One can only say that wealthy families are truly grand; there are hidden doors and secret chambers everywhere, with several Cave Heaven Secret Realms to boot.
But it makes sense. The Lan Pond grows countless Golden Lotuses, which are actually rare treasures that can be harvested for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

Even yin souls are barred outside this many-layered Golden Lotus Array, unable to step in.
