Wuxian and Wangji meditated for those three days and felt a shift in their cultivation as Baoshan said would happen. Now that they were both in a new stage of cultivation, they were to start training. Wuxian and Wangji trained separately for a while to know their own abilities before learning to work together.

Wuxian was currently with Hua Cheng, "I may be immortal now but just know you are still more powerful than me," Wuxian said.

"That may be true but I am going to push you. I heard you don't like to do things easily so I won't be easy," Hua Cheng said.

"Alright," Wuxian said, "what do I do first then?"

"We are in an area filled with resentful energy, you should be able to sense that," Hua Cheng pointed out.

"I can, I didn't know there was a place like that here at Baoshan's," Wuxian said.

"There isn't, she let me make a place to help you," he said, "now, you have amazing abilities. You could do them as a cultivator but now you don't need to worry about losing control. Here, we are going to channel your inner Yiling Laozu."

"Alright," Wuxian said, "so you want me to summon a corpse or something?"

"Yes," Hua Cheng said, "I will have to be a little easy on you due to me being way more powerful but you are going to fight me, using only your resentful energy."

"Aren't I supposed to learn to use both?" I asked.

"Yes but you need to learn what you can do with your other powers," Hua Cheng replied, "you know the orthodox path well, but how well do you know the unorthodox path?"

"I have a feeling that I barely scratched the surface of that," Wuxian said.

"Correct," he said and summoned his silver butterflies, "don't let these little things fool you, they are actually quite dangerous."

Just like that Hua Cheng sents hundreds of butterflies towards Wuxian. Wei Wuxian didn't even have time to think or hesitate. He did everything on instinct alone. His eyes turned that beautiful crimson red as resentful energy began to flow out of his pours. The resentment acted as a shield and kept the butterflies attacks from hurting him. The butterflies burst into dust upon impact. Wuxian didn't realize how incredible that was just yet. He then raised his hands from his sides and several corpses crawled out of the ground.

"Attack," Wuxian commanded.

Wuxian did not need the Yin Hu Fu anymore, he was the source now. He could use Chenqing to help enhance his orders, like using it as a speaker to reach a larger radius. Hua Cheng smiled and summoned his trusty scimitar, E-Ming. Even while directing the corpses, Wuxian summoned Suibian and fought head on with E-Ming. Though Hua Cheng was a supreme ghost king who has a lot of power, Wei Wuxian was able to match him, and he was only a newly formed immortal. Hua Cheng knew that Wei Wuxian had great potential.

The two stood at a stalemate, "you did well for our first day," Hua Cheng said, "can you call the corpses off and settle down?"

Wuxian did as Hua Cheng asked. The corpses went back to their place in the ground and Wuxian's eyes went back to being a beautiful silver, "that was amazing, I didn't know I could do that," Wuxian said, "I didn't really have to think either. It was like it was all on instinct."

"That means you are doing it right," Hua Cheng said, "if your partner is doing well with his training, we can work with him tomorrow. I want to see how you two work together. I'm sure Baoshan and Gege want to know too."
