I'm writing a paper on alchemy. Is it really possible that someone could turn base metals into gold or make immortality elixirs? It's kinda hard to believe I know but many believed in alchemy in the middle ages. How did / "alchemists/" get away with that?

Yes, it would be possible to turn a base metal into gold. An example of that would be the lead. In order to turn a metal like lead, what it needs is just to gain or loss protons. And also same goes to elixirs.
