Small Knife examined the Puppet Dao worth 100,000 contributions.
He marveled that it was worth every penny; learning it not only allowed for manufacturing mechanical puppets according to blueprints but also mastering the principles for independent research.
No wonder it's an Immortal Sect that holds the inheritance of Immortals.
However, the Five Elements Sword Sect's knowledge of Puppet Dao cultivation techniques was not comprehensive; they had blueprints for puppets from Purple Mansion to Golden Core, even to the Great Success Stage, but the road beyond was said to be increasingly narrow, lacking detailed principles.

Thus, the sect offers substantial contributions for innovation and research, and even profit sharing.
