Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Spirit Stone |
| Occupation/Role | Primary cultivation currency; a stored source of spiritual energy for cultivation, recovery, formations, and trade. |
| First Appearance | 1 |
Denominations and Grades
| Denomination / Grade | Characteristics | Documented value or use |
|---|---|---|
| Spirit Crystal | A coin-sized fragment cut from a Spirit Stone. | One hundred Spirit Crystals equal one low-grade Spirit Stone; they are the common currency of Qi Condensation cultivators. 1 |
| Low-grade Spirit Stone | Standard unit used in everyday borrowing, purchases, and sect exchanges. | The sect normally grants 20 Contribution Points for one stone but charges 25 points to exchange for one; Class A disciples may exchange at 20 points per stone. 247 |
| Mid-grade Spirit Stone | Contains visibly abundant spiritual energy. | Used in major transactions and for drawing spiritual energy after combat. 96 98 |
| High-grade Spirit Stone | A scarce strategic resource. | Used to activate high-level formations and rapidly restore spiritual power; major powers stockpile them and restrict exchanges. 432 |
| Top-grade Spirit Stone | A semi-transparent stone containing tightly sealed spiritual energy, marked by slowly drifting mist within. | Forms only after thousands of years in a fourth-tier Spirit Vein; can be recharged by burying it in a Spirit Vein after use. 883 |
Formation and Supply
- Spirit Stones are byproducts of Spirit Veins: earth and rock nourished by a Spirit Vein may gradually transform into stones over centuries. 432
- Withered Spirit Veins can also leave behind Spirit Stone mines. 432
- Cultivators developed formations that accelerate Spirit Stone formation, allowing mines to be excavated, sealed, and later reopened for continued production. 432
- A mine sealed for longer has a better chance of producing higher-grade stones; a grade-three Spirit Vein may eventually nurture top-grade Spirit Stones. 432
- Top-grade Spirit Stones require at least a fourth-tier Spirit Vein and thousands of years to form. 883
Uses
Currency and Resource Exchange
- Spirit Stones are used to purchase cultivation arts, pills, talismans, tools, materials, cave dwellings, and services. 18 59 445 475
- They serve as collateral and debt payment between cultivators; Ji An begins his cultivation career by borrowing stones and Spirit Crystals from fellow disciples. 15 32
- Cultivators can convert Spirit Stones into sect Contribution Points, subject to exchange rates and quotas. 247
Cultivation and Recovery
- Cultivators may directly draw spiritual energy from a Spirit Stone to restore expended spiritual power. 96
- The recovery is not always efficient: Ji An restores only about thirty percent of his spiritual power after draining one stone because the Stone Turtle consumes part of the energy. 66
- Top-grade Spirit Stones contain gentler spiritual energy that is easier to refine than ambient heaven-and-earth spiritual energy. 883
- In one test, Ji An fully restored his spiritual power in roughly ten breaths by absorbing a top-grade Spirit Stone, consuming slightly over sixty percent of its stored energy. 883
Formation Fuel
| Formation grade | Price | Fuel capacity | Conversion efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Spirit Absorption Array | 22 Spirit Stones | Three loaded stones sustain roughly 10 hours | About 30% 36 |
| Superior Spirit Absorption Array | 45 Spirit Stones | Five loaded stones sustain roughly 16–17 hours | About 35% 36 |
| Premium Spirit Absorption Array | More than 100 Spirit Stones | Not specified | Used by major Foundation Establishment cultivators. 36 |
- High-grade Spirit Stones are particularly valuable for activating high-level formations. 432
- A top-grade Spirit Stone can power a top-grade second-tier puppet through substantially more attacks, though it remains insufficient for prolonged Golden Core-level combat. 441
Limitations
- Spirit Stones are renewable only when their associated Spirit Veins are not overmined. 432
- Recharging top-grade Spirit Stones takes at least two to three years and temporarily reduces a Spirit Vein's accumulation of spiritual energy. 883
- Spirit Absorption Arrays waste a significant portion of the energy loaded into them, converting only about thirty to thirty-five percent into usable cultivation energy. 36
