Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 430 - 429: Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer
```
"You this child, I told you already that mom is fine, why did you rush back in such a hurry?" Xu Suya, who was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool with her husband, saw her son returning in a flustered state and couldn’t help but fondly stroke his head, chiding him.
"Are you really okay?" Ge Dongxu asked worriedly.
"This afternoon, I don’t know how Director Jiang got hold of my phone number, but he went out of his way to call me, discussed the specifics of the incident with me, and sincerely apologized. He also invited me to teach at the town’s Third People’s Primary School, urging me to accept. I’m not so rigid. Just because of one or two bad apples, I wouldn’t abandon my cherished career. So, rest assured, my mood might be still somewhat affected, but once the new term starts and I see the innocent smiles of the children, everything will be all right," Xu Suya replied.

"Heh, I knew mom is a paragon of teachers, always instructing others. Now when she has a problem herself, she wouldn’t be unable to get past it," Ge Dongxu said with a sigh of relief and a laugh.
"That’s also because I have a good son like you, otherwise, not to mention getting past this, I wouldn’t even be able to keep on teaching," Xu Suya said with a long sigh, filled with myriad emotions.
In the end, her mood was as she had said, needing to see the pure smiles of the children when school started again in order to fully recover.
Knowing that his mother’s spirits wouldn’t completely recover in a moment, Ge Dongxu didn’t dwell on the matter any further and laughed, "Anyway, it has come to this, so mom, why not just go for a permanent position this time, to stop others from looking down on you?"
"That wouldn’t be right, the other villages and even Ge Dongmei from our own village are still just substitute teachers. If I were to transfer, it would certainly cause unrest," Xu Suya shook her head.
"What’s there to be uneasy about? You are an excellent teacher, and your qualifications are all laid out there," Ge Dongxu said.
"Still, it’s not good. It’s better to follow the normal process, whatever will be, will be—others will have no objections then. Besides, isn’t having a capable son like you enough? Do I need to compete with them for a position?" Xu Suya said, her face revealing pride as she spoke.
"That’s true," Ge Dongxu said unabashedly.
"You mother and son, really are, really are..." Watching one praising her son and the other so full of himself, Ge Shengming couldn’t watch it anymore.
"Really are what?" Xu Suya glared.
"Ahem, really are good!" Seeing Xu Suya glaring, Ge Shengming quickly changed his words.
"Haha!" Seeing his dad at a loss for words, Ge Dongxu couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
"You scamp!" Seeing his son reveling in schadenfreude, Ge Shengming wanted to give his son a tap on the head, but facing his wife’s watchful eye, he ultimately didn’t dare to carry through with it.
The family chatted and laughed in the yard, and Xu Suya’s mood improved a great deal.
...
At the hour of Zi, the night sky was sprinkled with myriad stars.
Ge Dongxu was seated in the yard, meditating with his eyes closed.
Around him were placed seven Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade, and hanging around his neck, besides the Peach Wood Sword, there was now also that pitch-black jade core.

Threads of essence from the Big Dipper streamed through the vast, distant cosmos, converging around Ge Dongxu, making him glow with speckles of starlight that made him seem exceptionally sacred and solemn in the darkness of the night.
The Spirit Platform was exceptionally clear and refined tonight, like a spotless mirror, perfectly reflecting the circulation of the True Qi within his body and the changes in his organs.
After his previous enlightenment on the Yin Yang energies at Samosir Island, Ge Dongxu’s cultivation had greatly improved, just a step away from reaching the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. These past few days of cultivation, with the aid of the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Talisman Jade, the True Qi inside his body had become even purer and more robust.
Time stealthily passed in the night, but the True Qi within him grew stronger and stronger until, eventually, there was a sign of it brimming and overflowing.
Seeing it "brim and overflow," Ge Dongxu felt hesitant.
It was just that last month, he had entered a strange state, and soon after, he broke through to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer. Now that he was about to break through again, such an abnormally rapid pace made Ge Dongxu involuntarily develop a bit of an uneasy sentiment, losing the resolute determination he usually had.
No sooner had this sentiment arisen than distracting thoughts surged forth, and the robust True Qi abruptly began rampaging through his body like an uncontrolled wild horse.
Ge Dongxu had never experienced such a situation before, and he was shocked and somewhat at a loss when a streak of coolness burst forth from his chest.
Ge Dongxu immediately calmed down, regaining his usual decisiveness and perseverance, and gathered the rampaging True Qi to shoot straight toward his heart along the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.
Suddenly, Ge Dongxu felt as if countless needles were pricking his heart, causing his whole body to convulse with pain.
Nevertheless, Ge Dongxu ignored everything, focusing solely on controlling the True Qi, which gradually returned to calm, and formed another Air Cyclone on the outer wall of his heart.
The Air Cyclone moisturized the outer wall of the heart, making it gradually become tougher.
"Phew!" Ge Dongxu felt the two Air Cyclones rotating, one inside and the other outside the heart, every fraction of a second making it stronger. He couldn’t help but let out a deep, long breath and then slowly opened his eyes.
The Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian both flow through the heart and are responsible for it, which shows the importance of the heart to the body.
Previously, Ge Dongxu had already formed an Air Cyclone inside the heart through the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian. Now, another Air Cyclone had formed on the outer wall of the heart through the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.
At this moment, his heart truly became incredibly strong. By now, ordinary bullets probably couldn’t penetrate this formidable heart.
Although he had once again broken through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer within less than a month—a realm unimaginable to ordinary Qimen Sorcerers—Ge Dongxu did not feel much joy. Instead, his eyes revealed a look of lingering fear, and he gently touched the black Jade Token at his chest.
If it weren’t for the calming and demon-repelling effects of this black Jade Token, allowing him to regain his composure in time, he might have very well succumbed to Deviation due to the sudden fear of gain and loss and hesitation.
Ge Dongxu sat in the courtyard for a long while, and the look of lingering fear in his eyes eventually turned into joy and determination.
Although this cultivation session nearly led to Deviation, it also tempered my willpower and made me understand that one must forge ahead in cultivation, aiming straight at one’s true heart. In this sense, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Having realized this, any fear in Ge Dongxu’s heart vanished. His thoughts became clear, and his Sea of Consciousness churned, revealing an even larger expanse of clear space, and his spiritual power had advanced much more than before.
