Upon witnessing this, Baron Katelai also inwardly lamented.
The Life Essence recipe was indeed priceless, even a fractured one holds significant value, but it was a hard item to let go!
Families with purchasing power have no need for it. Families who do have need for it cannot afford it.
Although some of the medium nobles with shallow background also need it, their families are not large enough, the demand for the Life Essence is not significant.
They wouldn't make a bulk purchase for over a decade, there's simply no cost-effectiveness in spending a lot of money on this, is there?
Even Katelai's own clan, due to the imbalance of cost and output, had given up on the research of this.
Cases like the Koslow Family, where they need it and can afford it, are very rare in the entire Alpha Kingdom.
"I can give up on the formula, but your family, if they figure it out, must sell it to me at a reasonable price in the future," Baron Katelai tried to bargain.
