Biodata
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Spirit Stone |
| Original Name | 灵石 |
| Classification | A spiritual-energy resource that naturally forms in places rich in heaven-and-earth spiritual energy. 184 |
| Role | Primary currency of the Yang Realm and a direct source of pure spiritual energy for cultivation. 86 201 |
| Status | In circulation across cultivation society. 13 155 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 13, “Spirit Stones Are Meant to Be Spent” |
Characteristics
- Spirit Stones form only where heaven-and-earth spiritual energy is sufficiently abundant; without that energy, neither Spirit Stones nor many heavenly treasures and spiritual herbs can continue to form. 184
- Absorbing a Spirit Stone provides pure spiritual energy without the impurities associated with ordinary cultivation pills. 86
- They are simultaneously cultivation resources, trade currency, payment for services, and fuel for formations, talismans, spirit treasures, and transportation. 38 155 343
- Their value is highly contextual: two Spirit Stones can support a mortal family for roughly three years, yet cultivators may spend dozens or millions on cultivation opportunities. 13 304
Spirit stones were meant to be spent. 13
Denominations
| Grade | Documented properties |
|---|---|
| Lower-Grade Spirit Stone | The common transaction currency in Great Xia; three were generated by Chen Qiu’s Every Blade of Grass and Every Tree Trait after a minor breakthrough. 23 342 |
| Mid-Grade Spirit Stone | Equivalent in value to 600 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones; commonly used for Spirit-Gathering Arrays and major breakthroughs. 170 342 |
| High-Grade Spirit Stone | Scarce enough that major sect treasuries hold few openly; often kept in storage rings. 233 |
| Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone | Required to power a Heavenly Immortal Peak Sword Cultivator Puppet; sixteen can sustain a month of high-intensity combat. 318 |
Uses
Cultivation
- Cultivators directly absorb Spirit Stones to gain cultivation progress with pure spiritual energy. 86
- Spirit-Gathering Arrays consume Spirit Stones to accelerate cultivation and support breakthroughs. 110 231
- Higher cultivation speed increases the number of Spirit Stones required, following the principle that a stone provides only a fixed amount of cultivation progress. 231
- Vast Dao Foundations can make replenishment exceptionally expensive; Chen Qiu’s 10,000-li Dao Foundation required roughly 300 Spirit Stones to refill. 41
Commerce and Services
| Transaction | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary life-risking employment | 2 Spirit Stones per month | A Sixth-Level Qi Refining cultivator offered his services under these terms. 13 |
| Wounded demonic-beast batch | 32 Spirit Stones | Included Red-Eyed Wolves, Broken-Tail Monkeys, Armored Crocodiles, and a Porcupine Boar. 13 |
| Lower-Grade Heavenly Dao Retrospection Talisman | 50 Spirit Stones | Can recover a discarded Qi Refining Realm Trait choice. 23 |

Powering Treasures and Facilities
- Foundation Establishment Qi-Absorbing Talismans replenish spiritual energy during combat. 38
- Entering Mocking Heaven Hall from outside consumes at least one million Spirit Stones through its teleportation array. 343
- Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones alone can power the Heavenly Immortal Peak Sword Cultivator Puppet. 318
- The Treasure-Eating Spirit Tree absorbs spiritual energy and produces nearly 1,000 Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones every three months. 343
Economic Significance
- An ordinary family of three earns less than one Spirit Stone’s worth of income in a year, making even two stones a life-changing sum for mortals. 13
- Most rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators carry only twenty to thirty Spirit Stones; wealthy sect or Lineage disciples may carry hundreds or over a thousand. 29
- Spirit Stones determine access to cultivation arts, spells, talismans, pills, flying vessels, magical treasures, life-saving methods, and even everyday meals. 155
- Major wealth can be dangerous: Fat Dragon feared that Chen Qiu’s holdings of nearly 30,000 Spirit Stones would make them targets. 28
