If you are thinking of the Grapes of Wrath maybe we could get gold from there also
Take some Red Copper (as starting base) then add ashes of
basilisk, blood taken from a red haired man and some _____ to
produce gold of divine wrath.

recap
What would you hope would be the result of a introducing a toad, and a baguette to a live chicken and then conducting a union with a ginger midget and a monk called "Roger" on a vineyard in Belgium?
the toad, the baguette and the live chicken somehow ended up with a basilisk which roger killed and burned during it's youth giving him basilisk ashes.
It came out that we are dealing with a bit of alchemy in which
you add the ashes of a basilisk to the blood of a ginger midget to
_____ which Roger obtained in a vi neyard in what would later be Belgium. This results in some kind of gold.
It appears that we are dealing with some kind of transmutation of elements here as none of the elements in the formula have 79 protons.
