When the mixture is charred and cooked through, strain through cotton to remove the dregs. Use a clean pot,add finely ground yellow丹 to a fine gauze bag and stir-fry until it turns purple; immediately pour in the prepared herbal decoction, stirring continuously with a willow whisk. When the mixture turns purple, the oil’s potency is exhausted; if a drop falls into water and forms a bead, and if it does not stain your hands when examined, remove from heat and store in a porcelain box.
