Chapter 20 Foundation Building
For Honghua, who has been going smoothly since her practice, foundation establishment should be the first obstacle she will encounter.

Building a foundation, as the name suggests, is to lay a good foundation for practice.If the whole practice process is likened to building a house, refining Qi is like transporting foundation materials, and building a foundation is to lay a good foundation for the building.This step has a far-reaching impact on the follow-up—materials can be re-found, and even the building layout can be re-planned, but the foundation is the most difficult step to modify.

The Phoenix Clan from which Honghua's blood originates belongs to the Spirit Clan, and the creatures in her store are called the Monster Clan after cultivation.

For groups other than the spirit race, foundation building is a step to strengthen and transform themselves with spiritual energy, and truly break away from the mortal body.

The spirit race is a natural spirit body. For them, there is no need to build a foundation, because their mold has already been formed, and they only need to fill in the corresponding materials.

According to the normal growth pattern of the spirit race, the foundation building period is actually the same as the qi refining period—eat, drink, increase aura, and pass naturally.Therefore, the adulthood of ordinary spirit race is the alchemy period.

But Honghua can't do this, after all, she is not pure Phoenix blood.This bloodline can make her foundation building easier and more effective, but it is not enough for her to skip this stage.

Therefore, the happy time of rapid growth in cultivation is over, and she has to start working hard to feel the hardships of cultivation step by step.

Honghua is not worried about the success rate of foundation establishment - at least she is a descendant of the Feng clan, if she fails even this step, she might as well go directly to the ancestors to apologize.

What she was worried about was whether the process of building a foundation would attract the attention of other practitioners.

Her foundation building cannot be carried out in the jade card space - on the one hand, there are special restrictions in the space, on the other hand, this kind of breakthrough can only be achieved in the real world, so she must be prepared for this .

After studying the map of the city, Honghua chose a park named Songquan Mountain in the city as the location.

She used to go there to feed the birds from time to time, so she was quite familiar with the park.This park is built on the hillside, with many forest areas and greenery but few recreational facilities. It is basically a small wild reserve, which is very suitable for Honghua's plan to hide from the public.

-

After confirming that his spiritual power had indeed grown to a limit, Hong Hua decisively packed up his things after the shop closed, picked up a mountaineering bag, put a few parrots and crows in it, and set off in plain clothes.

There are not many tourists in the park at night.Honghua skillfully walked up the path up the mountain, and like every tourist who climbs the mountain, she moved forward at a leisurely pace.

Walking on the forest path without even stone bricks, only step-like soil blocks, the tourists gradually become scarce until they disappear.Honghua chose a section of the road that was not monitored, turned to the woods, and walked deep into the dense forest.

There are not many spells that can be used during the Qi refining period, but the increase in physical fitness brought about by practice is enough for her to easily deal with the uneven ground and the branches intertwined on her way forward.

After traveling fast for about half an hour, she finally found a suitable open space, stopped, let out the birds in the bag, and asked them to help guard the surroundings.

Except for a few species, birds are generally night blind.However, the birds after training were able to initially overcome this problem. Coupled with the bright moonlight, they could still complete the task of guarding.

After setting up the defense, Honghua sat down with his back facing a big tree, closed his eyes and concentrated on adjusting his breath, and began to prepare to break through the checkpoint.

In different races and different cultivation methods, although the ways to break through from the Qi refining stage to the Foundation building stage are different, the essential principles are the same.

The Qi refining period is equivalent to introducing spiritual energy into oneself, just like a process of filling a bucket with water.Building the foundation is to make these "water" and the container truly integrated, so as to break through the limit of the container itself.According to practice, this step is to shape one's own spiritual veins, so that the body can truly receive spiritual energy.

Honghua cultivated according to the method of the Feng Clan, so at this time, he was naturally following the method of building the foundation of the Feng Clan - condensing his own Phoenix Flame.

Although the pure-blooded Feng clan does not have this difficulty, when the Feng clan is still there, it is inevitable that there will be mixed-race children in the clan. Therefore, Honghua also has corresponding guidance in his memory.

In a situation like hers, if one wants to continue cultivating according to the path of the Phoenix Clan, one must take advantage of the opportunity of a breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment period to reshape the main body of the Phoenix, and condensing the Phoenix Flame is the prerequisite for this.

Hong Hua calmed down, felt the flow of spiritual energy in his body, and then slowly extracted a faint flame from the depths where the spiritual energy gathered, and from the depths of his own blood.

This is not a real flame, but its existence can be clearly felt in Honghua's spiritual sense.Weak and weak, it seems that it will go out after the next sway, but it also buries profound and endless possibilities.

She connected the flames to her aura.The next moment, the aura in her whole body seemed to be burning in an instant, and the tumbling flames surged like an uncontrollable flood. Honghua quickly controlled the flow of the flames, making them flow in a predetermined vein like a river.

After several attempts by her, these flames were finally tamed, and gathered into networks according to her idea.This is the spiritual vein, the foundation of foundation-building practice.

Immediately afterwards, she let the aura of the flame spread, infecting her own body.This action made her body seem to melt, it was weird but she didn't feel any discomfort.Immediately afterwards, she could feel that her body itself was changing and reshaping bit by bit, following the changes in her spiritual veins.

This process is going on spontaneously, as long as the spiritual veins are formed, this step will naturally go smoothly and naturally.

Gradually, the momentum of the flame burning in the spiritual veins weakened, but from the "ashes", a small but real flame emerged.Hong Hua opened her eyes in an instant, and saw a mass of crimson fire churning and floating in front of her.

Foundation building is complete.

She looked at the fire first.The red flame looks no different from ordinary fire in appearance, but it contains blazing spiritual power.

Looking intently, Honghua found that there were other colors faintly mixed in the red firelight.But those variegations are so faint that it takes attention to make them out.

Referring to his memory, Hong Hua sorted out his current situation.Although the core ability of the Feng family is manifested in flames, not all of these flames are of the fire attribute.

This sounds strange, but to explain it, one needs to go deeper into the nature of Feng Yan.The phoenix family belongs to yang, and their phoenix flames are not so much flames, but rather the manifestation of yang attribute aura, and they are divided into five elements.

The flames condensed by Honghua are red, which means that most of her blood comes from the Suzaku clan with the fire attribute in the Phoenix clan.But there were other variegated colors in it, which made her confused: Didn't this be mentioned in the preview materials?

But now is not a good time to study this, let's analyze it slowly later.

Withdrawing the flame, Hong Hua looked around and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Wait, why did her eyesight suddenly become so much shorter?
　The five-color phoenix recorded in ancient texts does not actually include Suzaku. The red phoenix is ​​called phoenix. The original words are probably "red one, phoenix", but it is used here because of the asymmetrical number of words and the repetition of words, so it is still used. The more common Suzaku on the Internet is the setting of Chifeng.If we must study according to the myth, generally speaking, Suzaku would not be identified as a kind of phoenix.It's private here.
