In other words, the shell that Ghost Face inhabited as an entity at the Nascent Soul Stage is still intact, but the filling inside has partly gone missing. Generally speaking, in the Cultivation World, it's fairly easy to recover from such a condition. As long as one can timely replenish with plenty of spirit food or elixirs rich in Spirit Qi, one can quickly regain strength and once again possess the power of the Nascent Soul Stage. For other cultivators, achieving this is relatively easier since what they mainly lack is not the ability to own a bottle that can hold water, but rather the water itself.
Ghost Face isn't free to act on his own will now, He definitely needs to obtain Qi Tian's permission if he wants to recover. If Qi Tian doesn't agree, he won't be able to replenish even the slightest bit of Spirit Qi and thus will never be able to revert to being a Nascent Soul Stage entity again.
