Jue of Qiushi (Processed Human Urine)

Strictly adhere to the supreme principles, do not leak the secrets. Knowing that you possess an immortal nature from a past life, I shall now reveal the mysteries of heaven and earth to you.

Establish the furnace and tripod, emulating the Great Universe; build the altar high, named after the Mountain and Marsh (trigrams). Refine the True Lead (referring to the essence and spirit within the human body), its color changes with time. When it is midnight on the Mid-Autumn Festival, ascend the southern tower to admire the moonlight. A single wheel of moonlight shines with clear, profound five-colored radiance. In autumn, seek the essence of the Jade Rabbit (Moon) in its brain; from stone, extract the blood of the Golden Crow (Sun) within its heart. Only these two substances are needed to form the spiritual elixir. The Great Dao is simple, requiring no affectation. Use fire to take the essence of the Sun, use water to take the brilliance of the Moon. This differs from the methods of various other schools. Internally, apply talismanic fire for cultivation, aligning with the heavenly mechanism, gathering Yin and Yang energies, which are unfathomable to ordinary people. The Green Phoenix flies back to the nest of Chaos; the White Turtle drills into the Kunlun Cave. The Dragon and Tiger are tamed; the Infant (Primordial Spirit) crosses over the Yellow Mother (the mediator). Skillfully manipulating a thousand tongues, they converge at once in the Orchid Chamber (Dantian/Inner Room), like husband and wife joining in joy, their affection firm and hot. At this moment, employ tonifying methods; the Spiritual Embryo is formed, the fetal origin complete, shining with a resplendent purple-gold hue. Shedding the mortal body and exchanging bones, it mirrors the waxing and waning of the moon, adjusting the fire according to the cycles of fullness and emptiness. Purple clouds, purple ribbons, and purple lingzhi mushrooms are as bright and prominent as the sun's disk. One li (a unit of weight) of elixir can refine one jin (a unit of weight) of gold; one pill can extend life by tens of millions of years. Upon completion of merit, fortunate enough to receive edicts from all heavens, summoned by flying phoenixes and luan birds, and promoted to high positions. I tell you all this today, fearing that too many words might only cause confusion. The difficulty lies in obtaining this method; practice it silently. In future years, your name will be inscribed in the Golden Palace (Heaven/Highest Rank).

Tongbian (Human Urine): Do not limit the quantity. Boil in a pot until dry. Add an appropriate amount of straw ash or buckwheat hull ash, and collect until dry. When the bottom of the pot turns red, remove it and crush it. Then, use a clean pot, add clear water, and boil again. When it boils vigorously, place a winnowing basket lined with three sheets of high-quality cotton paper over the pot to filter the medicinal liquid. The filtrate should be clear. Next, use a cleaned copper pot or copper ladle, pour in the filtered and clarified liquid, and boil again until the elixir forms. Once dry, expose it to sunlight during the day and dew at night for ten days, then it is ready for use.

Use one earthenware jar. Drill three holes at the top, middle, and bottom. Plug them with cloth, then fill with Tongbian (Human Urine), quantity不限. Stir vigorously with peach and willow branches, similar to the process of making indigo dye, for more than a thousand times. Repeat this four or five times. Then, add 7-8 qian of genuine滑石 (Talcum Powder) or a whole piece of寒水石 (Natrii Sulfas/Cool Water Stone, uncrushed) to the bottom of the jar. Wait for it to clarify, then drain the clear liquid from the top, middle, and bottom holes. The drained clear liquid should also be stirred three times from top, middle, and bottom. After removing the clear liquid, add clear water to the jar and stir three times again, draining all the water. Take the original clarified juice, estimate the volume, add human milk, leave it exposed to the night dew overnight, and dry it in the sun. It is then ready for use. Alternatively, make pills using white pine cake as a binder. Take orally with boiling water, either empty-stomached in the morning or afternoon, or before bed, as desired.
