When Song Xiaotian turned vicious, he had quite the air of a living king of hell.
Actually, when I first met him, he had not been this vicious. For some reason, his brutality had only grown since then.
However arrogant Lin Jinhua was, he still had to back down before Song Xiaotian.
He obediently told us how he and Du Yunting had plotted all of this.
At first, Lin Jinhua had not even known that extending a life was possible, but his acquaintance with Seventh Master had sparked his interest in metaphysics.
That was why I had seen so many books on metaphysics in his study.
And the reason Lin Jinhua had thought of using metaphysics to save his son, Lin Xiaohua, was Fate Pattern Resolution, the book I had seen on his desk.
Fate Pattern Resolution came from folk sources, but its contents were overly abstract, and in my view, many of its techniques would not work.
Lin Jinhua was only an enthusiast, so naturally, he could not understand it, but it had planted an idea in his mind: Life Extension.
Later, he had made a post on an online forum devoted to discussing the supernatural, asking about Life Extension. He had specified in the post that if anyone understood it, knew how to do it, and could help him, he could offer a reward of at least a million.
The post immediately attracted some attention online, but most people were just there for the spectacle and did not believe it was real, since many posts on forums like that were just attempts to grab attention.
Although most were merely watching for entertainment, someone actually gave Lin Jinhua a serious reply.
And this person replied to him in a private chat, explaining the principles of Life Extension in detail.
