Zhu Yi's Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace had been set up for quite some time already. Many people entered the palace to seek knowledge and many of them who achieved something returned to their hometowns, spreading the knowledge that they had with others.
Knowledge, and some practical skills, could be learnt by everyone through various channels.
Zhu Yi was able to benefit everyone by setting up the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace. The more knowledge was spread among everyone, the more delighted he was. That's why he wasn't bothered that the external world knew about what was taught in the Knowledge Palace.
Moreover, the most advanced and sophisticated knowledge was in the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace. It was also shared with the world. Those who adept in research within the palace always came up with new things and introduced cutting-edge knowledge.
The reputation of the palace grew alongside the Celestial Sect of Wonders and influence extended very far.
