Things that are set up during the Mo arc in the novel that the fandom feigns don't exist:

Wei Wuxian meditates twice before things go to shit, partly to acquaintance himself with this new body he's inhabiting. During this time, it's explicitly mentioned he's building up Qi, aka Orthodox Cultivation.

The entire exposition on how Guidao works goes ignored. Starting with the fact that Wei Wuxian only requires his voice to do Guidao with "no fancy rituals or seals involved", he's such a powerful ghost cultivator however that his voice carries so much power it will freak out most weak ghosts into terrified immobility at his power. This makes them useless.

While he can tone down his voice and be as gentle as possible, it's still too much for a weak ghost that's unused to him. There are two ways around that problem: he either "breaks in" the ghost (like one would a horse they want to teach to be ridden) which takes time and works better on ghosts he woke himself, or he uses a tool (like... a flute *wink*) to further soften his commands to something bearable to them. The flute probably also has the advantage of furthering his range, but its main purpose is pointed to be a dampener of sorts that allows him to get weaker unfamiliar ghosts to collaborate without freaking out at the onslaught of power.

All these problems become a non-issue for stronger ghosts, which is likely why he says in the narration that the fiercer the fierce corpse, the less trouble they give him.

This isnt the first chapter, but his ghost cultivation talismans are not mentioned to be powered by his own (resentment) energy, but by smaller spirits too weak to be otherwise useful that he keeps catching around. In the Dafan Mountain arc, he's outright frustrated at his lack of success finding useful spirits despite creating a bag to hold them and carry them around.

He can further boost a ghost under his power using sound. In general, the initial chapter ties WWX's power to breath (a classic symbol of life) and sound, not having resentment in his body. While building up normal Qi is brought up multiple times, resentment goes virtually unmentioned regarding WWX himself.

well this song isn't over yet,

and love you're just in time.
