Entropy (WANGXIAN FanFic)

Control

~*Back to 3rd person (Author) POV*~

"Alright, Wei Wuxian, though I am against the idea of you being able to control resentful energy, I will give you the benefit of a doubt for you to explain to us everything you are willing to share," Lan Qiren said calmly. His blood was running cold and his mouth tasted bitter, but he needed to hear things from Wei Wuxian himself to make the final judgement.

Wuxian nodded with a sigh, "to be honest, I don't know how long I have been able to use and control it. I think it was some time after my parents died and I was still roaming the streets before my grandmother found me," he explained, "she didn't find it at first because I had not formed a core yet and she was more concerned for my health than anything. After I formed a golden core, I could hear voices, screams of pain and anger. It was so loud at one point that Grandmother gave me a charm to help ease the resentment away. I still have the charm but I don't have it with me. It's back home as I am able to fully control it and sense it. It only took me being able to control it after I gained a silver core."

"Silver core?" Wangji asked.

"Ah, it's like a golden core but stronger and it's a core of immortality," Wuxian answered, "it's very rare to hear others talk about it. Other than my grandmother and me, I don't know who else has formed one so information on them is limited."

"So what happened last night?" Xichen asked.

"Honestly, I never know that I had sleepwalked until the following morning when someone said I had. Otherwise it may seem as just a dream to me. I somewhat remember part of it but not all."

"You cleansed a piece of Yin Metal," Qiren stated, "you took in a lot of resentment and I hope that didn't create any imbalances in your Qi."

"I just need to meditate for a few hours and I should be fine," Wuxian said, "but what I never spoke of was that to control Yin energy, there is a risk of a black core. Meaning it is black and has a red glow to it and it is the cultivation source of the resentful energy. Grandmother has been keeping an eye on it to make sure my core remains stable. She said it could cause me to become demonic so she is trying to find a safe way to help me get rid of it. Plus I will be happy not being able to use or control the energy and here loud screaming all the time."

"We can help by allowing access to our forbidden library if you like," Qiren stated. As many would know Lan Qiren, he would be the first to jump in to help rid of the black core.

"As far as I remember, Baoshan had told me that pure yang energy can destroy a black core but it can also be very dangerous. Your normal gold or silver core that has been tainted and becomes a black core, there is a risk of not only losing the core for good, but also death itself. So I am not sure what here solution is just yet," Wuxian explained.

"Pure yang energy, like passing spiritual energy?" Xichen asked.

"No, she said there are some spiritual swords that have pure yang energy...so if one were to use a sword and cut through a core..."

"Damage could be lethal," Qiren finished Wuxian's sentence, "Which is why you said it's dangerous and could not only damage the current core after it was penetrated with the Yang Energy from the sword, but it could cause the core to get crushed and kill the cultivator."

"Anytime I take in resentment, I either have to expel it at some point or get cleansed," Wuxian said, "I know Xichen said something about a song called Cleansing."

"I played it after we got back last night," Wangji said, "It seemed to help. So I will help you with Cleansing."

Wuxian nodded, "Grandmaster Lan, I know that you have a lot of thoughts about resentful energy, but I promise I am doing what I can to contain it."
