Use half a jin of fire to maintain the heat for 3 full days; then use one jin of fire to burn for 17 days. Allow it to cool before removing it, and place it in an earthen pit to remove the fire toxicity. After 3 days, grind it finely and form it into pills the size of a sesame seed using date pulp.
