When I walked into the hall of Huo family, I saw several elders sitting in the hall. The old man sitting at the top was gray and his face was covered with wrinkles. Although he looked haggard and thin, his brown eyes were deeply trapped in his eye sockets, but his sharp shimmer was shining. From his eyes, he should be in his seventies.

Sitting at the bottom right of him were two middle-aged men. Although they were young, they were not as imposing as the old man. However, their appearance and facial features were very similar to those of the old man. At this moment, they sat upright and looked a little serious.

Sitting opposite them was a young man in a white robe. He looked in his twenties, much more mature than Huo Mingyu. His facial features looked cold and tough, and his eyes were even more arrogant and indifferent.

As soon as Huo Mingyu walked into the hall, before he could salute, the white-haired old man at the top suddenly punched the table, making a loud noise, and then shouted fiercely, "Damn it, don't stay at home to refine elixirs, where have you gone again!"

The angry curses made Xiahou Wanxuan and others who followed him in tremble, and their faces turned pale.

However, before they recovered, Huo Mingyu retorted unhappily, "Our Huo family has long been out of the qualification to participate in the competition. No matter how I practice, it will be useless! You should just die as soon as possible."

When the old man heard him say this, he was so angry that he glared at him and cursed again, "Damn it, you have the nerve to say it! If it weren't for your useless thing, why would our Huo family not even have the qualification to participate in the competition!"

"I'm not an alchemy material. You can force me no matter how you force me. I'm like this too! If you want the Huo family to requalify for the competition, you should put your hope on your second brother!" Huo Mingyu yelled back angrily, not caring about any etiquette and seniority. At first glance, he was oppressed for a long time, disgusting these people in the hall to their core.

Seeing him so arrogant, the old man with white hair was so angry that he was trembling all over, and he couldn't breathe when he was so angry that he was wearing a navy blue robe below. Seeing that the old man was so angry, he looked embarrassed and quickly smoothed out. "Father, Ming Yu is still ignorant. The more he puts pressure on him, the more he resists. The matter of alchemy can only be cultivated slowly and cannot be impatient."

Huo Mingyu looked very similar to the middle-aged man who was talking. From his tone, he also wanted to protect him and help him plead for love. Su Moliang guessed that this person should be Huo Mingyu's biological father.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a blue brocade robe and relatively burly figure sat next to him, snorting coldly and sarcastically, "Second brother, you can't say that. Since my son's death, our Huo family has not been qualified for competition for several years. Now the Huo family is getting worse day by day. If this continues, the Huo family will lose sooner or later! Therefore, we don't have much time left. If Huo Mingyu doesn't hurry up and practice, our Huo family will be finished!"

"Since my uncle knows that there is not much time left, I should let my second brother practice quickly. Why should I place my hope on me, a waste?" Huo Mingyu was dissatisfied and hummed with his eyes bulging.

The man called uncle frowned in anger when he heard this, and cursed, "Bastard, elders teach you, you dare to talk back! If your second brother had a little talent for alchemy, I would have let him refine alchemy long ago. How could it be your turn, a waste!"

"I don't have the talent for alchemy. After practicing for so many years, I have reached the level of a mid-stage alchemist. I can't even meet the minimum requirements for participating in the competition. How can you revive the Huo family?" Huo Mingyu thought he had already worked very hard and had made great efforts for the Huo family, but he had no talent. No matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to meet the requirements for participating in the competition even if he was forced to death.

What's more, the Huo family never regarded him as a human being. When he had his elder brother there, he was almost a transparent person. Except for his biological parents, everyone in the family treated him coldly. Later, after the elder brother, who was an alchemist, was killed, they began to pay attention to him, just because the entire Huo family, except for the elder brother, was the only one who could refine alchemist. Although they were not very talented, they were at least a famous alchemist.

Therefore, the Huo family regarded him as a tool to revitalize the family, wanted to train him into a powerful alchemist, win the ranking in the competition, and took the Huo family members into the immortal pool to practice.

However, ideals are full and reality is skinny. The more you desire, the more things you want, the more things will go against your wishes.

He is not the material for alchemists. No matter how they beat him, scold him, or lock him up, he will not meet the requirements for participating!

The young man in white robe who was sitting on the side heard Huo Mingyu turn the conversation to himself, his eyebrows slightly closed, and a sharp cold light shot out of his eyes, and he said lightly, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help with your second brother, but I found out that I really don't have any mental power at all. I can't be as lucky as you, and I can become an alchemist! So, thank you for your hard work."

"What's the hard work for him? Is it hard? You have always been the younger generations in Netherworld City. If it weren't for you, our Huo family would have been scolded as a successor! Although you don't have the mental power, you have excellent spiritual power at least and you will not be able to do anything like him!" The old man of the Huo family immediately retorted disagreeably when he heard the words of the young man in the white robe. He could tell his preference for the young man in the white robe.

Although the profession of alchemist is very popular and noble, it must be a elixir who can refine elixirs. Alchemist like Huo Mingyu who can refine at most some of the lowest level of elixirs and does not even have the qualification to participate in the competition can really not be respected by people.

When the man in white robe heard this, he glanced at Huo Mingyu coldly. The contempt and pride of floating pupils were fleeting. Although it was soon captured by Su Moliang.

It seems that Huo Mingyu's second brother speaks nicely and he also has extremely contempt for Huo Mingyu in his bones.

"Father, it was because of my incompetent teaching that made Mingyu so lazy. I will strengthen his training in the future to strive not to disappoint his father!" The man in navy blue clothes looked particularly ugly, and he seemed to feel sorry for his son being scolded and humiliated in public, so he took the responsibility and planned to temporarily calm Mr. Huo's anger.
