Liu Hua's Medical Compendium
This book, written by the medical scientist Liu Hua, is widely recognized as the foundation of the Xianzhou Alliance's modern medicine. Liu Hua was a Vidyadhara from the Xianzhou Fanghu. He was a Pearlkeeper that supported the Fanghu high elder for the first three hundred years of his life, and became the head healer that closely served the Fanghu high elder for the last four hundred.

Through his long years of clinical practice and research, Liu Hua had acutely realized the Xianzhou medical science's problem at that time. The Xianzhou's tradition of preserving the past meant significant amounts of medical practice relied on experience instead of science. For the Xianzhou natives of the time, their millennia of medical experience was far more reliable than scientific theories written on paper.

Liu Hua therefore authored this Liu Hua's Medical Compendium in the hopes of re-organizing and better explaining the principles of Xianzhou medical science using more scientific methods of inquiry.

The book did not gain much attention at the time of its publication. It was not until ninety-three years after Liu Hua's hatching rebirth that a group of young Alchemy Commission members on the Luofu formed an innovative organization in the Cold Springs delve, later named “Cold Springs Sect” by posterity. The Cold Springs Sect re-discovered how Liu Hua's Medical Compendium had a vision before its time and offered critical value to the field of medicine, and regarded the book the standard for medicine.

Later, the Cold Spring Sect's innovative thoughts were gradually acknowledged by the various groups in the Alliance, and Liu Hua's Medical Compendium also finally gained the importance it deserves.

Key Tenets of Long-Life
As the earliest contact point of the Ambrosial Arbor, the healers of the Luofu's Alchemy Commission have a deeper understanding of the core principles, biology, anatomy, and the process of conversion of long-life species than healers on the other Xianzhou ships do.

Everyone knows the author of Key Tenets of Long-Life is the famous healer Changsang from the Theophany Era. Some medical historians share the belief that this book was based on Changsang's writings, and only emerged in its current form after repeated modifications and edits by those who came later. For example, many records about the civilizations of long-life species were only discovered after the Theophany Era.

Key Tenets of Long-Life lists the physiological characteristics of twenty-six long-life species, all of which are further supported by anatomical and genetic evidence. In particular, the study of the Xianzhou natives' physiology has a profound impact on the establishment of the relevant regulations in the Ten-Lords Commission.

Achievements in Alchemy
This book, compiled by the Zhuming Alchemy Commission, is a comprehensive summary of alchemical prescriptions and their smelting and refinement techniques. It is also an alchemy textbook used in the academy.

The crux of alchemy lies in synthesis and transformation. During the period before the Xianzhou set sail, alchemy was already divided into the medical and artifex branches, and the art was considered the most important cultural inheritance retained from the Primeval Imperium. In the era of the Ambrosial Arbor, medical alchemy progressed even further by leaps and bounds, illustrating the wonders of life across all its changes.

Following the Flaming Catastrophe War, many alchemical prescriptions in the Achievements in Alchemy were destroyed because of the Ambrosial Arbor and could never be restored. Nevertheless, a vast number of remedies recorded in the book can still be applied. For example, the revitalization pellet that enhances the self-healing capabilities of long-life species and the gallantry infusion that strengthens muscles and increases muscle power are military prescriptions still used even to this day.

Compendium of Remedies
This book is compiled by Dan Shu, the chief alchemist of the Luofu Alchemy Commissiono. Dan Shu's team extensively researched almost all the materia medica from the Theophany Era to the present, carefully selecting and summarizing a total of 39,500 medicinal prescriptions. About 3,726 of them were invented by Dan Shu and her team through medical practice.

The Compendium of Remedies is widely recognized as the pinnacle of pharmacological achievements in Xianzhou's 8,000-year history. The book categorizes all the prescriptions into 28 sections based no the ailments they treat. Among them, the volumes of the Vasculature Section, the Orthopedic Section, and the Transfiguration Section are the most complete and detailed. The Gourd-Born Section and the Hatching-Born Section encompass the medical techniques of the foxians and Vidyadhara. The Mara Section is the most impressive, as it compiles the latest research findings on the study of mara-struck conditions over the past few centuries. After this book was published, it immediately became a must-have guidebook for every alchemist of the Alchemy Commission. It's also designated as the official textbook for all related disciplines in the academy.

Due to various reasons, the Alchemy Commission has irrevocably gone downhill. Against the historical backdrop of the Alchemy Commission, the birth of the Compendium of Remedies is undoubtedly a boost of confidence that encourages the Alchemy Commission to start exploring the value and meaning of its existence in modern society again.
