水银一斤，用净硫黄四两先入锅内溶汁，即倾水银入汁内，急以棒搅匀如饭，以铁铲铲起，
冷则成青土块，收用。镇坠药之最有力者，如灵丹以之坠痰，颠病以之镇祟，盖不可无也。
用青金或一斤或二斤入固济罐中，量有半罐，上用铁灯盏坐口，存一口如筋大出烟。先用文
火渐加武火，盏内着水，炼一日住火，次日取开，灵砂尽结灯盏之下，一饼明如朱砂，是为灵砂。
用灵砂钵内乳细，入胶水同乳飞在罗底绢内。不过绢者，复入乳之，久又飞入绢内，直以过
尽为度。煎乌梅汤，乘滚泡入朱中，则澄而红，去水成朱。

用黑铅十斤，锅内化开，炒成粉，再入焰硝一斤，同炒极红则成丹。
用水银一斤，明矾、焰硝、皂矾、食盐各二两，同研一处，以不见汞星为度。用乌瓷盆二个，
以药铺盆内，上用一盆合定，以盐泥、石膏、蜜、醋调封盆口，勿令泄气。下盆底用铁钉三脚支
住，四五寸高。用炭火先文后武蒸半日，次日冷定，轻轻取起上盆，则轻粉尽腾于上，以鹅翎扫
下听用。此为真正轻粉，生肌立效。市肆便搀寒水石、银母石、石膏之伪物而获利，计真正仅有
十分之一分，如之何而求效哉！
用猪牙皂角、威灵仙、细辛、羌活、白芷、川芎、草乌、白蒺藜、 本、天麻、苍术、独活、良姜、官桂、
雄黄、乳香、没药、麝香少许，余各等分为末，用熟艾薄铺绵纸上，少以药末掺艾上卷作条子，
如筋大长五寸。遇痛针痛，其效如神。女人隔衣，衣上用纸三层，将火针灯上烧燃，竟就纸上蒸
之，良久火息痛止，不欲发泄，只蒸一壮；欲发泄者，任蒸三壮五壮，自然药气冲入经络，如着
肉灸火一同。
水银一斤，用纯净硫黄四两先放入锅内熔化出汁液，随即把水银倒入汁液中，迅速用棒搅拌均匀像饭粒一样，用铁铲铲起，冷却后便结成青色的土块，收藏备用。这是镇坠类药物中最有力的，比如灵丹用它来坠痰，癫病用它来镇压邪祟，大概是不可缺少的。
取青金（炼制后的汞化合物）一两或二斤放入经过密封处理的罐中，约占罐的一半，上面用铁灯盏盖住口部，留一个如筋粗细的孔让烟气排出。先用小火逐渐加大为大火，灯盏内盛水，炼制一天后停止加热，第二天打开取出，灵砂全部凝结在灯盏下方，形成一块明亮如朱砂的饼状物，这就是灵砂。
将灵砂放入钵中研磨细碎，加入胶水一同研磨，使药粉通过罗底绢筛飞入绢内。不能通过绢筛的，再放入钵中研磨，反复多次直到全部通过为止。煎煮乌梅汤，趁热泡入朱砂粉末中，则液体澄清变红，去除水分即成朱砂。
使用黑铅十斤，在锅内熔化，炒成粉末，再加入焰硝一斤，一同炒至极红则变成丹。
用水银一斤，明矾、焰硝、皂矾、食盐各二两，一起研磨在一起，直到看不见汞星为止。准备两个乌瓷盆，将药物铺在一个盆内，上面用另一个盆扣合固定，用盐泥、石膏、蜂蜜、醋调和密封盆口，不要漏气。下盆底部用三根铁钉支撑，高度四五寸。用炭火先文火后武火蒸半天，第二天冷却定形后，轻轻取下上盆，则轻粉全部升腾到上盆中，用鹅毛扫下听候使用。这是真正的轻粉，生肌效果立竿见影。市场上常搀杂寒水石、银母石、石膏等伪物来获利，计算真正轻粉仅有十分之一分，怎么能求得疗效呢！
用猪牙皂角、威灵仙、细辛、羌活、白芷、川芎、草乌、白蒺藜、本（此处疑为“藁本”之误或简称）、天麻、苍术、独活、良姜、官桂、雄黄、乳香、没药、少许麝香，其余各药材等分为末，用熟艾薄薄铺在绵纸上，少量撒上药末在艾上卷成条状，如筋粗细长五寸。遇到疼痛处针刺痛点，其效果如神。女性使用时隔衣操作，衣服上用三层纸，将火针在灯上烧燃，直接在纸上熏蒸，很久之后火熄灭疼痛停止，不想发散药气的，只熏一壮；想要发散药气的，任其熏三壮五壮，自然药气冲入经络，如同直接灸火一样。
One *jin* (approx. 500g) of Mercury (*Hydrargyrum*), mixed with four *liang* (approx. 125g) of purified Sulfur (*Sulfur*) previously melted in a pot. Pour the Mercury into the molten Sulfur, stir rapidly and evenly with a rod until it resembles rice grains, then scoop up with an iron spatula. Upon cooling, it forms blue-earth-like lumps; store for use. This is the most potent among sedative drugs, such as using it in *Lingdan* to settle phlegm or in epilepsy to suppress evil influences; it is indispensable.
Take one or two *jin* of refined mercury compound (referred to as "Qingjin") and place it in a sealed crucible, filling it halfway. Cover the mouth with an iron lamp bowl, leaving a hole the size of a tendon for smoke to escape. Apply gentle heat initially, gradually increasing to strong heat, with water in the lamp bowl. Refine for one day, then stop heating. On the next day, open and retrieve; the *Lingsha* will have condensed beneath the lamp bowl into a cake bright like Cinnabar. This is *Lingsha*.
Grind the *Lingsha* finely in a mortar, add glue water, and continue grinding so that the powder flies through a silk sieve. Material that does not pass through is returned to the mortar for further grinding. Repeat until all material passes through. Decoct Tartary Apricot Kernel (*Fructus Mume*) soup, pour it hot into the Cinnabar powder while stirring; the liquid becomes clear and red. Remove the water to obtain Cinnabar.
Melt ten *jin* of Lead (*Plumbum*) in a pot, stir-fry into powder, then add one *jin* of Potassium Nitrate (*Natrii Nitras*). Stir-fry together until extremely red to form the cinnabar-like substance.
Mix one *jin* of Mercury (*Hydrargyrum*) with two *liang* each of Alum (*Alumen*), Potassium Nitrate (*Natrii Nitras*), Green Vitriol (*Vitriolum Viride*), and Sodium Chloride (*Natrii Chloridum*). Grind them together until no mercury droplets are visible. Prepare two black porcelain basins. Place the mixture in one basin, cover tightly with the second basin, and seal the rim with a paste made of salt mud, Gypsum Fibrosum (*Gypsum*), honey, and vinegar to prevent gas leakage. Support the bottom basin with three iron nails, about four to five *cun* high. Steam over charcoal fire, starting with gentle heat and progressing to strong heat, for half a day. After cooling overnight, gently lift the upper basin. The Calomel (*Hydrargyri Chloridum Mite*) will have sublimated into the upper basin. Sweep it down with a goose feather for use. This is genuine Calomel, which has immediate effects in promoting tissue regeneration. The market often adulterates it with Halloysitum Rubrum, Argentum Mother Stone, and Gypsum Fibrosum for profit; genuine Calomel accounts for only one-tenth of one percent. How can efficacy be expected?
Use Pericarpium Zanthoxyli Sinensis (*Fructus Zanthoxyli*), Radix Thalictri (*Radix Thalictri*), Radix Asari (*Radix Asari*), Rhizoma Notopterygii (*Rhizoma Notopterygii*), Radix Angelicae Dahuricae (*Radix Angelicae Dahuricae*), Radix Chuanxiong (*Rhizoma Chuanxiong*), Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii (*Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii*), Fructus Tribuli (*Fructus Tribuli*), Rhizoma Ligustici (*Rhizoma Ligustici*), Rhizoma Gastrodiae (*Rhizoma Gastrodiae*), Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (*Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae*), Radix Angelicae Pubescentis (*Radix Angelicae Pubescentis*), Rhizoma Alpiniae Officinarum (*Rhizoma Alpiniae Officinarum*), Ramulus Cinnamomi (*Ramulus Cinnamomi*), Realgar (*Realgar*), Resina Mastichae (*Resina Mastichae), Resina Olibani (*Resina Olibani*), and a small amount of Moschus (*Moschus*). Grind all ingredients except Moschus into fine powder in equal proportions. Spread thin layers of prepared Mugwort (*Herba Artemisiae Argyi*) on cotton paper, sprinkle a small amount of the medicinal powder onto the Mugwort, and roll into strips the thickness of a tendon and five *cun* long. When treating pain, prick the painful point; the effect is miraculous. For women, operate through clothing: place three layers of paper on the clothing, ignite the fire needle on a lamp, and steam the area directly through the paper. After a long time, when the fire extinguishes, the pain stops. If one wishes to avoid dispersing the qi, apply only one moxa cone equivalent; if one wishes to disperse the pathogen, apply three to five moxa cone equivalents. Naturally, the medicinal qi penetrates the meridians, similar to direct moxibustion.
