Function and Scarcity
Spirit Stones are required for most major purchases in Cultivation Era, including Mall items, gift packs, gacha pulls, cultivation methods, and Foundation Establishment event materials. 2 4 9 26
At Zone 4's launch, output is extremely low, while players need Spirit Stones to advance. This drives both peer-to-peer trading and competition between wealthy players and players relying on daily income or grinding. 1 2
Ordinary money remains in daily use, but Spirit Stones have become valuable enough to affect real-world transactions; on the West Coast, they are reportedly used in oil trading. 1

Jiang Liu's Discounted Client
Jiang Liu's “0.1 Discount Welfare Version” displays heavily reduced actual costs. A Daily Gift Pack listed at 1 Spirit Stone costs him 0.01 Spirit Stones. 4
This purchasing advantage makes Spirit Stones disproportionately valuable to Jiang Liu: twenty Spirit Stones can effectively be spent as two thousand Spirit Stones through his client. 9
