取半斤洁净的朴硝，放入罐中，用炭火加热使其熔化，继续煎煮至变红且水分干涸，停止加热，待冷却定型后取出，这就成为了硝石，收藏起来以备后用。
取一斤铅，放入小罐中，用炭火煨烤使其熔化。将二两白砒投入熔化的铅液面上，炼制直到烟雾散尽为止。待冷却定型后，打开罐子，金色的砒霜顶部就会凝结在铅的表面，将其取下并收藏备用。
“红铅”是指女子初次来潮时的经血。凡是女子到了十四岁（二七之年）天癸至，这属于阴中的真阳，是气血的根本禀赋。在月经即将来潮之前，女子的双颊会先呈现出如桃花般的色泽，这是阳气显现、阴血潜藏的表现，那么半月之内月经必定会来。可以预先准备一尺五寸长的白色绵绸，将其洗净。当经血流出时，其形态像鱼眼一样，颜色红而明亮，光泽如同珍珠；其余的经血则用绸布兜住收集。将其阴干后浸泡在上等的童便中，片刻之后，经血自然会从绸布上脱落，聚集放置在瓷盆中，阴干后备用。如果是第二次及以后的月经，只要女子尚未破身，都可以收集。在瓷盆中阴干并升华炼制后，颜色如同紫霜。其中第一次来的经血，是接续生命的重要宝物。服用方法是用陈年黄酒送服。如果服用过量导致昏醉不醒，饮用人的乳汁，日后自然苏醒。服用后如果能戒除房事，可以延长寿命一纪（十二年）。第二次及以后的经血，如果配合入“二元丹”，用人乳送服，也能接续生命、延年益寿，祛除百病。此方异常神秘，不宜轻易泄露。
本品的主要治疗功效，如救治砒霜中毒、河豚毒素中毒，都极其神效。又如治疗伤寒阳毒引起的发狂、疔疮、痧症，以及毒气侵入体内导致的烦躁、口渴、脉象洪大有力等症状，都可以治疗。取法是用一节连着的两段大毛竹，用刀削去外皮青皮的一半，[此处原文似有缺漏，结合语境推测为收集竹沥或类似液体]，这就是金汁。用瓷罐收贮以备后用。
凡是不论大小的蟾蜍，都有酥。取法可以用宽幅的铜镊子，夹住蟾蜍眉棱骨上方的高肉处稍微用力，随即拔去。酥就会凝结在镊子内，如果量多就刮下来，阴干处理。已经被取过酥的蟾蜍，避风两天后，再放回草丛园地里，自然不会对其生命造成伤害。
Take half a *jin* (approx. 500g) of clean *Puxiao* (Mirabilite, Natrii Sulfas), place it in a jar, and melt it over charcoal fire. Continue to boil until it turns red and dries out. Extinguish the fire, allow it to cool and solidify, then remove it; this becomes *Xiaoshi* (Niter/Potassium Nitrate). Store it for future use.
Take one *jin* of lead, place it in a small jar, and melt it using charcoal fire. Throw two *liang* (approx. 60g) of *Baipi* (White Arsenic, Realgar/Orpiment mixture) onto the molten lead. Refine until all smoke has dissipated. After cooling and solidifying, open the container. The golden-topped arsenic will crystallize on the surface of the lead. Remove it and store it for use.
"Red Lead" refers to the menstrual blood from a woman's first menstruation. When a woman reaches the age of fourteen (two times seven years), her *Tian Gui* (Heavenly Water/Menstrual Blood) arrives. This is considered the true Yang within Yin, the primordial source of Qi and Blood. Before menstruation begins, her cheeks often appear like peach blossoms, indicating that Yang is manifesting while Yin is storing; menstruation will definitely occur within half a month. Prepare one chi five cun (approx. 50cm) of white raw silk cloth, washed clean. When the flow starts, it resembles fish eyes, red and bright, with luster like pearls; collect the remaining flow using the silk cloth. Dry it in the shade, then soak it in clear urine from a young boy (Tong Bian). After a short while, the menstrual blood will naturally detach from the cloth. Gather it in a porcelain basin and dry it in the shade for use. For subsequent menstruations, if the woman has not yet lost her virginity, they can also be collected. Dry them in the shade in a porcelain basin and refine them by sublimation; the color will resemble purple frost. The first occurrence is a precious treasure for extending life. Take it mixed with aged wine. If taken in excess causing unconsciousness or drunkenness, drink human milk, and she will recover naturally later. If sexual abstinence is maintained after taking it, life can be extended by one cycle of twelve years. Subsequent menstrual blood, if combined into "Er Yuan Dan" (Two Primordial Elixir) and taken with human milk, can also extend life and cure various diseases. This prescription is extremely mysterious and should not be lightly disclosed.
The main therapeutic functions of this product include treating arsenic poisoning and pufferfish poisoning, both with extreme efficacy. It can also treat conditions such as mania caused by Yang toxicity in Cold Damage (Shanghan), Ding sores (carbuncles/furuncles), Sha syndrome (sand disease/toxic heat), and internal invasion of toxic qi causing restlessness, thirst, and a large, forceful pulse. [Note: The original text contains a gap here regarding the preparation of "Jin Zhi"]. Take a section of large bamboo consisting of two connected nodes, shave off half of the outer green skin with a knife... this is Jin Zhi (Golden Juice). Store in a porcelain jar for use.
Regardless of size, all toads possess Su (Toad Venom/Cerumen). To extract it, use wide copper tweezers to pinch the fleshy gland above the toad's brow ridge tightly, then quickly pull away. The venom will condense in the tweezers. Scrape off the accumulated venom and dry it in the shade. The toad, having been harvested, should be kept away from wind for two days, then returned to the grassy garden; it will not suffer harm to its life.
