867 Changing the World
"A True Immortal's Blood!"
As Miya said this, the Pontiff found it amusing. He didn't expect Miya to be confident enough to deal with a True Immortal's Blood.
He at least expected her to first try so lower-class concoctions for a Chaos Alchemist.
"Mhmm… Acquiring it wouldn't be easy. It will take so ti but it's possible." The Pontiff answered, which made Miya excited.
"Not a Half-Immortal… But a True Immortal's Blood, okay?" Miya repeated, just in case the Pontiff misunderstood.
"Haha… You must be skeptical since I answered too quickly. Yes… It's possible for to obtain such a precious ingredient…" The Pontiff replied.
"Are you thinking of asking the Shadow Immortal or those True Immortals working for him?" Miya asked curiously.
"Not really… We just know soone who collected the corpses of the Celestials or True Immortals. As a matter of fact, I believe that you know him." The Pontiff said with a smile, though Miya couldn't see it.
"I know this person?" Miya was surprised as she tried to recall any outstanding figure she had t before.
Aside from the Shadow Immortal, the only ones she could think of were those Elders from her family and the Half-Immortals from the Dark Arts Faction.
However, she couldn't really consider that she knew these Half-Immortals since she just basically had a glimpse of them and mostly just heard about their stories.
From the Pontiff's words, it actually seed as if she knew this person really well, so she couldn't help but feel curious.
"Yes… You know him… As a matter of fact, he was supposedly dead already, but the Goddess of Concealnt saved him in ti and was now living in secrecy. Once you're ready, you will be able to et him as well." The Pontiff said.
"Now, aside from that blood, do you have any other requests?" The Pontiff continued.
Realizing that he doesn't want to tell more about this person, Miya could only accept it.
"There will be plenty of them." She replied.
"Tell … The acolyte will be listing all of them." The Pontiff said as he gestured to the acolyte at the door.
Miya took a deep breath, recalling the intricate details of the formula she had learned. "Alright… aside from the True Immortal's blood. I need several rare ingredients. a vial of Phoenix Ashes, a shard of Moonstone, a drop of Dragon's Blood, and a sprig of Nightshade. Additionally, I will need a crucible enough to handle those precious materials, a set of high-tier alchemical tools, and a containnt vessel made of double-enchanted eyeglass."
The Pontiff raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed by the complexity of her request. "These are not easy to co by, but I will see to it that they are gathered for you. It will take us a day to gather these, while the Immortal's Blood will take two days. What do you intend to create?"
"A Philosopher's Elixir…" Miya replied, her eyes gleaming with excitent. "A single drop of this potion can enhance a regular human's body to accommodate Arcane Energy, granting them the power to practice Arcane Arts… It is a testant to the Chaos Alchemist's mastery."
The Pontiff's expression turned serious. "Such a creation is indeed powerful…"
There were several thoughts in his head after realizing what kind of ambition she wanted to achieve. This kind of potion certainly deserved to be only known by the Chaos Alchemist!
Seeing that the Pontiff was truly shocked, Miya smiled and added.
"A single drop of the Immortal's Blood can help create a potion that can be used for a thousand people."
The Pontiff took a deep breath as he heard this. This would surely create a chaos! To be exact, the world would change once this type of potion was leaked outside the Church!
After calming down, the Pontiff wryly smiled and replied.
"That's an incredible aspiration, Miya. Do you plan to create an army of Arcanist?" He asked.
At this question, Miya realized that the Pontiff was worried about the right cause.
She then quickly explained herself.
"Ahh… It's not about that Pontiff… I just wanted to change the world for the better. I just hope that ordinary people will no longer feel scared of the Evil Creatures and have the power to protect themselves from evil Arcanists. I also believe that if they learned any Arcane Path, the advancent of this world's magic technology would be a lot faster."
She still had other things to say, but this was certainly the main reason she was doing this. She believed that this was for the benefit of mankind.
Realizing her intention, the Pontiff finally nodded. In any case, the Goddess of Concealnt had ordered him to support Miya, so he could only obey and hope that this was really for the best.
"Use it wisely, Miya. I will have the ingredients brought to you in the alchemical laboratory soon."
"Thank you, Pontiff," Miya said, bowing deeply. "I will not disappoint."
As Miya left, the Pontiff imdiately left to his Chamber to talk or pray to the Goddess. He wanted so reassurance that this was what She wanted to happen after Miya obtained the inheritance of the Chaos Alchemist.
***
A couple of days later, Miya stood in the alchemical laboratory, surrounded by the rare ingredients she had requested.
The room was filled with the scent of herbs and the faint hum of magical energy.
"As expected of the Pontiff… He brought the highest quality of each ingredient." Miya smiled as she looked around.
After confirming that everything was prepared, she ordered one of the acolytes so as not to allow anyone to enter her laboratory.
"Yes, High Priest Miya…" The acolyte replied as she left the laboratory and stood outside to guard it.
Miya then took a mont to steady herself and began her work.
The creation of the Philosopher's Elixir wouldn't be easy, and it may take several days, even with the inheritance of the Chaos Alchemist.
Nonetheless, she was prepared to go through this in order to change the world for the better!
