If you just want to exchange for a small quantity of Life Essence, there are plenty of people who would cut you a deal; you can completely ignore my words.
However, the Koslow family is thriving in numbers, and not to mention just a few doses of Life Essence, even dozens or hundreds might not be enough to distribute.
Although they belong to the same family, the current Koslow family, is more like a Bloodline based coalition of interests.
The branches do not belong to each other and nobody can command anyone. Otherwise, if dozens of branches work together, your progress would have been smoother.
Those from established branches, you cannot afford to buy their allegiance now.
If you want to cultivate a family of knights, you can only recruit from the marginalized kin.
According to the principle of equivalent exchange, a bottle of Life Essence in exchange for ten years of service, this business is definitely not a loss.
