Strain out the residue, clarify the liquid, and simmer again. When the oil boils, add the Orpiment; stir continuously with a damp willow basket, then drip the mixture into water—if the droplets form beads that do not disperse, remove from the heat. Wait for one shichen, then add Frankincense, Myrrh, and Hair Ash, stirring until well blended. Store in a porcelain box.
