That was easy to say, but for Ron, Elemental Potatoes practically cost nothing.
As long as he had enough time, he could produce them in huge quantities.
As for mass production, as long as he exchanged for enough Cultivation Spaces in the future, it would not be a problem for Ron at all.
The key was whether he could use the Elemental Potato's trait of "automatically absorbing surrounding elements to replenish itself" to turn it into a reusable substitute for an Elemental Stone.
Ilya beside him realized this as well.
She had already sensed that the Elemental Potato embedded at the bottom of the water condenser, having had some of its elements absorbed by the mana-storage array, was slowly drawing in the surrounding elements to replenish itself.
The speed seemed slow, but in truth, it only needed a few minutes to restore the one-twentieth of its elements that had been consumed earlier.
At that speed... Ilya parted her lips slightly, suddenly sensing something inconceivable. Her entire body froze.
"Ah... how could that be...?"
"What is it?" Ron asked in confusion.
Although the Elemental Potato's recovery speed was impressive, it should not have provoked such a huge reaction from Ilya, should it?

"That's impossible!"
Ilya shook her head violently, as though she had suffered a tremendous shock.
"There must be something wrong!"
"It did absorb all six elements, but
