Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life
Chapter 780 - 773: Under the Immortal Gate
In ancient times, it was busy for nearly two hours, but only half an hour passed on this side of the modern world.
Similarly, it took half an hour on this side in the modern world to purchase the anti-king cobra venom serum. After acquiring it and returning to ancient times, only a few minutes had passed there.
King cobra venom, being copious and mixed, acts particularly fast. If the anti-snake venom serum is not used within half an hour, even if cured, there will be many residual effects, and severe cases can be fatal.
Fortunately, the three children were bitten by the king cobra in the village. As soon as they were struck, adults noticed it and quickly killed the snake.
Furthermore, the village had a witch doctor who had also escaped there from Huaxia to avoid war.
Without much delay, the three injured children were treated with the herbal remedy Chonglou to neutralize the snake venom.
With Lin Wanwan promptly administering detoxification pills and acupuncture, the situation was not too dire.
Amidst the watchful eyes, Lin Wanwan walked out again from the Space-Time Gate, looking around to see everyone kneeling, truly regarding her as a fairy.
Well, it’s good to be a fairy who descended to the mortal world, allowing for convenient actions.
In such a small place, there are no warlords who can defy the heavens, just a bunch of insignificant bandits.
If there were any warlord-type figures, they would have established a nation long ago, and history would not be a blank page.
Therefore, Lin Wanwan feels she can establish a sacrificial spirit worship here and unite the martial world.
Taking advantage of this time, she should first conquer the small village to establish the first step on her overseas path, and then proceed gradually.
These thoughts only lasted a moment before Lin Wanwan, holding the cooler containing the anti-snake venom serum, walked toward the mats where the three children lay amidst the eyes of worship.
Since Lin Wanwan studied traditional Chinese medicine and was skilled in acupuncture, she opted for intramuscular injections of the anti-snake venom serum instead of intravenous infusion.
Using three disposable syringes, she administered the anti-snake venom serum to the three children, and then sat nearby, checking their pulses to monitor their condition.
Local debridement and detoxification had already been done by Lin Wanwan earlier, and the children still had needles inserted in them.
If the bitten were adults, Lin Wanwan would have used stronger acupuncture. But because they were children, she employed a more conservative acupuncture technique, leading to prolonged needle retention.
After the snake venom serum injection, following Western medical practices, it would require intravenous antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent secondary infections.
However, as a practitioner of acupuncture skill proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, Lin Wanwan had inserted the needles in time. After another quarter-hour of needle retention, they were nearly cured.
"It’s all right now, the venom has been almost neutralized, and there will be no residual effects." Lin Wanwan withdrew her hand and said to the village leader kneeling by her side, "Only need to change the herbal treatment for the children one or two more times, and they will fully recover. You can rest assured."
"Thank you, Fairy, for saving our lives! We will repay the kindness in the next life as cattle and horses."
"No need to thank me, and no need to wait for the next life. You can repay me now. Would you like to become my subjects? If so, I will be your sacrificial spirit and will protect you all."
Lin Wanwan might never visit Lion City again, and owed favors would become invalid over time, so she plainly stated her intentions.
The village leader and the key figures among the onlookers exchanged glances and silently agreed – and that was "yes!"
They pledged their allegiance directly, "We are willing to serve the Fairy as our sacrificial spirit and be loyal for life."
They witnessed a living person disappear into the Light Gate right before their eyes.
When reappearing, Lin Wanwan held an oddly textured small box in her hand.
Such shock is unimaginable to those who haven’t experienced it. The village leader felt his worldview was deeply shaken—there really is a Heavenly Court, and real divine beings!
They used to believe that these were just stories from myths and legends, but now it was unfolding before their eyes.
Since that’s the case, why not cling to her for support! Praying to gods and Buddha is for a peaceful life, right?
Now there’s a real deity before their eyes—why worship clay statues?
Lin Wanwan was very satisfied. As expected, with enough courage, the Space-Time Gate is her tool for rallying troops, or rather for gaining followers.
"From now on, you are my subjects." Lin Wanwan said calmly, "I am Lin, a disciple under the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, and also the ancestral god of the Lin clan. My final lesson before becoming a master is to navigate the mortal world.
Over twenty years ago, a version of myself reincarnated, descending upon the territory of the Great Tang.
Since you are my subjects, you are also subjects of my incarnation. I will reveal myself in her dreams, with this as proof of identity. If she gives orders, you are to follow them."
After speaking, Lin Wanwan took out a brand new, unused orange beauty sponge from her pocket.
"This is the token. Anyone holding an identical token is my incarnation."
"Understood!"
The elderly village leader respectfully raised the strange orange token high over his head, accepting it from Lin Wanwan.
It felt light and fluffy in his hand, like a cloud in the sky.
Could it be that this object is made from a fairy cloud?
It must be!
The clan leader cautiously cradled the beauty sponge, fully convinced of Lin Wanwan’s divine identity.
Even 1,400 years ago, when superstitions were rampant, Lin Wanwan could have deceived many believers using the Space-Time Gate.
Like those qigong masters of old, and the "technological" masters who transformed water into oil, among others.
These people who fled overseas, though appearing down on their luck now, were once local gentry.
If it weren’t for encountering pirates at sea, losing two ships carrying supplies, leading to insufficient resources to rebuild a new home upon landing, and engaging in several turf wars at first, they wouldn’t have fallen to this.
The king cobra appearing in the village this time was not merely an accident.
Typically, king cobras reside in forests.
In an era where mountain forests weren’t deeply developed, let alone Lion City, even the Great Tang was full of untamed mountains and forests, ideal for wildlife.
That means the farmland where the farmers toil and the king cobra’s living area should have no overlap.
Yet the three Han children encountered a highly aggressive king cobra near their village fields and were bitten.
It would be suspicious if no one was behind this!
The king cobra’s trait is that aggressive movements provoke it; however, slow movements generally do not trigger it.
Snake catchers use this behavior to capture them for money, and among the rival tribes against the Han village, many skilled snake catchers and insect catchers exist.
