic."
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "I once knew a swordsman from the Song Kingdom. He was also a Taoist priest, skilled in talismans and formations, but his cultivation was slightly weaker."
He had some connections with his subordinates and was willing to help them, but he needed a large number of cultivators to provide the power required for setting up the formation.
And these Taoist priests of the One Immortal Sect are just the right fit.
After a moment of silence, the door to the main hall was suddenly opened a crack, and a token was thrown out.
"With this, you can mobilize all the Taoists in the Yixian Sect. Although these Taoists are not very strong, they are all trained by me over the past ten years. Don't let me down."
Master Jin Ding spoke calmly, but his tone carried a chilling warning.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will not let you down."
A smile appeared on Yang Cheng's lips as he turned and left.
