Luo Fan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Niu Dagang put down his cup, and Lin Feifei straightened up.
Zhao Chunfeng adjusted his glasses. Ximen Chuixue still held his sword in his arms, but his ears twitched slightly.
Ai Si leaned against the back of his chair, while Han Shanzhong sat in the corner. Both looked at Luo Fan.
Luo Fan swept his gaze over everyone and spoke.
"You all know about Innate Yin Jade, right?"
Zhao Chunfeng nodded. "Wasn't that piece of jade the reason for all the commotion on the Yi City Battlefield? It attracted tens of thousands of Weird and nearly turned all of Yi City upside down."
Niu Dagang nodded too. "That stuff is downright sinister. Its aura alone can drive Weird mad."
The others had all heard about Innate Yin Jade as well, and nodded.
Luo Fan continued, "Innate Yin Jade is the treasure Weird love most. But do you know there's something they fear most?"
Everyone exchanged glances.
"Sunlight?" Zhao Chunfeng ventured.
Luo Fan shook his head. "Sunlight is a law of nature, not a treasure. What I'm talking about is Innate Yang Steel."
He paused, then explained, "Innate Yang Steel and Innate Yin Jade are on the same level. One is yin, the other yang, and they oppose each other."
"Innate Yin Jade makes Weird flock to it, while Innate Yang Steel makes them fear it like a tiger."
"The yang energy it contains is extremely effective at suppressing Weird. To give"
"an example, if Innate Yin Jade is a 'stimulant' for Weird, then Innate Yang Steel is their 'poison.'"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"You mean..."
Niu Dagang swallowed. "Weapons forged from this stuff can suppress Weird? Even to the point of ignoring level differences?"
