You can't. Alchemy was abandoned because it didn't work. Some of the things that did work became chemistry. No one successfully turned lead into gold. Nor did anyone successfully create the philosopher's stone. Alchemy was basically chemistry with a lot of magic thrown into it. The alchemists were sorcerer want to be's. They attempted to conjure spirits, and use spells on chemicals that they believed contained magical properties, all in a vain attempt to convert base metals into something of greater value. Even Isaac Newton, probably the greatest scientific mind of the last 500 years, accomplished nothing in alchemy, even though he experimented with it for decadesIf I knew that, I'd be rich and immortal. Sadly, I'm not.

Why does the Philosophers' Stone not exist?
The Philosophers' Stone was determined to be unable to exist due to our more modern understandings of atoms. The Philosophers' Stone was a substance reputed to be able to transform, or "transmute" common metals such as lead and iron in to noble metals, such as pure gold and silver. However, we now know that to change one element in to another requires a bombardment of radiation particles, or an atom fusing process known as nucleosynthesis. Because of the massive amount of energy required in this, the cost in creating gold far outweighs the monetary profit. And since it's not possible without this expenditure of energy, the Philosophers' Stone has been deemed a myth.
