Place the above ingredients in a small bottle with one sheng of water and soak together. Soak for three days in spring and summer, five days in autumn and winter. Then take one Ricini Semen, break it open, face east, and swallow with the soaking liquid. Take on an empty stomach in the morning. Gradually increase to four or five pills. Mild diarrhea is acceptable. Add more water if needed. Avoid foods that induce wind. Repeated use yields miraculous results.

Stir-fry again until black, stopping when smoke appears. Break open one tuber; the center should have a white spot the size of a rice grain. If too much white remains, stir-fry more.

Mr. Bai Wenyaa of Zifu Temple in Zhizhou suffered from this disease during the Yuan dynasty. After taking this medicine for several years, his black complexion disappeared, his leg strength became robust, and his hearing and vision remained unimpaired.
A clan relative suffered from Zijian Feng (purple macular rash) all over his body, looking like ink. After taking it for over a year, his body became lustrous. He taught me to take it, and after about a year, all wind-rash sores were eliminated. However, the nature of the drug is slightly hot. Although toxicity has been removed by processing, it is best to consume Black Soybean Porridge every five to seven days to mitigate this.
