Finely chop the ingredients. Place 6 jin of refined lard from the twelfth lunar month in a cauldron along with the herbs, and simmer over low heat from morning until noon. Wait until the medicinal properties are fully extracted. Strain out the residue using fresh cloth, then filter again through cotton. Wipe the cauldron clean, refine the mixture once more, then add sulfur, realgar, cinnabar, and other ingredients. Stir thoroughly with a willow wood spatula until uniform. Allow to solidify, then store in a porcelain container.
