Fang for Wu Zhenjun to Take Sichuan Pepper (Jiaojiao)
Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium, Jiaozhi) is endowed with the Qi of the Five Elements. Its leaves are green, its peel red, its flowers yellow, its membrane white, and its fruit black. It warms the Danfu (Elixir Field/Dantian), unblocks blood vessels, assists Yuanqi (Original Qi), eliminates toxins from alcohol and food, repels warm pathogenic factors, calms the five Zang organs, regulates the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), and prevents heat from steaming upward. Among aromatic herbs, its efficacy is unmatched. To prepare: take one jin (approx. 500g) of Sichuan pepper from Jinzhou, discard floating ones, those that have not opened (closed-mouth), and those with black spots. Stir-fry thoroughly in a silver vessel. Spread two layers of paper on the ground, pour the pepper onto the paper, cover tightly with a new basin, and seal the perimeter with yellow earth. After about half a day, its toxicity transforms into sweat and emerges naturally. Dry it in the sun, lightly pound in a wooden mortar, and take four or five liang (approx. 150-200g) of the red peel. Pound again into powder in an iron mortar. Use wood honey as a binder to make pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds (Wutongzi). Store in a gauze bag when dry, hanging in a ventilated place. Take ten pills orally with wine on an empty stomach daily, gradually increasing to fifteen pills. After six months, increase to twenty pills; after one year, increase to twenty-five pills.
Fang for Zhang Guoxian Sheng to Take Almond (Xingren)
Almond (Prunus Armeniaca Seed, Xingren) calms the five Zang organs, tonifies sinews and bones, replenishes blood and marrow, benefits spirit, strengthens memory and vision, and eliminates phlegm stagnation. Long-term consumption can lead to immortality. In ancient times, Wang Zijin and Ding Lingwei consumed raw almonds and achieved immortality. This is because raw almonds retain their full potency, whereas cooked ones lose half their efficacy. Furthermore, almond’s nature does not conflict with other herbs. It is only contraindicated to consume it with sweet rice porridge made from un-washed white glutinous rice, which may cause slight discomfort that resolves quickly. If encountered while traveling, let the porridge cool; consuming any amount is harmless. According to Bencao, almond is warm and neutral in nature, bitter in taste. With long-term use, the taste improves; after three years, bitterness disappears, leaving only sweetness. It does not direct Qi downward but clears heat above the diaphragm and strengthens the waist and legs. Users should be aware of these effects. For preparation, select double-kernel almonds with peel and tips removed, preferably yellow ones. Every morning on an empty stomach before brushing teeth, take fourteen raw almonds, remove peel and tips in the mouth, chew thoroughly until half a mouthful of saliva forms, then swallow. After walking about one li (approx. 500m), one may eat other foods freely. To extend life, meat and pungent/spicy foods may be eaten. To ascend to immortality, all meat and pungent/spicy foods must be avoided. One may marry and engage in ordinary labor. Meat is prone to decay and thus detrimental to longevity; immortals avoid it. Abstaining from meat facilitates the Dao of Immortality. Alternatively, consuming raw almonds cures all diseases in one year, lightens the body and clarifies vision within two years, allowing sight up to a thousand li.
Li Babo’s Apricot Golden Pill Fang
Select five dou (approx. 62.5L) of plump, solid apricot kernels. Place in a cloth bag and soak in Jinghua water (first-drawn well water) for three days. Then place in a steamer, cover with cloth, and add five cun (approx. 16cm) of yellow sand on top. Steam for one day. Remove sand, then steam again in millet for one day, followed by wheat for one day, and finally barley for one day. Press to extract five sheng (approx. 2L) of oil, clarify it, and pour into a silver bottle shaped like a water flask, filling it partially. Cover the mouth with a silver disc slightly larger than the opening, sealing the seam with molten silver. Boil in a large cauldron for seven shichen (14 hours), stirring occasionally to observe oil coagulation. Open, remove medicine, and continue heating until it becomes liquid. Pour out and cool; the color resembles gold. Pound in a mortar until suitable for pills. Make pills the size of yellow rice grains. Take twenty pills orally with wine on an empty stomach morning and night, or with saliva. Long-term use preserves Qi, extends life, turns white hair black, and cures myriad diseases.
(Fang for Lightening Body and Extending Life - Immortal Technique Pills)
Select plump Atractylodes rhizome (Cangzhu). Soak in rice washing water, quantity unspecified. Soak for three days in summer/autumn, seven days in spring/winter. Scrape off peel with a bamboo knife, wash with water, steam in a steamer for half a day, slice, and bake dry. Pound into powder in a stone mortar using a wooden pestle. Use refined honey to make pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take fifty pills orally with wine every morning and noon. After ten years of use, consume black rice steamed with Nan Zhu (Camellia nitidissima) to guide the formation of "Zhu Ren" (Spirit of Atractylodes) in the abdomen, achieving spiritual power. At this stage, one or two hairs may fall out; if no hair falls, the form is complete. This formula dispels wind, moistens skin, strengthens sinews and bones, and promotes appetite.

Shenzhen Fang (Divine Pillow Formula)

The old man replied: "At eighty, my hair turned white and teeth fell out.
