Long-term use lightens the body, prevents aging, extends life, and leads to immortality. Also known as Mu Zhi (Wood Lingzhi). Grows in the valleys of Gaoxia Mountain. All six types of Lingzhi are non-toxic; harvested in June and August. *Dioscorea opposita* (Shuyu) acts as a guide drug; combined with human hair, it yields good results; combined with Cannabis seed (Maziren), White melon seed (Baiguazi), and Cinnamon twig (Mogui), it benefits humans further. Contraindicated with Mount Heng Lingzhi (Hengshan); fears Bianqing and Artemisia capillaris (Yinchenhao).
Note: There is no county named "Gaoxia" in administrative records; it is likely a mountain name. These six types of Lingzhi belong to the category of immortal herbs, rarely seen in the world, with many varieties differing in shape and color, all recorded in the *Illustrations of Lingzhi*. The Purple Lingzhi currently used in practice grows on rotting tree stumps, resembling wooden knots, and is called Purple Lingzhi. It is likely only effective for treating hemorrhoids and is not suitable for compounding various tonic pills. Whenever Lingzhi is obtained, it should be eaten directly without specific dosage restrictions, hence no administration methods are recorded.
