PART ONE
The Chamber of the Spirit Is the Pivot of the Elixir
Yang Exits and Yin Enters
Control Comes from the Ruler
The Numerics of K’an and Li Are One and Two
Hardness and Softness Embrace
The Transformation of the Spirit Is Patterned
after the Hexagrams Chi and Wei
Water and Fire Have Their Own Territory
Set Up Positions in the Chamber of the Spirit
Substance and Nonsubstance Control Each Other
Instructions Are Not Given Superfluously
The Fire of Metal Is the True Lead
It Becomes Subtle and Moist, Bright and Shiny
The Mysterious Woman Unfolds the Process
Part Two
In Revealing the Nature of the Elixir
Initially K’un Is Transformed into Chen
In Sixteen Days They Diminish
Chien and K’un Are at the Beginning and the End
