Zhang Yan spent a night on Cangzhu Peak, thoroughly inspecting the inside and outside of the cave mansion, and the situation here was clear to him.
The Han Yuan Cave Mansion covers about thirty acres, with a large hall situated on mid-mountain for gathering disciples to teach and impart knowledge. There are more than one hundred other rooms, yet most have not been swept or repaired, nor are they protected by any prohibition, making them mostly dilapidated, with cobwebs covered in dust. This not only fails to show the appearance of a cultivation sect but instead reveals a sense of decline.
This is indeed not the fault of Chu Muran; when Shen Baishuang was here, he didn't put much thought into it. After he left, the mountain gate lost its greatest support pillar, and maintaining it until now has been difficult; there's no mind to manage those scattered deserted residences.
