Within the Valley of the Medicine Masters were special prison cells.
When the elders and disciples of the Valley would make mistakes, they would all be detained in a cell to reflect on their actions behind locked doors and only be released after a certain period of time.

Lu Yuanshan, the head of the Lu household, one of the elite grand families of the Chu royal city in the Western Chu Ridge of Yunyang, and who was rich as could be just a year ago, now sat like a common beggar in the corner of his cell, his hair completely disheveled.
