The two maids chosen for Ye Changsheng were both in their early twenties. At the age of beauty, her cultivation had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
They were all trusted aides, or else they would not have been assigned to Ye Changsheng's side.
Of course, choosing them to stay by Ye Changsheng's side was not to ensure his safety. Instead, it was a signal to the outside world that Ye Changsheng was a core disciple of the Ye family.
If they dared to touch the core disciples of the Yates family, they would fight to the death with the Yates family. Be it ordinary clans or itinerant cultivators, they would have to think twice.
The ones responsible for Ye Changsheng's safety were the two Qi Refinement Level 12 guards.
They were all core bloodlines of the Yates family, and their cultivation was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment realm.
If they encountered danger, they would consume the Bursting Spirit Pill that they had prepared beforehand. After consuming the Spiritual Bursting Pill, their strength could reach the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm in a short period of time. However, after the surge in strength ended, less than 10% of his cultivation would remain.
In other words, if Ye Changsheng was in danger, the two guards would risk their lives to protect him.
Initially, the elders had wanted to arrange for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to protect Ye Changsheng in secret, but Ye Changsheng had refused.
This wasn't because Ye Mo didn't care about his own safety, but rather because it would be too eye-catching if he was protected by his Foundation Establishment clansmen. It was no different from telling the other forces that he was talented and was here to silence them.
Moreover, it wasn't like he didn't have any trump cards to use. If he really encountered an irresistible danger, he could totally slip into the mysterious space.
Once he entered the mysterious space, it would be impossible for even a Golden Core cultivator to find him.
Just like that, Ye Changsheng, who was ten years old after two years, could finally leave the mountain leisurely with his two maids and two bodyguards.

Clouds and mist curled up, and the red and green mountains stretched for dozens of miles.
The crisp deer's cry echoed happily in the forest. In less than a breath's time, the Floating Cloud Deer had already traveled dozens of meters in the forest.
This was the first time he went on a long journey, so Little Cloud Deer was very happy.
Its four hooves were long and slender, and there were two pairs of silver-white antlers on its head. Its fine fur was as smooth as brocade, and its body was like a white cloud as it moved.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ye Changsheng couldn't help but look back at the Xuanqing Mountain Range. This was the clan land that he had never left since he was born.
Five years had passed in the blink of an eye since he entered the Mizar Peak's Purple Bamboo Forest to cultivate.
Usually, after the clan's disciples were tested to have spiritual roots, they would have five years to build their foundation.
When they were ten years old, they would be assigned to the various industries of the family to gain experience and broaden their horizons.
The clan's various businesses included grade one and grade two ling veins, shops in the market, some minerals being mined, medicinal gardens, ling grain plantations, and even the capital of a mortal country. They would arrange for clansmen to take care of them.
The clansmen with excellent aptitude would be arranged to places like spirit veins or markets. This was because the locations of these industries did not lack excellent cultivation environments.
As for those with slightly weaker aptitudes, they would be arranged to go to mines, spiritual valleys, spiritual medicine gardens, mortal countries, and other places to train and manage.
The training period was roughly two to five years. After the experiential learning, the clan would choose the direction of their future major according to their talents or interests. Alchemy, weapon refinement, talismans, beast taming, array formations, breeding, trading, mining, and so on.
Among them, only the clansmen with excellent aptitude had the opportunity to cultivate on the only Level 3 spirit vein of the Ye Clan, the Xuanqing Mountain Range. The rest of the clansmen would be assigned to the other grade 1 and grade 2 spiritual veins to cultivate.
It seemed that this kind of clan rule was very cruel. However, just by looking at the days of wandering cultivators, one would realize that the experiences of disciples of cultivation families were simply too comfortable.
Many itinerant cultivators even had to spend spirit stones to rent a cultivation place like a grade-1 spirit vein. When he went out on normal days, he still had to worry about the burning, killing, and looting of the outside world. He spent most of the year earning spirit stones, and only half of the year was spent on cultivation.
On the other hand, what about the clan disciples? They only needed to complete the tasks assigned by the clan to obtain contribution points. Whether it was pills, magic tools, or spiritual fruits, they could be purchased from the family at internal prices. There were also elders who taught them carefully on the path of cultivation. During his free time, he could also cultivate in the clan's spirit vein for free.
Comparing the two, although the clansmen with poor aptitude would be treated worse, it still depended on who they were compared to, right?
The training ground that Ye Changsheng had assigned this time was a manor near the Silver Moon Lake, a Level Two Spirit Vein of the Ye Clan.
Usually, he only needed to take care of the herbs in the manor. Every year, he would send the herbs from the medicine garden to the nearby market to sell.
Moreover, the spiritual vein where the Silver Moon Lake was located had a powerful lake protection array. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would find it hard to break in.
And in a market near Silver Moon Lake, there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Ye clan guarding it. Such an environment was both comfortable and safe.
Riding on the back of the Floating Cloud Deer, Ye Changsheng looked back at his cultivation life in the past few years and felt rather emotional.
While his peers were still fretting about how to break through to the second level of Qi Refinement, he had already started preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
The happiness of a heavenly spirit root was truly so simple and unadorned.
After all, the famous martial arts master Lu Xun once said," Did anyone really think that cultivation was difficult?
The deer moved like the wind, leaping across the mountain stream like a breeze, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Silver Moon Lake, Silver Moon Villa.
This place was a Grade Two Spiritual Vein of the Ye Clan.
In the early years, before the Ye family had a Grade-3 spirit vein, this spirit vein was the Ye family's land.
Although the Ye Clan had moved to the Xuanqing Mountain Range in recent years, there were still hundreds of thousands of mortals living in the Silver Moon Lake.
The Silver Moon Villa was located at the location of this Grade 2 Spiritual Vein.
Usually, this grade-2 spirit vein was guarded by a clan elder at the twelfth level of Qi Refinement and dozens of Qi Refinement cultivators.
On this day, before dawn, the Qi Refining Stage Level 12 elder had already led a group of people to wait outside the villa.
A group of early-stage Qi Refining clansmen were very puzzled. Today, they were waiting outside with such a grand momentum. Which elder of the family was coming to visit?
"Fourteenth Granduncle, you called us over so early in the morning. Could it be that some important figure from the family is coming?”A member of the younger generation asked curiously.
The 14th granduncle shook his head in amusement and explained,""That's not the case. From today onwards, the person who comes to the Silver Moon Manor will be your new Manor Lord. That's why I brought you here to get to know each other. As for this old man, after today, I will be able to return to the Xuanqing main vein to enjoy my life. After toiling for a lifetime, it was time to return to the main branch to take care of his children and grandchildren and enjoy his old age.”
"What is it? A new manor lord? Who was it? Which clan elder was it? How was his cultivation?”
"Although the new manor lord is young, he is of the 'elder' generation. This old man is already so old, I still have to call him uncle.”Ye Shenghai stroked his beard and laughed.
His words made everyone speechless. Most of the clansmen from the main lineage had a higher seniority than the clansmen from the branch lineage. This was a very common situation.
After all, many direct descendants of the main branch rarely started a family before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
This also led to them having children very late. As time passed, the seniority became more and more exaggerated.
Take Ye Shenghai for example. He was the 16th generation of the Ye family. However, the Ye family branch had long since reached the 23rd generation. There were more than ten generations between them, so couldn't they call him great-grandfather or great-grandfather?
As for the bloodline of the Ye family in the mortal world, it was no longer counted in the hierarchy. It was only when they awakened their spiritual roots and stepped onto the path of cultivation that they would be able to have the word generation again.
