This place has its own rules. Their currency is not spirit stones; in Chaos City, spirit stones are not very valuable. The spiritual energy within them is of a lower grade compared to the ambient energy contained in the environment of this region.
The currency used here is called "Ancient Gold." It is forged from a dark golden metal and is measured in taels, with four denominations: one, ten, one hundred, and one thousand taels.
The annual salary for an Arbiter is one hundred gold—that is, one hundred taels of Ancient Gold per year. One thousand taels of Ancient Gold is enough to purchase a top-grade Spiritual Tool. In the Immortal Realm, where top-grade Spiritual Tools are extremely scarce, they are considered nothing special here in this corner of the former immortal world. They are the standard equipment for those in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
