The entire square fell silent, a silence filled with speechless disbelief.
"Isn't this second round of Herb Catalysis supposed to use pill seeds? Why are there Potato Seeds too?"
"Potatoes count as pill seeds. They contain medicinal properties, and potatoes are the core ingredient of Youth-Restoring Pills."
"But no matter how you explain it, aren't Potato Seeds far too easy to catalyze?"

Catalyzing a Potato Seed was so simple that it could not test an Alchemist's true catalysis ability. However, all
