Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2864: Chapter 2864: Promise To Give Great-Grandpa Dian The Truth Elixir

Great-Grandpa Dian refused to sit back and allow such a dangerous villain to achieve greater power. If Jun Xie emerged from seclusion at a higher realm, the threat to the entire cultivation community would be catastrophic.

“We should not linger at this location for much longer. We need to fall back and regroup.” Long Hui noted, bringing their focus back to the immediate task. “I managed to pull the physical features of the other four leaders from his memories. I will sketch their faces and pass the drawings to you later. If your group encounters any of them, try to secure them alive to extract Jun Xie’s whereabouts.”

Great-Grandpa Dian fell silent for a moment, a rare look of hesitation crossing his face. He let out a dry cough.

He was not like Long Hui. He could not just execute a Soul Search Method with effortless Qi control. Even with his vast reserves of power, he lacked the supreme finesse required to dive into an enemy’s sea of consciousness without destroying their mind or triggering a backlash.

He was deeply concerned that those dark leaders would stubbornly refuse to speak under standard interrogation, no matter how harshly they were questioned. Worse still, fanatical dark cultivators often chose to shatter their own meridians to commit suicide rather than let vital secrets spill.

Great-Grandpa Dian felt a heavy headache coming on at the thought. If they wanted to neutralise Jun Xie before he finished his closed-door breakthrough, time was of the essence. Yet, without a concrete location, taking their next step would be exceptionally difficult. And if the remaining four leaders proved to be as stubborn as Wong Fu Siang, extracting the truth through traditional means was going to be a far more painful ordeal than he had originally anticipated.

“Yu Qi, Long Hui… to be completely honest, I don’t think I can execute the Soul Search Method anywhere near as flawlessly as Long Hui just did. My control over my Qi simply is not as microscopic as his. Because of that, extracting information from any remaining evil cultivators might prove exceptionally difficult for us, even if we manage to capture them alive,” Great-Grandpa Dian admitted, finally voicing his internal concerns with straightforward honesty.

He had been pondering the issue for quite some time. While he maintained absolute confidence in his own combat prowess, he was well aware of his personal limitations. Defeating those dark cultivators in a duel was second nature to him, but forcibly wringing secrets directly from their souls without destroying their minds was an entirely different beast. If those fanatics refused to cooperate under standard interrogation, he might end up empty-handed.

Long Hui and Yu Qi exchanged a subtle glance. Sharing an unspoken understanding, the couple offered each other a gentle nod.

“Great-Grandpa, I actually have a foolproof solution for that.” Yu Qi stated smoothly.

“Really? What kind of solution?” Great-Grandpa Dian asked, his curiosity instantly piqued.

Yu Qi reached into her coat pocket and retrieved a small object to show the group. It was a clear glass bottle packed with neatly stacked, glossy liquid. There was a surprisingly generous supply stored inside the single container.

The entire group’s attention immediately shifted toward the bottle in her hand.

“What are those?” Dian Zin Fang asked, leaning in to inspect them.

“Truth elixir.” Yu Qi answered simply.

“Wait a second… Are those actual Truth Elixir? The legendary kind that forces whoever ingests them to speak absolute truth?” Dian Ren Qi blurted out in utter astonishment.

He had read about truth elixir in ancient texts, but he had never envisioned seeing a whole bottle of them in the flesh. Such remedies were priceless assets when interrogating uncooperative captives. If these elixirs were half as potent as the rumours claimed, they would spare the team an immense amount of trouble down the road.

“Mhm, that’s exactly what they are.” Yu Qi confirmed with a nod.

“You have such a massive batch… Did you concoct them all yourself?” Great-Grandpa Dian inquired, staring at the bottle with fascination.

“Yes. I just concocted a few batches whenever I had some free time.” Yu Qi remarked casually.

To her, it was hardly a feat worth bragging about. Given her mastery over alchemy and pill-refining, brewing a fresh stash of truth elixirs during her downtime was no more difficult than brewing a pot of tea.

The rest of the family, however, certainly did not view it with such casual detachment.

Even Great-Grandpa Dian could not help but look at her with a deeply complex expression. Yu Qi was already a world-class physician and a powerhouse cultivator. Now, she was offhandedly mentioning that she refined rare, high-grade truth elixir as a casual hobby.

It seemed that no matter how well they thought they knew this extraordinary young woman, she always had another mind-blowing secret waiting up her sleeve.

“Are you completely certain these elixirs will take effect on evil cultivators?” Dian Zin Fang questioned carefully. He wanted to verify their efficacy before they built their entire interrogation strategy around them.

“Without a doubt.” Yu Qi answered with absolute certainty.

She had zero reservations regarding the elixirs’ potency against dark energy. After all, she had personally tested one on an evil cultivator during a previous confrontation. The results had been overwhelmingly satisfactory, leaving no reason to question their reliability now.

“Wonderful… That is truly wonderful!” Great-Grandpa Dian muttered, his stoic face visibly brightening.

With a plentiful supply of truth elixirs on hand, they no longer needed to worry about their inability to perform the hazardous Soul Search Method. As long as they successfully subdued their targets alive, a single elixir would grant them access to every secret locked in the enemy’s head.
