The answer is: Virtue consists in speaking the truth. Here the accurate preposition is used “in”.
'Consist of' is usually used with more noticeable objects while 'consist in' has an abstract quality to it.
The virtue is an abstract attribute and that is why with consist in will be used with better appropriateness.
Consists in means to have as its essence, which is applicable in this sentence.
