**Chapter 317: Heavenly Palace - Which Scoundrel Dares Touch My Money?**
A famous scholar from the East once said: Touching the interests of the upper class is like taking their lives, and changing the ideas of the lower class is like digging up their ancestral graves!
Great Luo Heaven, this artificial heavenly realm located at the highest position of the thirty-six layers of continents, was currently shrouded in clouds and mist, filled with an ethereal aura.
Amidst the clouds, white cranes spread their wings, and within the mist, a magnificent complex of buildings was faintly visible.
The only drawback was that in this picturesque, immortal-like scene, the clanging sounds of construction were everywhere.
Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors carried sturdy Jade Stone Pillars, casting spells to move thousands of tons of Glazed Tiles and Gold Foil Tiles, shuttling through the Sea of Clouds.
Every large Jade Stone Pillar was pure white and flawless, exuding the unique warm and moist feel of jade.
Judging solely by appearance and texture, any one of these large Jade Stone Pillars, if casually thrown onto Earth, would be worth eight figures.
These Jade Stones were not products of Earth, but Ores purchased by Elder Mandel from Alien Planets. Currently, the Tang Group's Interstellar Business has extended its tentacles into the Milky Way Galaxy, reaching as far as the Nova Empire.
Through Procurement, the Tang Group already possesses twelve long-range Fleets, sixty-seven Interstellar Supply Points, two Habitable Planets, and thirteen Mining Planets. Each Stronghold has formed a Defense System with the Tang Group's Transcendent Warriors as the Core, Iron Soldiers as the Skeleton, and Artificial Intelligence as the Brain.
Not to mention their Transcendent Power, relying solely on their Interstellar armament, the Tang Group's Strength is enough to deter many Alien Forces.
(As a side note, the batch of Miners that the Tang Group plans to newly purchase, *cough cough*, recruit in South Korea and Japan are intended for the mining work on these Alien Planets!)
The Tang Group's overseas assignments have always been very mysterious.
As long as these stationed personnel can pass the training assessment, besides their salary automatically increasing by three levels, they will also receive two Gene Modulation Opportunities free of Contribution Points.
Many internal employees of the Tang Group might only realize, just before accepting training to go to a branch, that the company they work for has actually opened branches on Alien Planets.
The Tang Group's Human Resources department fully considers the autonomous wishes of these Employees, after all, the branches are several Light-years, or even dozens of Light-years away.
Fortunately, besides traditional Vehicles like Warships and Spaceships, the Tang Group has Space Gates set up internally.
Although they consume some Energy, they can guarantee these Employees stationed on Alien Planets seven days of vacation per year.
Under the temptation of high Allowances and Gene Modulation Opportunities, very few people would refuse such a chance.
Because Mining Planets require a large amount of Manpower for excavation, the Metal Ingots and Jade Ore Materials currently shipped back from Alien Planets, Starship by Starship, are mostly procured.
What Elder Mandel used to acquire these Ores was not Galactic Credits, but solid Pure Energy Crystals.
Energy Crystals of this Quality have always been the exclusive Energy Source in the hands of Higher Civilizations, just like the Energy Batteries held by the Exalted Race back then, absolutely not allowing outsiders to covet them.
The Pure Energy Crystals released by Elder Mandel can be said to be a Hard Currency that can circulate throughout the entire Universe. Their Value is almost enough to drive all Black Market Merchants insane; they have hired a large amount of Manpower.
Tens of thousands of mining Spaceships throughout the Milky Way Galaxy are greedily searching for and excavating Mining Planets, big and small, that they can find. These refined Iron Ore, Copper Ore, and Silver Ingots are sold by those Black Market Merchants and Ravagers to Elder Mandel, hundreds of Spaceships worth at a time, in exchange for boxes and boxes of Energy Crystals.
Some even directly used large towing Spaceships to pull an entire Ore Planet to make a Deal with Elder Mandel.
In today's Milky Way Galaxy, Elder Mandel is almost the most sought-after Merchant.
The boxes and boxes of Energy Crystals in Elder Mandel's hands have stimulated some Space Pirates and Ravagers, making their eyes red. Facing this Massive Amount of Wealth, it's not that they haven't had crooked ideas.
Even some Tier 1 and Tier 2 Civilizations, races, and countries have had some crooked ideas about Elder Mandel.
Their Fleets disguised themselves as Space Pirates several times, wanting to rob the Deal Planet where Elder Mandel was located, until Elder Mandel set off a "firework".
That was one from The Collector Tivan's Collection, said to be a mysterious Bomb left behind by a Lost Civilization. The destructive light wave from the Explosion directly swept away a Fleet that intended to block the road and rob, along with dozens of sneaky "spectator" Spaceships! The red-eyed pack of wolves, after the Bomb destroyed a fully formed Interstellar Fleet plus two Planets, immediately transformed into domestic dogs with goofy smiles.
Even the most ferocious Space Pirates could only honestly transform into Miners. Later on, they simply robbed the Fleets transporting Ores and resold them to the Tang Group.
The Fine Processed Ores are transported through various Spatial Magic Tools like the Five Yin Pouch, or via traditional Spaceship Transportation, and sent to the Underworld for Fine Processing.
As for the unrefined Metal Ores, whether they are common Copper and Iron Ore, Silver Ore, or Jade Ore, Gold Ore, mysterious Magic Ore, or Alien Metal, they are all sent to Hell. After sorting, they undergo Rough Processing first.
For this reason, in some of the Tang Group's acquisition Strongholds on Alien Planets, the ones in charge are often not Humans, but High-Grade Demons wearing Human appearances.
These High-Grade Demons were Summoned by Black Wizards, beaten black and blue, and forced to sign unequal Contracts.
They will send these received Ores directly to the Hell Dimension through Magic Arrays.
In the environment of Hell, where Active Volcanoes are everywhere, a large number of Mineral Veins have been bred. It's understandable that common Metal Ores like Copper Mine and Iron Ore are common.
Hell also stores a large amount of Gold Mineral Veins.
However, compared to Humanity, except for Dragonkin Demons like the Demonic Dragon Race who like shiny things, Common Demons are completely uninterested in this kind of Metal that they can neither eat nor use to increase their Strength.
