| First Appearance | Chapter 3 |
Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| High-grade Spirit Stone → Top-grade Spirit Stone | 3 | A high-grade Spirit Stone whose progress approaches 100% may transform into a top-grade Spirit Stone. |
Grades and Value
| Grade / Form | Known details |
|---|---|
| Low-grade Spirit Stone | Commonly used in small transactions. Long Xuan receives 307 low-grade stones for an entire harvest of first-grade spirit herbs. 3 |
| Mid-grade Spirit Stone | One mid-grade stone is valued at one hundred low-grade stones. 6 |
| High-grade Spirit Stone | A stone nearing 100% growth progress may be on the verge of evolving. High-grade stones are valuable enough to be used in high-end wagers and can power the third tier of the Five-Element Colossal Cannon. 3 243 264 |
| Top-grade Spirit Stone | A priceless rarity said to appear less than once in a hundred years; its value cannot be estimated normally. Top-grade stones contain exceptionally pure attribute power close to origin power and are comparable in value to Millennium Ice Marrow. 3 106 |
| Attribute top-grade Spirit Stone | Top-grade stones may carry metal, wood, water, fire, or earth attributes. A complete set of the five attributes is a principal material for the Five-Element Reversal Grand Formation. 106 112 |
Economy and Trade
- Spirit Stones are exchange equivalents rather than standardized currency; because their quality varies, transactions are fundamentally barter and prices are negotiated case by case. 6
- Low-grade Spirit Stones are insufficient for rare treasures. Long Xuan cannot afford ordinary Darksteel or a high-grade Spirit Stone while holding only ten stones. 3
- Their purchasing power depends heavily on local liquidity. A treasure may be worth vastly more in theory than any available buyer can immediately pay. 40
- Large quantities require suitable storage equipment. Long Xuan’s ordinary storage bag cannot hold 700 million Spirit Stones. 44
- Priceless treasures are often unsuitable for Spirit Stone purchases altogether and are instead exchanged through barter, as no amount of liquid Spirit Stones necessarily equals their long-term value. 33 149
- Formations consume Spirit Stones as reserve energy when ambient spiritual energy cannot sustain their operation. Powerful killing formations can exhaust mountain-sized stockpiles of stones in a single activation. 74
- Top-grade Spirit Stones are exceptionally scarce. The Far Western Market and even the Qian Clan Merchant Association could not readily supply one, while the Long Family valued each of its top-grade stones at thirty million contribution points. 106 110
- The Five-Element Colossal Cannon consumes Spirit Stones of all five attributes: its lowest tier requires 10,000 low-grade stones of each attribute, while its highest tier requires one top-grade stone of each attribute per shot. 243
- High-value businesses may avoid Spirit Stone payment altogether. Long Xuan’s limited-edition Insect Armor is exchanged for specified rare materials, turning customers into suppliers for his research. 340
Notable Transactions
| Transaction | Amount | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Sale of Long Xuan’s first-grade spirit-herb harvest | 307 low-grade Spirit Stones | Nearly all proceeds are spent on Gu-refinement materials and ten Gu jars, leaving him with ten stones. 3 |
| Sale of Cockroach Gu to Li Erniu | 3 mid-grade Spirit Stones | Long Xuan’s opening market sale establishes the Gu’s value. 6 |
| Stone King fossil fragments | 10,000 Spirit Stones each | Long Xuan sells dozens of supposedly worthless fragments after cutting the Stone King. 14 |
| Ten Spirit-Gathering Pills | 1.1 million Spirit Stones | The Long Family Head purchases the first auctioned bottle. 41 |
| Final bottle of Spirit-Gathering Pills | 2.8 million Spirit Stones | Qian Duoduo wins after rival merchant associations enter the bidding. 42 |
| Ownerless Fossil Ore Vein map | 700 million Spirit Stones | The Long Family Head secures the map through funds pooled by the seven great Lineages. 44 |
| Five Marrow-Washing Pills | 1 billion Spirit Stones | The Medicine Clan and Alchemy Clan halt their bidding war and each pay 500 million Spirit Stones to divide the pills. 161 |
| Thirty barrels of Spirit-Recovery Wine | 12 million Spirit Stones | The wine is sold at auction, demonstrating the strong market demand for spiritual-power recovery consumables. 163 |
| Living Wood | 41 billion Spirit Stones | The Qian Clan Merchant Association’s sale of the life-extending divine wood becomes one of the largest known auctions in Blackstone City. 181 |
| Death Sea spirit herbs | 400 million Spirit Stones | Long Xuan sells the herbs acquired from the Black Dragon Pirate Group, though he believes the return is below their full potential value. 275 |
| Restricted storage pouch | 1,010,000 Spirit Stones | Long Xuan buys the pouch as a blind-box gamble after its resistance to replication suggests unusually high-grade contents. 337 |
| Heaven-Defying Pill | 9.1 billion Spirit Stones | The Qian Clan Merchant Association’s Fourth Young Master acquires the aptitude-raising pill; Long Xuan receives more than 8.6 billion Spirit Stones after commission. 338 |
| Moon Tree | 9,000,000,001 Spirit Stones | Long Xuan outbids Burial Demon Old Ghost by one Spirit Stone and spends nearly all of his accumulated wealth to obtain the tree. 338 |
| Divine Dragon Ship component commissions | 3 million Spirit Stones | Long Xuan pays one million stones for expedited Darksteel propellers and Mithril cannon work, then two million for the ship’s cabins. 243 |
Story Role / Major Arcs
- Spirit Stones motivate Long Xuan’s early trips to Far Western Market, where he learns that mass-produced first-grade spirit herbs have limited value. 3
- His ability to see progress lets him identify a potential high-grade-to-top-grade Spirit Stone transformation, revealing the hidden potential of apparently ordinary resources. 3
- The Stone King’s ten-million-Spirit-Stone price drives Long Xuan to enter Qian Jinjin’s Glow Gu proposal contest rather than attempt a direct purchase. 9 12
- Long Xuan’s need for Spirit Stones to fund the Divine Ice Flame Formula leads him to sell the location of a Fossil Ore Vein, ultimately making him one of the wealthiest Rogue Cultivators in the region. 21 44
- His 700-million-Stone payment gives him the resources to pursue costly top-grade Gu refinement and the creation of four exceptional Spirit Wines. 45 46
- Fossil gambling establishes Spirit Stones as the central stake in Long Xuan’s early treasure-hunting career. While ordinary cultivators gamble on the slim chance that a fossil contains a living Spirit Insect, Long Xuan exploits his ability to identify hidden value. 8 11 14
- Spirit Stones become a strategic resource for formations. The enormous consumption of his Ice Formation teaches Long Xuan that destructive power must be supported by equally immense energy reserves. 74
- The difficulty of collecting five attribute-aligned top-grade Spirit Stones delays the Five-Element Reversal Grand Formation, emphasizing that even Long Xuan’s wealth cannot readily secure the rarest resources. 106 110 112
- Later auctions demonstrate the extreme volatility of Spirit Stone value: rival clans bid one billion for five low-grade breakthrough pills because of their research potential, while the Heaven-Defying Pill reaches 9.1 billion due to its ability to improve aptitude. 161 337 338
- Long Xuan’s massive fortune is largely depleted by his purchase of the Moon Tree, illustrating that Spirit Stones remain insufficient to guarantee security when truly irreplaceable cultivation treasures appear. 338
- Spirit Stones continue to serve as both fuel and ammunition for Long Xuan’s technological ambitions, particularly the Five-Element Colossal Cannon aboard the Divine Dragon Ship. 243
