Chapter 761 Tianyuan Great Force, Ore Vein Relocation (5K)_2
```
Mu Yuan had already sent people to the Secret Realm to collect the current advertisements from various groups.
Since many large groups offered this service, it didn't require spending Alliance Contribution Points and could be paid for with ordinary money.
Still, it was really not cheap.
"Red Lotus Group: A reputable large group with sixty years of history.
Trusted credibility, starting at 12,000 Soul Crystal Coins for a single migration service, including: four Legendary Realm experts proficient in business, one Superior Earth Vein Migration Secret Method, one Superior Earth Vein Stability Formation, and three Superior materials, plus several Rare and Ordinary level auxiliary materials."
"Jiuxuan Group: XXX...XXX, starting at 12,000 Soul Crystal Coins for a single migration service, including:..."
"White Shark Group: White Shark Group sincerely serves Lords of various domains with first-class credibility and reliable service.
Starting at 10,000 Soul Crystal Coins for a single migration service, including: four Legendary Realm experts of over two kilometers, one Superior level Great River/Heavenly Water/Giant Shark Earth Vein Migration Secret Method, one Superior level Earth Vein Stability Formation (optional:...), and materials..."
"Mianyun Group: Mianyun Group has operations in many areas and possesses a wealth of Earth Vein migration methods with first-class service. Order now and enjoy a 10% discount, with a single migration service starting at just 9,000 Soul Crystal Coins, including:..."
"White Stone Group:..."
"Jiu Hua Group:..."
After browsing, Mu Yuan found that prices ranged from 8,800 to 12,000.
The starting price here depended on the specific specifications of the vein. Typically, the cost of migrating a small Soul Sand Mine was the starting price.
But migrating a medium Soul Sand Mine, or targeted services for resources like the Elemental Fruit Forest, would require a higher price.
Additionally, it depended on the specific location and distance.
"The industry standard seems to be that if the distance between the resource land and the domain exceeds one thousand kilometers, an additional charge is required."
"Moreover, some groups' services aren't so widespread, limited to just one or two Great Domains, while others' operations span the entire Tai Xuan."
Red Lotus Group and Jiuxuan Group are among the largest groups in Tai Xuan; their operations cover the Alliance and even extend to many countries and regions.
Their migration service fees are also the highest.
White Shark Group is a newer and somewhat smaller major group, so their service fees are significantly less expensive; they're engaging in a price war.
"However..."
"Red Lotus and Jiuxuan Groups are expensive for a reason. Firstly, their credibility is solid. Secondly, they own multiple Earth Vein Migration Secret Methods and various types of Stability Formations suitable for all kinds of environments. The Legendary Realm experts they dispatch are also stronger, and thus, the migration of a resource land is more secure."
"If a migration team's methods are limited and their auxiliary items are not suitable, the migration process may cause irreversible damage to the resource land, significantly lowering its output."
"White Shark Group's expertise might be more ordinary, and as for Mianyun Group, which is even cheaper than White Shark..."
Mu Yuan had heard that some groups set traps in contracts to swindle those Lords who lacked the sophistication and the means to make a fuss, ultimately taking over their veins through various schemes.
There had been frequent instances of Lords' territories being undermined or taken over, let alone a mere vein.
Being penny wise and pound foolish was not wise.
"All things considered, the cost of migrating a resource land starts over ten thousand Soul Crystals. Of course, a small Soul Sand Mine, when fully mined, can yield tens of thousands of Soul Crystals. Even after deducting the manpower and resources for extraction, the migration of the vein is still worth it."
This was the case for ordinary domains.

For Tianyuan City, there was absolutely no need to migrate the several rich resource lands they previously occupied.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
These areas were not far from Tianyuan City. They had been able to defend them before, and even more so now.
What he wanted to migrate were the mines and treasure forests located within the territories of the Northern Black Crow Clan and Orochi Clan. These resource lands were too far away; they were difficult to defend, and mining and transportation were also challenging.
Migrating more resource lands might even improve the surrounding environment of Tianyuan City.
"Hiring people is out of the question. Tianyuan City is located in the Ten Directions Island Domain, and the migration distance is tens of thousands of kilometers. Wouldn't this migration cost two or three tens of thousands of Soul Crystals? Besides, the distance might be too great for any group to accept the task."
"Moreover, Tianyuan City has plenty of Legendary Realm powerhouses. There's no need to let outsiders earn this money."
Thinking this, Mu Yuan had Daisy, who was still in Pan Shi City, place an order with the local Jiuxuan Group representative and purchased:
One Nine Mysteries Earth Vein Migration Secret Method, including six Spell Imprint Stone Tablets;
Two sets of Nine Mysteries Great Formations, one set of Azure Wood Great Formation, each containing 36 one-time foundation stones;
A total of three sets of various auxiliary materials.
Altogether...
It cost more than 18,000+ Soul Crystals.
"Expensive, truly expensive! The most costly part of the migration service should be the fee for the Legendary experts, yet removing the Legendary service still costs so much! And this is with a discount!"
The Jiuxuan Group had their reasons.
What they sold was a Secret Method, it was knowledge.
There were many Earth Vein Migration Secret Methods available for purchase within the Tai Xuan Alliance, but the Nine Mysteries Earth Vein Transference Skills were top tier, suitable for many types of resource lands, making them a high-value proposition.
The Soul Crystals and other items of equivalent value carried by Daisy's caravan totaled far less than 18,000 Soul Crystals.
Mu Yuan had intended to send some through the Secret Realm, but the Jiuxuan Group representative stated that it would be fine to make up the balance during the next visit.
"For other Lords, we naturally operate on a cash-and-carry basis, but your Lordship is the well-reputed Tianyuan. Our group naturally trusts Tianyuan."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Yuan suddenly felt that the 18,000 was well spent.
