Fallen Devil: The Resurrection of the God of Death

First rehearsal

The night had arrived, Lin Xuan didn't know what to do other than to lean against the outer wall of Mei Lin's hut while slightly closing her eyes. Yet the coldness of the night, let alone the position on the outskirts of the forest as if piercing Lin Xuan's skin made him completely impervious. 

Moreover, Mai Lin or her teacher was extremely cruel, that was not to let herself in. But it should have been quite natural since there was only one room enough for Mei Lin to sleep in. Whereas Lin Xuan did not have the authority to enter into his private room.

Just as he was about to fall asleep though, Lin Xuan had a moment to think about, what was Mei Lin doing in this forest? however he had thought that this hut was completely new and along with Mei Lin brought him to a place like this. 

“Could teacher happen to find myself to the mainland of Mao? Why did he take me to the land of men? And also why the teacher to mainland Mao if he is a human?” Lin Xuan who felt the coldness of the atmosphere made him unable to sleep. And also he was also thinking of something about Mei Lin's plausible reasoning.

The next day, the sun that had yet to rise Mei Lin woke up and came out of her hut. Found Lin Xuan leaning against the bamboo wall in a condition of hugging both of his legs. Feel pity? Obviously not.

“Lin Xuan wakes up, don't you want to train yourself?”

Lin Xuan who heard the voice of a woman, in the end he was able to wake up. Seeing his teacher among the darkest bit of the day that was still in the early hours.

“Teacher?”

“Hei wake up damn. Don't laze!”

“Ba-good teacher.”

Lin Xuan was in a half-sleepy position, he immediately stood in front of Mei Lin who was completely expressionless. It even made Lin Xuan a little frightened by Mei Lin's monotonous expression.

“Do you see the hill beside it? You have to be on top of that hill before sunrise. You should be able to see it faintly even in early morning conditions.” Mei Lin said.

“A-what? Before the sun rises. But teacher, this is still the first day, I think ..”

“Time keeps running.” Cut Mei Lin.

Lin Xuan opened his eyes. He immediately ran with a heavy heart.

He really tried hard. The problem was that the training given by his teacher was really very unreasonable as it required to be at the top of the hill before sunrise.

Let alone the considerable mileage, balancing the time until the sun rose was likely extremely impossible with an ordinary run like that of Lin Xuan. Unless Lin Xuan had the science of lightening the body.

Not even halfway though, the condition is also getting brighter which indicates that the sun will rise once again. Lin Xuan continued running despite his body being extremely exhausted and also his breathing was irregular.

Some time later, the sun had already risen, but that was some time ago. More precisely at this time the sun has risen high which indicates that the day has shown the time of morning. Right then, Lin Xuan stepped on his feet and reached the top with an exhausted body.

Lin Xuan really couldn't bear it, he slightly clucked when he saw Mei Lin turned out to be already at the top. Mei Lin's position was sitting on a chair and sitting like a woman in general. Besides that he was holding onto a limp and was also sipping tea which made Lin Xuan could only smile wryly.

“You're two hours late.”

Ignoring the topic that Lin Xuan was talking about, Mei Lin said another. “Now I will give you some rules. First, you have to get up early and climb to the top of the hill before sunrise, otherwise you will get the penalty of standing and lifting the log according to your late time. For example, you are currently two hours late, then your punishment time is two hours.”

“A-what? Teacher, it doesn't make sense!”

“If you argue, then the punishment given will increase in multiples.”

Lin Xuan was frozen. Her neck was as if suffocating listening to Mei Lin's extremely unreasonable rules. Even an ordinary demon would not be able to carry it out.

“Next, you are forbidden to enter my hut. If you want, you can make your own hut outside.”

“Good teacher I understand.” Lin Xuan was still smiling bitterly about recalling the previous rules given by Mei Lin.

Mei Lin then stuffed her chair and tea glass into the storage ring. Then he again said, “Good, because it's the first day, I won't punish you.”

Lin Xuan smiled happily. Then he bent his body repeatedly. “Thanks teacher.”

Then, Mei Lin took out a pill from her storage ring. A golden-colored pill with a fairly high aura the moment Lin Xuan saw it. Actually Lin Xuan was curious about many things, his face was filled with questions, be it about the space ring that Mei Lin belonged to that seemed to provide anything, as well as about the pill.

“Tell this, it will build up a foundation of your cultivation instantly. And, did you see that tree? You can swallow it there, after that you can take the lotus position and try to absorb the energy that is around.”

Lin Xuan nodded as he received a golden-colored pill. Then, obeying what his teacher said, Lin Xuan walked towards the tree not far from where they were and took a position before swallowing the pill.

“I don't need to explain the basics anymore right? I mean about what is Dantian, Meridian and others.”

“Of course, this disciple already knew the basics despite never cultivating.”

“Good, now do without hesitation.”

Lin Xuan's position was already sitting under the tree. It was not without reason, it was also so that the heat of the sun did not hit him so that Lin Xuan could concentrate. Especially under the tree also contains energy that is so concentrated.

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan swallowed the pills obtained from his teacher. When it just passed through the throat, somehow his whole body felt the heat. His blood seemed to instantly boil which made Lin Xuan himself almost scream in pain due to its unbearable taste.

“Imagine a golden lotus flower blooming inside you. Then that golden lotus attracted the qi energy that was all around. The meridian pathway also needs to be opened for qi to flow into you. Xuan’er, the important paLing is concentration.”

Lin Xuan tried to obey what his teacher said. While concentrating, as well as listening to the advice given by his teacher, it was certainly not easy, but Lin Xuan would make an effort. Let alone the condition of his inner body that made Lin Xuan not so comfortable.

Trying to pull qi around doesn't seem difficult. Even Lin Xuan felt those energies scattering which required Lin Xuan to pull him. Especially after he felt a flower blooming inside him, making the condition of his inner body can be slightly adapted.

“After so long, this is what is called natural energy?”
