Chapter 78：Questioning (1/2)

”Eat it,” Ma Rong said as they looked at the elders standing in front of her. Her cold eyes and voice made all the elders shiver.

The majority of the elders ate it at once, while a few reluctantly followed. Suddenly, their eyes started to get lazy and their arms limped a little. Their entire body posture slumped and they have no emotions on their face.

”Now, Answer me again. Did anyone of you take away ingredients from the alchemy garden in the last 5 days?”

””” No”””” A collective answer came out of all the elders.

The elders once again all denied it. Ma Rong looked confused. There was no way someone below the saint realm could possibly lie after eating a Truth-Seeking Pill.

She dismissed the elders. After they started recovering once again, they left. Ma Rong got to thinking once more.

If it was not one of them, then it would be near impossible to catch the culprit unless they were stupid enough to make a transaction with the ingredients or the pill.

Ma Rong immediately took out her medallion to check the records, and she found someone selling a Heart-Stopping pill.

'5 hours ago? By an outer sect disciple, no less.' She checked the buying records of the disciple and found no ingredients for the pill.

”Come, we are going somewhere.” She grabbed Alex by the arm and started flying away. The two elders just stood there and watched them leave.

Soon the sect leader and Alex were in the outer sect mountain, and Alex slowly flew down to one of the cottages.

”You do the talking.” His master's voice rang inside his mind.

'Wow. She can already talk to my head? I forgot that was even possible with a spiritual sense.' He simply nodded to his master and walked up to the cottage.

Knock. Knock.

A female disciple slowly opened the door and looked at Alex confusedly.

”What do you want?” she asked in a very unfriendly tone.

”I am here on behalf of the sect to ask you a question. You sold a Heart-Stopping pill with 22% harmony today. Did you make the pill by yourself?” Alex asked the girl.

The girl was somewhere in her early 20s. As soon as she heard his words, she frowned.

”How do you know that?” She started getting a little apprehensive.

The girl started to get a little scared and answered, ”I only sold the pill, I didn't make it myself.”

'Now we're getting somewhere.'
