Chapter 19 Ancient Bloodline

"Morning!"

"Good morning."

The colleagues in the lab greeted each other and started their daily research.

Jiang Xiaoqian came to Professor Zhao's office on the second floor of the basement.

It was not easy to have a good research object, so she had to communicate with the big boss to apply for the project. It would be better if she could get Professor Zhao's direct guidance.

The door of Professor Zhao's office was left ajar. Jiang Xiaoqian knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Professor Zhao said in a vigorous voice.

"Is there anything important that prompts you to see me so early? If it's about your work, don't worry. Your project team is during the coordination and you can rest for a few days first!"

Professor Zhao glanced at Jiang Xiaoqian and didn't stop his work.

"Good morning, Professor Zhao. I came to bother you not because of the project team, but because I have a private collection. I think it's very mysterious. Maybe it can be used as a research object, so I hope to apply for a project."

Jiang Xiaoqian took out a small box from her handbag, opened it, and found a piece of fragment lying inside.

Professor Zhao put on his gloves, took out a magnifying glass, and studied it carefully.

The fragment was dark gold all over. Judging from the edges of the corner, it should be a token-like fragment.

"Is the half-word left behind 'Jiang'?"

Professor Zhao said to himself.

"I also think it might be the word 'Jiang'."

Jiang Xiaoqian cut in. She had a vague guess, but she was not sure.

"Jiang...Jiang."

"Xiaoqian, the thing you brought is not suitable for research. It involves some ancient secrets, but it is meaningless to study them. At the same time, it will put you at risk, so we can't establish this project. I will arrange a new job for you in a few days."

"And you'd better not take out this fragment in front of others. Once it is recognized by someone, you will be in constant trouble and restless from now on."

"Okay, Professor Zhao. I'll keep your opinion in mind."

Although she felt a little regretful, she still had to listen to her idol's words. Normally, Professor Zhao wouldn't lie to her.

"By the way, where did you find this fragment? Go and find more another day?"

Professor Zhao put forward a suggestion euphemistically.

"Ah, Professor, it's difficult. This was found near our community. Many people are coming and going. I'm afraid the fragments have been picked up by others. It's hard to find more again."

"Well, then I won't make things difficult for you. I just feel a little pitiful. If there are a few more pieces, we don't have to make a wild guess here."

Hearing Professor Zhao's regretful words, Jiang Xiaoqian said that she could do nothing.

Jiang Xiaoqian left the office, leaving Professor Zhao pondering.

"Is this the Jiang clan which is as famous as the Zhao clan in ancient times? Are they from the Jiang clan?"

"Jiang Xiaobai, This young man is so mysterious. I think he knows a lot. Did he find the relics of the Jiang clan? Maybe they are the descendants of the Jiang clan?"

"Well, it's not the right time for you to come out."

It was a matter of great importance. Professor Zhao decided to test Jiang Xiaobai's true identity in person.

Was he the descendant of the Jiang clan or an ordinary man who had found the relics of the Jiang clan?

If it was the former, they would have to train him well. Perhaps he would make contributions to the world's recovery in the future.

If it was the latter, they would discuss and cooperate to develop the research, with the hope that the School of Archaeology could go further.

The Dongtian School of Archaeology's overall ranking had been at the bottom in the past two years, and it was about to be canceled and kicked out of the fist-class list.

How could Professor Zhao see the school be kicked off where he had spent his whole life?

Even if he had a good harvest not long ago and the research progress was smooth, Professor Zhao was not sure that the School of Archaeology would return to its peak.

Jiang Xiaobai sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed. He took a piece of source stone with each hand and clenched his hands into fists.

If a successful cultivator with accomplished spiritual practice passed by, he would find that a steady stream of life energy was continuously infiltrating into Jiang Xiaobai's body.

If he used spirit power to probe Jiang Xiaobai's body again, he would feel incredible.

At this time, Jiang Xiaobai's body was almost as strong as a diamond-like body. The density and hardness of his body were appalling.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong."

Why was he disturbed again? Jiang Xiaobai was a little annoyed.

Getting up, he used his spirit power to probe and found Professor Zhao standing outside.

Why was it this old man again?

If you were not Xiaoqian's teacher, I would never let you in.

"Good afternoon, Xiaobai!"

Professor Zhao greeted me while entering the room.

"Hello, Professor Zhao."

Jiang Xiaobai replied indifferently.

I have never been good. How can you always interrupt my cultivation at the right time?

Jiang Xiaobai didn't stop him. After all, his sister was still working for Professor Zhao.

"Xiaobai, is there anything unusual at home recently?"

Professor Zhao's opening remarks made Jiang Xiaobai stunned. Weren't you the biggest abnormality? You could always break in when I'm in cultivation.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.

"Not long ago, we found a relic from ancient times."

Professor Zhao paused and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai remained calm and looked very confused.

"Is there anything special about this ancient relic?"

"Of course, this relic comes from the Hong clan, one of the twelve ancient clans. At that time, a lot of holy beings from the ancient practice system came from these clans. They were strong warriors in this star field."

Indeed, although they were much weaker than the original Jiang Xiaobai, they were not weak in this World.

"And then? Professor Zhao, what do you want to say?"

There were no definite questions. Professor Zhao's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Jiang Xiaobai knew a lot.

"Our lab has been searching for the ancient bloodline. We hope that they can open up the relics of various clans or the secret place and provide protection for them. This world is not as peaceful as it seems. Someone is hunting them."

Hunting?

Jiang Xiaobai immediately thought of the sudden assassination last night.

Could it be that the enemies had regarded me as a descendant of ancient blood? If they saw through my identity, how could they let ordinary people assassinate me?

Test? It's impossible. In the face of my identity, if a person intercepted me halfway, he would go all out.

"Since you all think I'm a descendant of ancient blood, I'll pretend to be one for the time being. You won't believe me anyway."

"Who are those people? Why would they chase after the ancient bloodline?" Jiang Xiaobai asked, pretending to be enthusiastic.

"It's a long story. You should know that there are three kinds of power in the world nowadays. One is the immortal power left behind from ancient times, one is the martial arts power that was born in this continent thousands of years ago, and the other is the godly power, an uninvited evil guest."

"Because of the great change in the world and the lack of spiritual sense, both the immortal and godly power has fallen into a serious decline, so the local martial arts power can be barely on par with them."

"But thirty years ago, all kinds of secret places began to appear on a large scale. I always feel that the balance will be soon lost."
