As for the Matchmaking Temple, it was a special place filled with many women who had stayed in the Immortal Palace for a long time. Having not been chosen by anyone, they were unable to "sell" themselves. Thus, they gradually lowered their standards and went to the Matchmaking Temple to wait for the arrival of men with extraordinary status.

After all, any man who entered the Immortal Palace was no ordinary person; at the very least, they were immensely wealthy. If these women were chosen by such men, it would be considered latching onto a powerful connection.

Therefore, any guest who entered the Immortal Palace would invariably visit the Matchmaking Temple before leaving. They would all select one or several women to take with them.

Of course, the women themselves had to be willing.

Ma Rufei and his two companions had actually come specifically for the Matchmaking Temple. Naturally, they intended to leave with a few women.

After all, the Immortal Palace was abundant with beautiful women, most of whom were exceptionally gorgeous—the kind that couldn't be found in the outside world.

As for the Beauty Palace and the Fairy Palace, although they also had many beautiful women, they were merely there to find work or join a major sect, not to become someone's woman.

Understanding all this, Zhang Bin's eyes lit up, and he immediately had Wu Qianqian lead them into the Talented Women's Palace.

Truthfully, Zhang Bin's purpose in coming here this time was twofold. First, he wanted to get a good look at Han Chun'er, the talented woman who had earned the title of Chang'e, to confirm whether she was the black-clad woman who had once tried to assassinate him. Second, he wanted to select some peerless talents from the Immortal Palace to rapidly strengthen the Taiqing Sect.

The channel provided by the Longyin Martial Arts Hall alone was not sufficient. The Immortal Palace, as it gathered talented and beautiful women from all over China, was an excellent place to recruit female geniuses. This could perfectly satisfy Zhang Bin's needs.

Since he was here, he naturally wanted to pick a few women with incredibly high talent.

Although the Fairy Palace had many beautiful women, they might not be willing to leave with just anyone, and the competition was also fierce. Leaving with one of them required paying a significant price.

Indeed, through Wu Qianqian's introduction and the information Tutu had gathered, Zhang Bin now clearly understood that it was not easy to take a beauty away from the Fairy Palace. The Immortal Palace used an auction system, typically holding one auction per month. At that time, high-ranking members from many sects and Ancient Martial Families would convene to participate.

To win a Fairy at an auction could cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Even several billion was not out of the question. After all, top-tier Fairies were incredibly rare. Their talents were unrivaled, and their beauty was also outstanding.

However, it was much easier to take a talented woman from the Talented Women's Palace. Although an auction was still necessary, the prices would not be very high, since they weren't considered beauties and only possessed great talent.

Boosting the sect's power didn't require finding mistresses; there was no need for excessive beauty. Therefore, heading to the Talented Women's Palace first was the best choice.

The Talented Women's Palace was very spacious and magnificently decorated. In the middle was a long, raised platform laid with a red carpet. Rows of talented women walked out one by one, parading down the platform before walking back. It was essentially a catwalk. Naturally, the guests who came to select them stood below, watching.

At the moment, there was a scattering of guests in the hall of the Talented Women's Palace. Each one had an imposing aura and appeared very powerful. Some had even reached the Golden Core Realm. Of course, there were also some wealthy patrons who were not cultivators, but they seemed to have a great interest in these talented women.

"Brother Bin, the wealthy are here to find bodyguards," Wu Qianqian whispered into Zhang Bin's ear, her breath as fragrant as an orchid. "They like to personally pick one or a few talented women with good potential, then offer a fortune to purchase proper cultivation techniques and resources for them from the Immortal Palace. Of course, they might already possess their own cultivation techniques and resources.

"Once they find a suitable talented woman, they'll negotiate terms. If they get the woman's consent, they'll participate in the auction for her. The talented women, in turn, get the chance to learn superior cultivation techniques and gain cultivation resources. Naturally, they become bodyguards personally cultivated by these rich patrons, completely loyal to them. If they prove disloyal, a complaint can be filed with the Daoyi Sect. The Daoyi Sect specifically manages all cultivators in the world, so they have ways of dealing with them."

"Those talented women who enter the Immortal Palace are all poor and cultivate the worst techniques," Chen Chaoyue added from the side. "Even if they aren't poor, they have no way of obtaining superior cultivation techniques and resources on their own. Therefore, they all hope for an opportunity to be nurtured through such means."

Damn... the Daoyi Sect really knows how to make a fortune.

Zhang Bin thought to himself as his gaze swept over the talented women on the stage, scrutinizing them carefully.

Meanwhile, Zhang Haijun went to grab several thick dossiers, handing one to Zhang Bin and the others. The dossiers, of course, contained detailed information about all the talented women, including their backgrounds, ages, origins, and strengths.

Zhang Bin didn't flip through his copy. In contrast, Ma Rufei and the others were examining their dossiers attentively. Zhang Bin simply continued to meticulously observe the women on the stage.

They all looked young, ranging from their teens to their early twenties. They had all cultivated to the Rushing Pulse Realm, with the majority having opened more than ten meridians. Some had even opened nineteen meridians. There was one girl, only fifteen years old, who had already reached the Qi Sea Realm.

However, this girl was extremely ugly.

No, she wasn't born that ugly. Her appearance was the result of a fire. Her face was dark and uneven, looking particularly frightening, like a demoness.

As for her figure, it was actually quite good. She stood at a tall, slender 1.7 meters, and her figure was naturally curvy thanks to her martial arts training. However, no one knew if the rest of her body was also scarred, so they dared not hope.

Having cultivated the Spiritual Eye, Zhang Bin could naturally see through her clothing completely. The talented girl's body was indeed covered with many scars, evidence that her entire body had been burned.

Just then, Tutu promptly sent the information it had found about this talented woman into Zhang Bin's mind.

"Yan Feifei, 15 years old, from SD province, from a martial arts family. Her home burned down in her childhood, leaving her as the sole survivor. She cultivates an incomplete technique but is exceptionally talented. Rank: SS..."

Zhang Bin's heart began to pound. A talent like Yan Feifei was incredibly rare. If he could win the bid for her and cultivate her diligently, she would surely become an extremely powerful expert. She would be no weaker than Liu Ruomei and Tian Bingbing, and might even surpass them, because her talent was even better.

It was true that Liu Ruomei and Tian Bingbing were currently stronger than Yan Feifei. They had both been nurtured by Zhang Bin and had successively reached the Qi Sea Realm. Their True Qi was somewhat more substantial than Yan Feifei's.

But Yan Feifei was only fifteen years old. And because she was disfigured, she could focus solely on her cultivation and grow powerful quickly.

I must win the bid for Yan Feifei!

Zhang Bin vowed resolutely in his heart.
