At the front gate of the Cherry blossom sect
Kei had packed some crepes made by Akira into his spacial bag
"So, I guess you will head west from here" said Akira
Kei confirmed Akira's words
"Yes, I will most likely fly over China, the journey won't be short, but thankfully I can fly, it'll take a day at most"
"HAHAHA! If you see the mount hua sect tell them that we are doing well here! Hah, I wonder if master Ming Lian is okay, Keisuke please wait, I'll write up a letter, give it to my master if you see him please"
"Alright John, I guess I will have to make a stop along the way to Greece" a slight smile appeared on Kei's face
Akira's eyes widened and he spoke out
"This might be an opportunity Kei, maybe the main sect will reward you for bringing them the message, be sure to reap all the benefits you can."
Kei's face bacame a face of realisation
'True! This isn't a branch sect we are talking about, it's the main sect, the original mount hua sect! Forget about 1000 year old bamboo... I might be able to aquire 10,000 year old lightning bamboo! Or something to promote my cultivation!'
"My first stop will be mount hua it seems" Kei said with a smile
John then came back with a sealed letter
"Here is the letter, and here I wrote how to find the sect on this paper, have a safe trip Keisuke"
Kei grabbed the letter and the paper and turned his back on Akira and John
"I guess this is goodbye"
Kei turns his head a little towards them and speaks
"I'll be back"
And flies off at his highest speed leaving Akiras' and Johns' sight as fast as he can
Akira grits his teeth and says
"That fuc-, he always uses references"

After Akira flew some distance in order to look kind of cool, he finally takes out his flying sword from his space pouch and rides it
While cultivators don't need flying swords to fly, the swords do make them go much faster
"hmm, still not as fast as a jet... I need to train more"
The road ahead was long, so Kei figured out how to not waste this time
"I Guess I'll cultivate as I fly over to China"

Some hours later right above China
Keisuke opens his eyes after the long flight
"I'm here, I guess I should take a look at the paper John gave me"
Kei opens the paper and reads it
'Go to Mount Hua'
"Obviously."
Kei thought to himself that John is similar to Akira
"Thankfully I've been to China before, mount Hua is near the Shaanxi Province, but if I remember correctly the mountain didn't look like it could support a great sect... I'll just go and see"
Kei was now venturing through China on his flying sword, China had protected a lot more of its cities than other countries, this is to be expected of the country of cultivators.
While many cities were damaged beyond recognition and reclaimed by the wilderness as well as stray monsters from the gates that were not cleared in time, China had it better thanks to their ample amount of cultivators
Sadly, now he was flying over a ruined city, monsters roamed such places but thankfully most of the strong ones were already eradicated by cultivators. As cultivators defeated monsters, occasionally the monsters had on them magic books, of which people aspiring to become magicians bought and studied at a high price, currently the strongest magician is in Japan and he also happens to be Kei's "disciple", the news guy
Kei likes to study such books as well so he is quite knowledgeable about magic, one of the books he read was the book about golem creation
As Kei flew towards Mount Hua he thought to himself
'Maybe I should try to incorporate golem creation to cultivation, I've been meaning to do that for years...'
After a while Kei reached a safe city and in the distance Mount Hua could be seen
Mount Hua had changed from what he remembered
Rather than a small mountain that had a small building on top it now was a much fiercer Mountain and on top it held a Large looking sect
Kei decided to take a detour before heading to the Mount Hua sect
Kei had eaten all the crepes Akira had made for him on the way here, so he wanted to grab something to eat and something for the road when he is done with the Mount Hua business and starts heading to Greece
Kei spotted a dumpling shop and flew down, he had heard a lot about Chinese dumplings and how tasty they were
Kei put his flying sword in his spacial bag and walked over to the Dumpling shop
But as he approached he realised something vital as his face started filling with horror
'I DON'T KNOW CHINESE!' Kei didn't know Chinese
Kei steeled his heart and went up to the salesperson
"N-nihao..?"
The shop keeper unimpressed announced with perfect english
"Kid most people have learnt English to communicate with eachother... from your looks maybe you are Japanese or Korean, whatever the case, you surely know English right?"
(Of course Kei as he lived in Japan his primary language was Japanese, but as the shop keep said many had now learnt English, and so had Kei, of course not perfect but enough to communicate)
Kei then embarrassed started speaking to the shop keep
" Oh, then I'd like 10 dumplings please, to go"
The shop keeper sighed and muttered something about kids these days
Keisuke paid for the dumplings with a few low tier mana stones and he put 9 dumplings into his spacial bad as he started gnawing on one
~munch~
Tears stared flowing
"W-what? Why are tears running on my face? Why is this dumpling so good? This can't be mortal food."
Kei finished eating his dumpling, wiped his tears and then flew to the sect on top of Mount Hua
As he was getting close, a sign was visible at the front of the grand sect
[Mount Hua sect]
As he got close a few cultivators flew towards him
"Who are you!"
"What business do you have with the Mount Hua sect!?"
"..." one just observed
These cultivators dawned cultivator robes of white with pink lining and had the mark of pink petals forming a circle on the chest area
They were disciples of the mount hua sect
Kei didn't know how else to say that his friend's dad wanted him to send the Mount Hua sect a letter, so he just said that
"My friend's father, John and the Sect master of the Cherry blossom sect has given me the task of taking a letter he wrote to the sect leader of the Mount Hua sect, Ming Lian"
And Kei took out the letter, it was sealed by John's Qi so it had his mark
The 3 disceples were silent with only one question in their mind 'John!?'
Kei put his hands together as if he were about to bow like a cultivator (one hand open palm and the other fist) and then spoke
"I Request an audience with the sect leader"
