...and the locations being translated from chinese to korean to english just makes it even more confusing (not the translator's fault).
I just realized that the mountain range they were staying in seems to be the wudang mountains in central-southern china, not somewhere in korea like I originally thought because of the twice-localized location names. but it still wouldn't make sense why they keep mentioning provinces like xinjiang and liaoning that take a full month at minimum to walk/ride to like they're just a stone's throw away. there was another korean bl wuxia comic that did this (called bad friend i think?), but they gave a better sense of time and scale when they had to travel like 5,000 miles for something.
in this comic, traveling feels like they have access to high speed rail or a boeing 747 or something???
