焰硝（二两，细研） 白矾（三两，细研） 寒水石（四两，细研） 块状砒霜（一两，细研）
以上药物，取一个烧药罐子，容量能盛得下十两药。先用火烘烤罐子，用生姜汁涂抹数遍，烤干。先将砒末放入罐底按实，其次放入焰硝末按实，再次放入白矾末按实，最后放入寒水石末覆盖在表面，填满罐子。上面用圆瓦片盖合罐口，将罐子坐放在地上。周围簇拥五斤炭火从顶部加热，直到烟尽为止。去掉火源，等待冷却后取出药物，砒在最底部，刮取干净，研磨至极细，砒单独研磨更好。其次加入纯白石脂一两，只要用好白土也可以，一同研磨成细粉，滴水调和成团剂，在手心中，由多人轮流转手搓丸，大小如梧桐子。先在阴凉处干燥，或日晒，或焙干，使其完全干燥。再放入新的坩埚内，用圆瓦片盖合罐口，坐在砖上。簇拥三斤炭火，烧至通红为止，用铃铛形状的坩埚，将丹倾倒入一个浓密的磁盘中，颜色如玉霜般洁白。每次服用一、二粒。空腹时，用冷水吞服，并用干食物压住。忌食温热之物。不久将有身孕者不可服用此药。如果没有药罐，只用经过炼制、容量五十两的银坩埚两个，将药物分作两处，按实烧制也可以。此药大治虚寒证，强壮脾胃，增进饮食，有显著疗效。寒水石南方人称之为软石膏。
透明硫黄（四两） 猪脂肪（半斤）
以上先将硫黄碎为小块，用沙石铫子炼猪脂肪成汁，去除筋膜，然后将硫黄放入其中，急忙用柳枝搅拌，刚等到硫黄熔化，不可炼过头，随即撤去火源。先用一盏汤，用新棉布罩在上面，将所熬制的硫黄和油脂倒在棉布上，硫黄下沉，油脂上浮，等待冷却，拨去油脂，将凝固的硫黄用皂角汤洗涤十余遍，等到不粘腻，用柳木槌研磨三、五天，细如粉末，用水浸泡，蒸饼为丸，大小如梧桐子。每次服用三、五十丸，米饮送下。《陈莹中手书》中收录此方说：这是川地范忠宣公家的家传方法。范忠宣无论老少，有病无病，每天服用，如同嗜好茶饭一样。因为硫黄被油脂所制约，不滞留于脏腑之间。壮气养真，没有比这更好的了，真是仙人的法度啊！

Sal Nitri (2 liang, finely ground) Alumen (3 liang, finely ground) Halloysitum Rubrum (4 liang, finely ground) Arsenic Trioxide in lump form (1 liang, finely ground)
Take one crucible for calcining medicines, capable of holding ten liang of medicine. First, heat the crucible over fire, apply ginger juice several times, and dry it by heating. Place the arsenic powder at the bottom of the crucible and press it firmly. Next, place the sal nitri powder and press it firmly. Then, place the alumen powder and press it firmly. Finally, cover with halloysitum rubrum powder to fill the crucible completely. Cover the mouth of the crucible with a round tile, and place the crucible on the ground. Surround the top with five jin of charcoal to ignite the fire from above, continuing until the smoke ceases. Remove the fire, wait for it to cool, and retrieve the medicine. The arsenic will be at the bottom; scrape it clean and grind it extremely fine. It is better to grind the arsenic separately. Next, add one liang of pure white kaolin (good quality white clay may also be used), grind together into a fine powder like flour. Add water dropwise to form a dough. Roll the pills between the palms of several people until they are the size of sophora seeds. Dry them first in the shade, or sun-dry, or bake them until thoroughly dry. Then place them in a new crucible, cover the mouth with a round tile, and sit the crucible on bricks. Surround with three jin of charcoal, heating until red-hot. Pour the elixir into a dense porcelain dish using a bell-shaped crucible. The color should be white like jade frost. Take one or two pills per dose. Swallow with cold water on an empty stomach, and follow with dry food to suppress any potential adverse effects. Avoid warm substances. Do not take this medicine if pregnant or likely to become pregnant soon. If no calcining crucible is available, use two silver crucibles refined to hold fifty liang, divide the medicine into two parts, press firmly, and calcine. This medicine greatly treats deficiency-cold syndromes, strengthens the spleen and stomach, promotes appetite, and has significant efficacy. Halloysitum rubrum is called soft gypsum by people in the south.
Fan Zhongxuan Gong's Method for Refining Jin Ye Dan (Golden Liquid Elixir).
Transparent Sulfur (4 liang) Pig Fat (half jin)
First, crush the sulfur into small pieces. Use a stone pot to melt the pig fat into liquid, remove the fascia, then add the sulfur. Stir quickly with a willow branch. As soon as the sulfur melts, do not overheat, and immediately remove from fire. Prepare one cup of decoction, cover it with new cotton cloth, and pour the boiled sulfur and fat onto the cloth. The sulfur sinks, and the fat floats. Wait for it to cool, remove the fat, and wash the solidified sulfur with gleditsia sinensis decoction more than ten times until it is no longer sticky. Grind with a wooden pestle made of willow wood for three to five days until fine as powder. Soak in water, mix with steamed bread dough to form pills, the size of sophora seeds. Take thirty to fifty pills per dose, swallowed with rice drink. The "Handwritten Record of Chen Yingzhong" records this prescription: "This is the family method of Fan Zhongxuan Gong in Sichuan." Fan Zhongxuan took it daily regardless of age or health status, just as he enjoyed tea and meals. Because the sulfur is controlled by the fat, it does not remain in the zang-fu organs. Strengthening qi and nourishing true essence, nothing surpasses this; truly a method of immortals!
