Processing

Grind the above ingredients into an extremely fine powder, mix thoroughly, place in a porcelain jar, seal the opening with sand and clay, and boil in a double boiler for three incense sticks’ worth of time. Remove, leave the opening exposed overnight, knead into a single lump, and place it in a gold box; if gold is unavailable, use silver instead. The lump should weigh 16 liang.seal the opening with salt-mixed clay, then wrap it again with paper-reinforced clay to form a spherical ball. Dry it in the sun. Take an iron cauldron, place the ball in the center, secure it tightly with an iron wire tied in a cross, and suspend it inside the cauldron. Melt black lead and pour it into the cauldron until it is full. Allow it to cool and solidify. Then take another jar, fill it halfway with mulberry wood ash, place the cauldron inside, and bury half of it in the ash. Light charcoal ??. Replace the charcoal once every two hours (at the Chen and Xu hours). The charcoal is made by grinding charcoal dust into a fine powder, mixing it with the flesh of cooked red dates, and pounding the mixture into a pill weighing 1 liang 6 qian and measuring 5 cun in length.then use one bowl of water to drip into the crucible from time to time, using the sound as a guide. If a sound is heard and the water dries up immediately, move the fire slightly farther away—about the length of a finger; if no sound is heard and the water does not dry up, move the fire slightly closer—about the length of a finger. After 35 days of processing according to this method, break open the lead, pour the contents into a box on the ground, and let it cool and solidify. Open the box; the medicine will be purplish-black with a fragrant aroma. It must be stored in a porcelain jar,seal the opening with wax to prevent air from escaping.
