Qu Long Hu Shui Fa (Method for Obtaining Dragon and Tiger Water): Dragon belongs to Water, Tiger belongs to Metal, referring to virgin boys and girls. When obtaining, carefully select five types to avoid. For males: Sheng (born/immature), Dai (mature/coarse), Ban (half/defective), Bian (changed/smelly), Du (polluted/diseased). "Sheng": external genitals do not erect; "Dai": voice is masculine, skin is coarse; "Bian": has fishy odor or body odor; "Ban": yellowish, obese, prone to illness; "Du": suffers from scabies, leprosy, sores, and ulcers. For females: Luo (net/bone), Wen (pattern/scent), Fu (service/virgin), Jiao (intercourse/coarse), Mai (pulse/diseased). "Luo": transverse bone above the vaginal opening; "Wen": body odor like musk; "Fu": true virgin (intact hymen); "Jiao": masculine voice, coarse hair, rough skin without luster; "Mai": suffering from sores, ulcers, or physical disabilities. The vessels (subjects) must be chosen with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, full moon face shape, equal three divisions, red lips and white teeth, black hair, clear voice, plump and delicate skin, aged thirteen to sixteen years old, and not yet deflowered. Feed them millet, rice, beans, red dates, pork, crucian carp, etc. Avoid garlic, onions, leeks, shallots, five pungent vegetables, three abominations, dirty sweat, and two waters. Avoid noise, dancing, and hand-waving to prevent dissipating essence. Before collection, regulate for one hundred days, from October to March. Store in porcelain jars in a secluded place, covered. Accumulate two to three shi, await refining.

Yin Lian Long Hu Shi (Yin-Refined Dragon and Tiger Stone): Place the accumulated Dragon and Tiger water in three to four or five to six porcelain jars, located in a quiet, secluded place with drainage. Fill each jar with five to six parts Dragon and Tiger water, add five parts well water, then add two taels each of Bai fan (Alumen) and Bai zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala rhizome), and two taels each of Song ye (Pine needle) and Bai ye (Cypress leaf). Take three to four stems of Yang liu gen (Willow root), tie them together, stir clockwise more than a thousand times, cover, and do not move. Observe until the water clears, remove the lid, drain the clear water, refill with well water, filter through silk to remove dregs, stir two or three hundred turns, cover, and let clarify. Drain clear water again, add well water, stir, drain, and filter again. Repeat this ten-plus times until the water smells fragrant. Drain completely. Use three or four rice sieves lined with white cotton paper. Put the turbid Dragon and Tiger stone into the sieve. When dry, move to sunlight. Score into domino-like patterns with a bamboo knife and dry. When white as powder, it is Yin-Refined Dragon and Tiger Stone. Store in porcelain boxes for medicinal use. This medicine tonifies the Heart, generates essence, and is the supreme drug for nourishing blood.

Yang Lian Long Hu Shi (Yang-Refined Dragon and Tiger Stone): Choose an open-air space, build two stoves facing west from east. Install two large pots, one with a diameter of 3 chi 2 cun and another 2 chi 4 cun. Place four jars near the pots. First accumulate two or three jars of Dragon and Tiger water, then clean the pot rust. Add five pails of water to the large pot, simmer slowly until foam appears. Filter off dregs with a cover, skim off oil, and continue simmering until no more foam appears. Transfer to the small pot and simmer gently. Add two or three pails of water to the large pot again, repeat foaming and transferring. Continue adding and transferring gradually until finished. Stop heating the large pot. Simmer the small pot slowly, stirring constantly with a shovel. When water dries into paste, cover the pot mouth with a small basin, seal tightly with mud around the edges, leaving only one hole for steam. When steam ceases and golden star green gas flies out of the hole, quickly seal the hole with mud. Place a wet cloth on the bottom of the jar, not too wet, just moisten. Burn with small fire until the purple color of the pot bottom fades and fire energy dissipates. Cool until the next day. Remove mud from the top, uncover. The mercury spirit medicine risen to the jar, in red, black, and white colors, collect separately for later use. Scrape up the black paste from the bottom of the pot to make Huang Ya (Yellow Sprout). Place in a small pot supported by bricks, burn with high fire. When black smoke ceases and the pot glows red, extinguish fire and cool. Add well water or dew water appropriately. Boil. Place a clean jar indoors, put a bamboo sieve inside lined with cotton paper. Filter clear liquid into the jar sieve, discard black dregs. If the filtered water is clear and blue-green, pour into a porcelain basin and boil to precipitate clean stone. If slightly yellow, boil dry in the small pot again, cool, add water, boil, and filter again into the jar. Continue until the filtered water is as clear and blue-green as well water. Support the porcelain basin with bricks, slowly add charcoal fire to boil the filtered water. Stir constantly with a bamboo shovel until dried and slightly damp. Pour onto paper, move to sunlight to dry. When white as snow, it is Yang-Refined Dragon and Tiger Stone.

Qu Hong Qian Fa (Method for Obtaining Red Lead): Select a beautiful vessel aged thirteen or fourteen. Carefully avoid the five defective types. The five types are: Luo, Wen, Fu, Jiao, Mai. "Luo": large transverse bone above the vaginal opening, inconvenient for collection, type one; "Wen": body odor turns yellow, menstrual blood is fishy, unsuitable for preparation, type two; "Fu": true virgin without menstruation, type three; "Jiao": masculine voice, rough skin, unclear Qi and blood, type four; "Mai": prone to sores and ulcers, menstrual blood contains toxins, type five. Having any of these five types means it is not a wonderful elixir for tonification. Must choose a good vessel with clear eyebrows, bright eyes, white teeth, red lips, black hair, shiny face, delicate skin, neither thin nor fat, equal three divisions. Calculate approximately 5,048 days from her birth date. Observe if her cheeks are like peach blossom red, forehead shines, body feels hot, pants heavily, waist and knees ache, feels tired and groans. This indicates menstruation is about to descend. Prepare silk mallets for washing, or use sheep bladder as bellows, or silver/gold crescent-shaped vessels. Wait for her flowers to bloom (menstruation), attach to the vulva, have her sit flat on a chair, not leaning. If red flow appears, remove and replace with another. Wipe excess with silk, change and collect in porcelain basin. When menstruation ends, calculate another 5,048 days. Recently some start at thirteen and end at sixteen or seventeen. Why? Due to different concentrations of paternal essence and maternal blood received, or due to breastfeeding and diet causing Qi and blood imbalance, making timing hard to predict. Only by observing her movements and checking her appearance can you determine the time. If the year and month match the period, it is the true first menstruation, a supreme treasure, actually a top-grade medicine for extending life. If periods vary, treat as first lead initial arrival, gold lead second time, red lead third time. Thereafter, all belong to post-natal red lead. Can only be used to prepare compound medicines, not suitable for single consumption. Having clarified the collection method, await the refining method. Three fishy odors and five musky turbid gases must be carefully refined to become supreme medicine.

Zhi Hong Qian Fa (Method for Refining Red Lead): First, boil one jin of Wu mei (Dark plum) in one bucket of water, remove pits, and cool. If Red Lead is obtained, whether in vessels or silk, wash it in the plum water bucket. When using plum water, check the amount of Red Lead. One unit uses three bowls of plum water, adjust more or less as needed, do not exceed or fall short. Add well water or river water to the plum-washed lead to fill a large porcelain basin. Stir dozens of times with a wooden stick, cover, and do not move. When water clears, gently drain the clear water. Add water to the settled lead, beat, stir, and settle again. Repeat seven or nine times. When the count is complete, drain all water, leaving only one bowl or half bowl of red slurry. Take clean ash in a basin, make a hole in the middle. Line with soft silk paper. Pour lead slurry onto the paper. Shade to dry moisture. Then take out and dry in sunlight. This is the method to subdue fishy/musky odors and filth, making it suitable for medicinal compounding. It specifically assists blood and nourishes spirit, with great merit. Store for use.

Zhi Jin Ru Fen Fa (Method for Preparing Golden Milk Powder): Choose a beautiful vessel. First observe infants who are fat, white, and energetic; this indicates abundant Qi and blood, and milk is usable. Must be first-born, aged sixteen to twenty-one years old, to extract. Past this age, blood is weak and unusable. Extract one bowl or half bowl. Mix evenly with dew water, stir one hundred times. Leave overnight. The milk will naturally separate. Drain water. Put milk into a porcelain basin, dry in sun, grind into fine powder. Collect gradually, accumulate half a jin and four taels, await compounding with Red Lead into pills.

Grind all into fine powder. Crack one egg, remove yolk and white, line with paper, place medicine inside, seal tightly with paper paste. Place among other eggs for a hen to brood for 3x7=21 days. Take out, mix with milk to form pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take three pills each time, at dawn (Wu geng), taken down with human milk. Slight sweating may occur, avoid wind.

The medicine transfers to the opposite side. Cool down. Open to see similarity to gold foil. Sweep down about 1 fen 8 li with chicken feather for top grade; next 1 fen 2 li wrap in black gold paper, put in small eye medicine jar, seal with yellow wax, wrap entirely in sheep bladder, place in large bottle, stuff tightly with cotton, tie tightly with bamboo leaf sheep bladder, lower into well with long rope to remove fire toxicity. Take out after 49 days. Choose auspicious day, place medicine on table facing south, offer incense and paper facing south. Grind 0.5 fen of good frankincense into fine powder. Mix holy medicine evenly with 2-3 drops of human milk to form three pills. The taker kneels facing south to heaven, prays, puts medicine in mouth, takes down with human milk.

Peng Zu Xiao Jie Ming Xun Qi Mi Fang (Peng Zu's Secret Recipe for Small Life-Extending Umbilical Moxibustion): Humans inherit spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth, generated relying on essence and blood. Yin and Yang intertwine, embryo begins to condense, like Taiji before separation, similar to chaos before division. In males, left Kidney develops first, external essence wraps blood, Yin resides within; in females, right Kidney develops first, external blood wraps essence, Yang resides within. Kidney generates Spleen, Spleen generates Liver, Liver generates Lung, Lung generates Heart. Internally, four gates are closed, nine orifices blocked, only the umbilicus connects with maternal Qi. Mother breathes, infant breathes; mother inhales, infant inhales. After ten months, fetus is set, hundred spirits prepared, separates from mother. Cutting umbilical cord falls to ground, fearing umbilical orifice not closing harms infant's True Qi, immediately use moxa fire fumigation to externally secure umbilical stump firmly, internally preserve True Qi without leakage. Growing into adult, four gates open, nine orifices activate. Influenced by seven emotions and six desires, stimulated by five flavors and five tones, True Yuan is lost, True Qi collapses. In youth, Qi and blood decline, spirit weakens, gradually feeling illness. Raw/cold or rich flavors damage Six Fu organs, joy/anger/sorrow/happiness injure Five Zang organs, causing Heart-Kidney non-interaction, Yin-Yang imbalance, five labors and seven injuries, progressively affecting body, seven masses and eight growths attaching successively, contracting illness for long time, losing life, truly lamentable! Like plants and trees, all born from Heaven and Earth. Strong roots, lush branches; weak trunk, decaying wood. If watered and earthed, roots moisten and regenerate. Humans reach middle age, Qi and blood gradually decline, diseases easily arise. Knowing only to treat illness, not knowing how to strengthen roots and solidify foundation. Living in dust world, humans cannot revive like plants. When humans give birth, umbilical cord falls, use moxa fumigation to make it firm. After middle age, illness approaches body. Like plants being watered and earthed again, fumigate umbilicus by method. Does this not remove evil, cure disease, and protect life? I pity descendants dying young without completing natural lifespan. Specifically transmit this worldly-saving prescription, universally teach this longevity-miracle medicine. Strengthen roots, protect body, fumigate origin, eliminate hundred diseases, relieve Five Zang pain, ensure whole-body peace. Medicines have loyal nature, gather righteous Qi of Yin and Yang, arrange sovereign-minister-assistant-guide roles. Effect like god, response like echo. Has power to revive dead and save world, miracle to protect life and extend years. Pass this formula only to noble sages, do not show to unworthy people, lest incur heavenly punishment. Preserve and respect it. Fumigate once annually on Mid-Autumn Day. Eliminate disease, extend years. Clear upper burner fire evil, remove chronic heart/intestine diseases. Women with irregular menstruation, red/white leukorrhea; men with lower Yuan deficiency, spermatorrhea, white turbidity, impotence. All fumigate. During fumigation, person eats full meal, lies supine relaxed. Make circle of wheat flour dough, diameter over one cun, three to two cun larger than umbilicus. Put medicine powder inside. Cover medicine with thick layer of Huai pi (Locust tree bark, coarse skin removed), half fen thick. Moxa cone bean-sized, moxa. Hundred meridians harmonize, pores open. Up to Niwan, down to Yongquan. Cold sweat like rain. After long time, feel hungry, eat again, moxa again. Do not allow pain, pain leaks True Qi. Moxa until several years of age pass. Healthy people moxa consecutive days, sick people moxa once every three days. Moxa until sounds/pain in abdomen, saliva/fleam in stool appear, then stop. Only drink rice soup, eat white meat and yellow wine to assist medicine power. If suffering from Wind Qi, with stagnant heat in couli (skin/muscle interstices), add female Red Lead mixed with medicine, then easy to sweat and disease heals. If Huai pi feels scorched, replace with new. After all moxibustion, appearance differs, effects verifiable. Now list refined medicine ingredients below:
