The *Lingqi Fang* (Spiritual Wonder Formulas) describes methods to avoid cold:
Powder equal parts of Realgar (*Realgar*, Xionghuang), Alisma Rhizome (*Alismatis Rhizoma*, Zexie), Zanthoxylum Fruit (*Zanthoxyli Fructus*, Jiao), and Aconite Lateral Root (*Aconiti Lateralis Radix*, Fuzi). Take with well water drawn at dawn. In winter, one may wear only single-layer garments. [Note: The *Zhenzhong Fang* (Formulas from the Pillow Center) is identical.]
Another formula: Three sheng of Atractylodes Rhizome (*Atractododis Rhizoma*, Zhuru), two sheng of Saposhnikovia Root (*Saposhnikoviae Radix*, Fangfeng), and half a sheng of Datura Seed (*Daturae Semen*, Langdangzi*). Roast them, mix into powder, and take one fangcun bi (a square-inch measure) per dose. It can be taken with wine or congee. Continue taking it without interruption; finish one dose daily. In winter, no clothing is needed.
Another formula: Equal parts of Realgar (*Realgar*, Xionghuang), Cinnabar (*Cinnabaris*, Dansha), Red Halloysite (*Halloysitum Rubrum*, Chishizhi), and Dried Ginger (*Zingiberis Rhizoma*, Ganjiang), each four fen. Mix with White Pine Resin (*Pini Succinum*, Baisongzhi) to form pills the size of a Chinese quince seed (wutong zi). Swallow four pills daily. After ten days, one will not feel cold. In winter, one may desire to go without clothes and even enter water. Another version adds four fen of Cinnamon Twig (*Cinnamomi Ramulus*, Guizhi). (Identical to the *Zhenzhong Fang*.)
Another formula: Ophiopogon Tuber (*Ophiopogonis Tuber*, Mendong) and Poria Sclerotium (*Poria*, Fuling) in equal parts, powdered. Take one fangcun bi per dose, twice daily. One will sweat while wearing single-layer garments during cold weather. (Identical to the *Zhenzhong Fang*.)
It is also said: Methods to avoid heat:
Equal parts of Realgar (*Realgar*, Xionghuang), White Halloysite (*Halloysitum Album*, Baishi Zhi), and Black Halloysite (*Halloysitum Nigrum*, Heishi Zhi). Mix with White Pine Resin (*Pini Succinum*, Baisongzhi) to form pills the size of a small bean. Swallow five pills. This is called the "Female Yellow Pill" (Ci Huang Wan).
Another formula: Equal parts of Realgar (*Realgar*, Xionghuang), Cinnabar (*Cinnabaris*, Dansha), and Red Halloysite (*Halloysitum Rubrum*, Chishizhi). Grind and mix with pine resin to form pills the size of a small bean. This is named the "Male Pill" (Xiong Wan). Swallow three female pills and one male pill. One will not feel hot.
Another formula: Alum Stone (*Alumen*, Fanshi), White Halloysite (*Halloysitum Album*, Baishi Zhi), Cinnabar (*Cinnabaris*, Dansha), Magnetite (*Magnetitum*, Cishi), and Cinnamon Twig (*Cinnamomi Ramulus*, Guizhi), each four liang. Mix with pine resin to form pills the size of a small bean. Swallow four pills at dusk. In summer, one may wear heavy clothing. (Identical to the *Zhenzhong Fang*.)
The *Ruyi Fang* (As-You-Wish Formulas) states: Method to keep clothes dry in rain:
Place a spider in a clay urn. Feed it pig lard for one hundred days. Kill the spider and apply its juice to a handkerchief. Heavy rain will not wet it.
Another formula: Fourteen red-bellied spiders. Crush to extract juice and use it to dye cloth handkerchiefs. Cover oneself with them, and one will not get wet.
The *Lingqi Fang* states: Method of non-wetting:
Apply spider juice to cloth handkerchiefs; rain will not wet them.
The *De Fugui Fang* (Gaining Wealth and Status Formulas) states: The essence of great fire is named "Wanwu." It fears fire. Calling out "Zong Wu Huo" will make it stop. The essence of great water is named "KTXiang" (transliteration of obscure character). It fears entering water. Calling out "KTXiang" will prevent water from harming people.
It is also said: To enter water, form the character "Wang" (King) with your hand, and call out "Hong Zhang."
The *Baopuzi* states: If one obtains a real rhino horn of more than one chi in length, it is called "Yu" (Fish). Holding it in the mouth while entering water causes the water to part by three chi, allowing one to breathe underwater.
It is also said: Mix onion exudate with Cinnamon Twig (*Cinnamomi Ramulus*, Guizhi). Form pills the size of a Chinese quince seed. Take seven pills, three times daily. After three years, one can walk on water.
The *Lingqi Fang* states: Fourteen spiders. Place in a basin, feed with grease, and bury under a wall for thirty days. Apply the resulting substance to the feet. One can walk on water without sinking.
