Grades and Attributes

Type Properties and value
Low-Grade Spirit Stone The standard low-level unit for trade, cultivation, mission rewards, and mining quotas. Ten Low-Grade Body Tempering Pills are valued at one Low-Grade Spirit Stone 11.
Mid-Grade Spirit Stone A rarer grade discovered within Qingyun Mountain Mine tunnels; one such deposit is guarded by a fourth-rank demonic beast 159.
High-Grade Spirit Stone Contains fewer impurities and more usable spiritual energy than lower grades, making it more beneficial for cultivation 11.
Attribute-less Spirit Stone Contains sparse Five Elements spiritual power. It can support cultivation without causing the elemental blockage Chen Huai'an experiences when cultivating a single attribute, though its progress is slow 109.
Attribute Spirit Stone Contains a specific elemental spiritual power and greatly accelerates cultivation of the matching attribute. They are rare; a Low-Grade wood-element stone costs ten ordinary Low-Grade Spirit Stones 92.
Five Elements Spirit Stone A set of five attribute stones used to balance all five elemental spiritual powers. Five high-grade sets were required for Chen Huai'an's Qi Refining breakthrough, at a stated equivalent cost of 25,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones 102.

Uses

Cultivation

  • Late Body Tempering Realm cultivators can use Spirit Stones alongside pills; higher-grade stones provide purer energy and better absorption 11.
  • Attribute Spirit Stones directly stimulate their matching spiritual power, such as wood- or earth-element spiritual power 92.
  • The Five Elements Qi Refining Formula uses Five Elements Spirit Stones to balance elemental power when overcoming major bottlenecks 101 102.
  • After cultivating the Chaos Five Elements True Formula, Chen Huai'an can absorb ordinary High-Grade Spirit Stones directly and convert their energy into Chaos True Qi 131.
Cultivation event Spirit Stone expenditure Result
Qi Refining breakthrough Five sets of High-Grade Five Elements Spirit Stones; equivalent to 25,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones Chen Huai'an breaks through to the Qi Refining Realm 102
Chaos True Qi cultivation Chen absorbs all Spirit Stones in his possession in less than a day Reaches Qi Refining Realm, Early Stage, Second-Layer Peak 131
Middle-stage Qi Refining breakthrough 500 High-Grade Spirit Stones; equivalent to 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones Reaches Qi Refining Realm, Middle Stage, Fourth Layer 142

Purple-Skinned Gourd Refinement

The Purple-Skinned Gourd Space can temper Spirit Stones into higher grades, but its output depends on capacity, available spiritual energy, and the space's other contents.

Observation Outcome
Chen Huai'an places three Low-Grade Spirit Stones in the space overnight. They grow larger and become saturated with spiritual energy; they are later identified as High-Grade Spirit Stones 9 11.
Early documented limit At most fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones can evolve into High-Grade Spirit Stones at once 48.
Spirit-herb expansion As more spirit herbs are planted in the space, Spirit Stone refinement slows 91.
Refinement outside the mine The space refines one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones into High-Grade Spirit Stones per day 152 172.
Refinement inside Qingyun Mountain Mine Dense spiritual energy doubles the rate to two hundred Spirit Stones per day; spirit herbs and Spirit Grain also grow faster 152 172.
Large-scale stockpile Chen Huai'an conceals 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and calculates that refining them at the mine rate would take roughly five hundred days 171 172.

Mining

  • Spirit Stone veins are vital to a sect's survival; Qingyun Sect's mine supports a sect with more than 100,000 disciples 128.
  • Qingyun Mountain Mine contains dense spiritual energy and heavy yin energy. A Spirit Vein lies beneath the mine, accounting for its unusually favorable environment for Gourd Space refinement 151 152.
  • Qi Refining cultivators use spirit-weapon mining picks. When their spiritual power is exhausted, mining becomes a test of physical strength 153.
  • The sect inspects departing miners and forbids privately removing excavated stones, though Chen Huai'an hides his gains within the Gourd Space 153.
  • Yang Fei and the Yin Puppets mine Spirit Stones for Chen Huai'an in hidden tunnels, allowing him to gather large quantities without personally excavating them 159.

Major Story Role

  • Chen Huai'an first obtains three Low-Grade Spirit Stones from Wang Tong's corpse; their successful tempering confirms the Purple-Skinned Gourd Space can improve Spirit Stone quality 9 11.
  • Spirit Stones become central to Chen's early resource strategy: he trades upgraded pills and stones for cultivation supplies while concealing his High-Grade holdings from other disciples 10 22.
  • The need to balance his Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root drives Chen to seek five elemental varieties, eventually enabling his breakthrough into the Qi Refining Realm 91 92 101 102.
  • During the Qingyun Sect–Yin Baleful Sect conflict, control of Qingyun Mountain Mine and its Spirit Stone production becomes a strategic objective for both sides 128 150.
  • Qin Muyao stages an escort mission involving 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones to expose Yin Baleful Sect infiltrators. Chen secretly retains the actual stones while allowing Liu Qing to believe he holds the shipment 167 168 171.
  • After Liu Qing dies, Chen treats the 100,000-stone cache as potentially ownerless and begins planning to refine it in the mine's high-energy environment 171 172.
