The entire day of October 22 passed in an oppressive silence.
That morning, Li Wei called Liang Qiushi and asked about Gu Jinzhi's condition.
Liang Qiushi's voice on the other end was brimming with barely restrained joy.
"Jin Zhi is doing much better!"
"The doctor said that most of his bodily functions have already recovered."
"Your grandfather also said that the reconstruction of his foundation is nearly complete."
Li Wei felt considerably more at ease as she listened.
Her mood, which had been weighed down by issuing the notice, eased slightly.
"When will he wake up?"
"It's hard to say." Liang Qiushi paused. "He'll probably need another five days or so to recover completely."
"But when he'll regain consciousness, we can only leave that up to him."
"Any improvement is already wonderful news."
Li Wei was delighted, but then suddenly remembered something and could not help asking,
"Mom, then... what level is Old Gu's foundation at now?"
When she had discussed the Nirvana Creation Pill with Yun Xi, Li Wei had once asked why Yun Xi did not keep such a wonderful thing for herself.
Yun Xi's answer had been frank.
She said that the miraculous thing about the pill was that it could raise the user's foundation to the theoretical limit their talent could reach.
It did not create a god out of thin air. It excavated potential.
Yun Xi's unspoken meaning had been obvious: her own peak Minor Perfection was probably her limit.
After all, backed by a behemoth like the Yun Family and as the Yun Princess, the one thing she had never lacked was resources.
She had spent so much, yet was still a weakling. That was tragic enough.
Therefore, Li Wei was especially curious about exactly where Old Gu's talent ceiling lay.
