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 some lower-class concoctions for a Chaos Alchemist.

    "Mhmm... Acquiring it wouldn''t be easy. It will take some time 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 me 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 someone 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 met 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 seemed 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 Concealment saved him in time and was now living in secrecy. Once you''re ready, you will be able to meet him as well." The Pontiff said.

    "Now, aside from that blood, do you have any other requests?" The Pontiff continued.

    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 Concealment 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 immediately left to his Chamber to talk or pray to the Goddess. He wanted some 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 moment 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!
