Processing
First, mix the red lead with the cinnabar and place the mixture in a porcelain basin. Expose it to the sun and moon for 49 days. Then, in the “Flying Immortal Pool,” heat it over alternating high and low flames for three sticks of incense. When the mixture has permeated the bamboo mat on one side, let it cool and settle before opening to inspect it; it should resemble gold leaf. Use a chicken feather to sweep off approximately 1 fen 8 li—this is the highest grade;The next grade is 1 fen 2 li; wrap it in black gold paper, place it in a small eye-medicine jar, seal the opening with yellow wax, wrap the entire jar in a bladder membrane, then place it in a large bottle, pack it tightly with cotton batting, and tie it securely with bamboo leaves and a bladder membrane. Use a long rope to lower it into a well to remove the fire toxicity,After 49 days, remove it. Grind half a fen of high-quality frankincense into a fine powder, mix it evenly with 2–3 drops of human milk to form three pills.
Instructions for Use
Swallow them with breast milk. Immediately return to your room for 21 days of quiet rest; only then may you go out and resume normal activities.
