Once again, everyone watched in awe, utterly dumbfounded and rendered speechless by the overwhelming wave of resentful energy. Was it a resentful creature, or perhaps some mysterious being composed entirely of resentment? Regardless of its form, the fact that it behaved in such a manner, driven solely by resentment, was truly perplexing to all who witnessed it.

After a long pause, Lán Xīchén turned to his uncle with a curious expression and posed a question. "Uncle, is it conceivable for energy fueled by resentment to exhibit such behavior?" He inquired, seeking clarity and understanding.

As silence enveloped the hall, Lán Xīchén's question reached the ears of all those present, capturing their attention amidst the backdrop of the astonishing memory. With an air of intrigue and anticipation, they instinctively turned towards them, their eagerness palpable as they awaited the wisdom and insights that Master Lán would undoubtedly share in response.

Lán Qǐrén's face wore a pensive expression as he gently stroked his beard, deep in thought. "According to teachings, the cultivation of resentful energy poses risks to both the body and soul. Engaging with it for an extended period can lead to qi deviation-an undesirable consequence for any cultivator. Not only does resentful energy impact the emotional well-being, but it also has the potential to inflict physical damage. Even the weight of depression can manifest in tangible ways, causing behavioral changes. Additionally, the effects may be influenced by the amount of sunlight one exposes themselves to." Pausing momentarily, a furrow formed on his brow, revealing internal contemplation and a sense of unease.

"But as I reflect on these memories, it becomes clear that the presence of resentment energy extends far beyond what we had initially learned," Lán Qǐrén continued, leaving everyone astounded. Even the Twin Jades, who knew their uncle intimately, were visibly shocked by his revelation. Given his well-known stance on resentment energy, his assertion that there is more to it shook them to their very core.

Unfazed by the opinions others held of him, Lán Qǐrén sighed and pressed forward, well aware of the contradiction this presented. It was completely out of character for a member of the Lán clan to sigh, especially when it pertained to discussing resentment energy. "The study of resentment energy remains woefully insufficient, leaving us with an incomplete understanding of its applications, behavior, and all other aspects. I regret to admit that even after witnessing this memory, my knowledge of resentment energy remains incomplete." With a tinge of unease, he acknowledged his limitations and the gaps that persisted in his comprehension of this intricate force.
