After Wei Wuxian's death, Baoshan Sanren was on a mission. She was going to help bring her grandson back. To do that she needs some help from someone she could trust. That person was Lan Wangji. Baoshan and Wangji work together to bring Wei Wuxian's...
I do not know what happened. It was like I was dead but I was not. I was living in a clouded state, and a lot of it was okay. Lan Zhan was there, he helped me, he saved me...then he broke the fourth wall and spoke past my subconscious straight to me. He was no longer the Lan Zhan I knew but he was more than that.
He told me that he left Cloud Recesses. No more rules, no more strict regulations for him to follow, no more curfews, no more forehead ribbon and white robes. He looked so much better. Despite him being slightly angry with his former sect, he seemed happier and free. He was free to love me and that was all he wanted.
If he did not accept me like that, I would not dare return. He was going to give me stability and he said Baoshan Sanren was there too. I have a new chance. She can bring A'Yuan back if I wanted. He was a child, he deserves to live a wonderful life. So I accepted, and I agreed to follow him.
I began to feel a new life force flow through my body. It was warm and the energy was strong. I felt cleansed and the resentful energy that my body was clogged with, was gone. I no longer felt like I was suffocating. I was awake. When I opened my eyes, I saw him lying there beside me. He was exactly how he was in my Subconscious.
He still looks ethereal but even more so since he is free from his white robes. He had on dark blue robes with a black under robes. A white tunic showed just under the black robe. He had his hair up in a ponytail and he cut his hair a bit and had bangs.

"Lan Zhan?" I asked. My voice was very hoarse and my mouth was dry. Barely any sound came out but it was still as if he heard me. It woke him from his meditation.
"Welcome back, Wei Ying," he said calmly, "You do not have to speak yet if it is too much," he helped me sit up and handed me some water.
After a few minutes I tried to speak again, "how did you hear me if I barely said a sound?"
"One of my new abilities is enhanced senses, so I have better hearing. There are a lot of new things I can do but I want to help you discover yours first. Maybe I will tell you as you train," he said.
"When will I train?" I asked.
"I want you to wait a couple days to let your body revive a bit more," I heard a female voice from behind me. I turned and saw a woman with silver eyes and silver hair. She had in white and black robes. She even had a red ribbon in her hair like my mother used to wear.
So the red ribbon was a Sanren thing?
"You are?" I asked, "Baoshan?"
"Yes, and it is Wai Po for you, young man," she told me.
She had this outgoing personality type vibe, "Wai Po...you know what happened?"
"I do," she answered, "I do not know who framed you but that is for the three of us to find out."
"Clear my name?" I asked, "will anyone even believe it?"
"We will make them see for themselves," Baoshan said. I decided not to question them further for now.
After a few days of gaining movement again, I was outside training. I wanted to explore what I could do. Lan Zhan told me everything he discovered so far and I was so intrigued. Baoshan told me elements and nature Manipulation are the common abilities for every immortal, as well as enhanced speed, senses, and strength was also common. I also have my own unique abilities as each immortal has their unique abilities that others may not have. A lot of times, these abilities can be passed down from the family bloodline.
The first ability I found was enhanced intelligence. I was already fairly smart but now it was like my IQ had gone up. Users possess an exceptionally high IQ (of at least 170-200), and exceptional intellectual abilities. Like being able to memorize more amounts of information and calculate things extremely well, process that same information at the same efficiency as a supercomputer. Furthermore, the user's mental capabilities are so great, that they are able to predict their enemies' movements or/and attack trajectories using nothing more than sheer mental calculations alone. The enhanced speed went well with this ability as I can calculate faster than the average person.
"Wei Ying is already pretty witty, so to outsmart anyone is probably a good ability for him," Lan Zhan told me.
"Are you admitting that I have a good sense of humor?" I asked.
"I am, only Wei Ying can make me smile or laugh," he replied. I could only blush in response as I have noticed to be the only person who can make him smile or laugh.
I also found that I can basically become the angel of death at this point. Being able to use both Yin and Yang energy, I now have the ability to manipulate life and death. Users can sense, create, shape and manipulate the essences of life and death, giving and taking both. Those with this ability can manipulate the beginning and end of the life cycles of any or all living organisms, allowing them to adapt and manipulate the forces of vitality and necrotic influences. They are capable of rendering local to planetary landscapes lush with life (from microorganisms to complex life — plant/animal) or barren at their leisure.
Which leads to necromancy as a similar ability. The users either have magical abilities or have powers that revolve around manipulating the dead, death, the death-force and/or souls for good (i.e., resurrecting the dead), evil (in various ways), or neither. They can also communicate with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. This is most frequently depicted as being able to resurrect the dead to varying degrees...an ability I can do without the Yin Hu Fu...I can see and speak with spirits which is also a type of medium.
More abilities for Lan Zhan and me will become known as we continue to cultivate our immortality. These abilities were already a lot to handle. Not to mention us now having extremely good weapon and combat skills. Baoshan taught us new sword techniques and we have become a force to be reckoned with.
