513 Philosopher's Stone
Seeing that the elderly witch in front of him pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact the turbulent spiritual light fluctuations had revealed her inner emotions, Xie Zihao pretended to mutter slightly, which whetted her appetite, and then said:
"I'm quite busy with things at hand right now. I'm afraid it will take a while to start refining the medicine after I go back."
Before the person opposite could be disappointed, Xie Zihao continued:
"But if Ms. Goode can afford the price, it's not impossible to expedite it. Even if it's the legendary Philosopher's Stone, it's not impossible..."
"Philosopher's Stone!" x2
Fiona Goode and Cordelia Fox, mother and daughter, exclaimed in unison.
When the few little witches heard this, they all looked at their principal and the principal's mother in surprise, wondering why these two people were so excited.
The little witches have little understanding of the supernatural world. They don't know what the name Philosopher's Stone represents, and they have never even heard of it.
But both Fiona Goode, the supreme witch who is the leader of the Salem witches, and Cordelia Fox, a senior witch and witch principal who has lived for more than thirty years, all have a deep understanding of the meaning of this name.
At this time, Fiona no longer cared about pretending to be calm and could not suppress the excitement in her heart. She held the edge of the table with both hands and asked Xie Zihao:
"Mr. Sherman, can you get the Philosopher's Stone?"
There was a hint of disbelief in her tone. It was not that she suspected that Xie Zihao was lying, but that the Philosopher's Stone was a gift from the gods to the caster, a universal elixir, and a ladder to progress!
This kind of treasure has not been seen even by the Salem Witches, an ancient supernatural force that has been passed down for thousands of years for more than two hundred years.
Xie Zihao shook his head and said: "Of course it is not the kind of Philosopher's Stone made by the ancient alchemists that can turn stones into gold at will and produce the elixir of life. It is the main component of the Philosopher's Stone, or the Philosopher's Stone produces
gold in the spiritual world, do you two understand?"
Fiona and her daughter nodded repeatedly.
As witches, although they are not as obsessed with magic experiments and alchemical research as wizards and alchemists, they still have a rough understanding of basic alchemical knowledge.
The three highest achievements pursued by ancient alchemy are the Philosopher's Stone, the universal elixir Azote, and the artificial human being.
Among them, the word Azote, the universal elixir, is also the name for mercury. In fact, Azote is an elixir of immortality made from the Philosopher's Stone, and spiritual gold is actually another form of Azote. This
It is very similar to the golden elixir theory and terms such as lead and mercury in Eastern alchemy.
Fiona Goode said with excitement in her tone:
"I understand. Of course I know about spiritual gold. Unfortunately, although this kind of treasure is not a real Philosopher's Stone, its quantity is too scarce. Not to mention seeing it, I haven't heard this name in the circle for twenty years.
…”
Regarding the legendary Philosopher's Stone, it would be false to say that Fiona does not covet it, but she, the supreme witch, is not particularly keen on the Philosopher's Stone's magical effect of turning stones into gold and making people go further.
Instead, the desire that the Philosopher's Stone can create a universal elixir that can make people live forever and restore youth has become like a demon in their hearts.
Spiritual gold and Azote are two different forms of the same substance. Whichever one you get can successfully restore her youthful appearance and extend her life.
After listening to Fiona Goode’s words, Xie Zihao smiled and said:
"I think even if someone gets it, they won't make it public. Everyone will keep it secretly for their own use. Are you right, Ms. Goode?"
Fiona nodded repeatedly:
"That's the truth. If it were me, I wouldn't reveal even a little bit of information to outsiders!"
At this time, she looked at the young man Xie Zihao with eager eyes.
But at the same time, she felt a headache, because she was thinking about what kind of thing she would use to exchange a rare treasure like spiritual gold with the young man in front of her.
Fiona glanced at the young woman opposite, then at her daughter, sighing secretly.
"If only Cordelia were ten years younger!"
The old witch is confident that her daughter's beauty when she was young will never be inferior to that of the powerful woman opposite her. But unfortunately, Cordelia is a bit older now, with a difference of more than fifteen years. Otherwise, she would only need to hand over her daughter.
To the other party, she didn't believe that this young man would embarrass her mother-in-law over this matter.
After calculating her family fortune, Fiona felt that it would be difficult to exchange for even a drop of spiritual gold, and then she thought of the Salem witches' past collections.
"Mr. Sherman, I can't think of anything to exchange for spiritual gold. It is a priceless treasure, but we may have what you need in the collections of our past Salem witches..."
Xie Zihao waved his hand and said:
"There's no rush. There is still a little witch waiting to be resurrected in the academy. How about we discuss it after I witness the resurrection ceremony of the Salem witch tomorrow?"
Fiona also realized her urgency when she heard this, and quickly covered it up and said:
"Yes! The most important thing is to resurrect our little witch, Cordelia, do you need my help with the resurrection ceremony?"
Cordelia shook her head and said:
"No, mother, I have already agreed with Misty that we will go to the swamp tomorrow to ask her to help resurrect Madison."
Although the Supreme Witch possesses the seven representative witch powers recognized by their school, including resurrecting the dead, Cordelia instinctively felt that there would be some disadvantages if her mother resurrected Madison.
Something happened, so it’s best to proceed as planned.
After being rejected by her daughter, Fiona Goode's slightly lowered eyes flashed with an imperceptible strangeness, and then she immediately showed her signature smile.
Although she can't do anything in the resurrection ceremony, Fiona feels that even if the little witch wakes up and Cordelia finds out that she killed the other party, it won't have much impact on her. As long as she can
If you switch to spiritual gold and use it to restore your youth, none of this will matter.

Although she didn't know what her mother was doing, Cordelia still chose the right approach based on instinct. Unlike Fiona Goode, the supreme witch who was selfish and dissolute by nature, Cordelia was a somewhat disciplined person.
woman, even for many modern women she is a bit too conservative.
In terms of how he behaves, the principal of the witch college can also be said to be a good old man.
Fiona knew her daughter's character, so she chose to bully honest people. It wasn't like she didn't make her daughter angry in the past, but every time she came back after a while to apologize and say nice things, she could make the soft-hearted Cody
Leah forgives herself.
In her opinion, the little witch didn't die in the end anyway, and the matter was not serious enough for mother and daughter to become enemies.
It has to be said that this supreme witch is somewhat cold-blooded in terms of selfishness, but she doesn't know it yet.
Sure enough, it is in line with those two sentences, good people will be bullied by others, and those who are favored will always be confident.
These two sentences can be used not only between love, but also between relatives and friends.
The banquet ended with the mother and daughter witches having their own thoughts.
After experiencing the exciting scenes of the day, the little witches were still too excited to fall asleep after returning to the room, and they gathered together to discuss today's events.
It wasn't until the headmistress coughed heavily outside the door that the little witches stopped and slowly fell asleep.
As for Xie Zihao and Melinda, after entering the room arranged by the Witch Academy, they entered the world of mirror flowers and water moon, leaving only a paper puppet in the outside room for communication.
