Why doesn’t she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a way,\" the black-robed man said with a smile, \"If a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator is willing to expend a large amount of Primordial Qi to change your fate, or if you obtain Heaven and Earth Wonders even I’ve never seen, then it’s possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a different expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they didn’t know what a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator or Heaven and Earth Wonders were, they could tell from the black-robed man’s tone that achieving this was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Hong, hearing this, looked even more bitter, yet a determined look quickly flashed in her eyes: \"I am willing to be a slave, a servant, just to ask the Immortal Master to take me in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed man turned to look at her, shaking his head: \"Your Qi-Blood is too weak; I have no interest in cultivating from scratch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, in the eyes of the black-robed man, Jia Hong’s worth was far less than Lou Yi’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Hong bit her lip and said to the black-robed man: \"I can endure hardship.
