With Bone Douluo's condition gradually stabilizing, Sword Douluo no longer hesitated.

He held the Sword Heart Insight Grass in his hand; its leaves were crystalline and translucent, with faint sword qi circulating across their surfaces, each leaf appearing like a sharp longsword.

Before Ye Ruilin left, he had already provided detailed instructions on how to use the Sword Heart Insight Grass.

Sword Douluo took a deep breath, slowly wrapped his soul power around the Sword Heart Insight Grass, and began to refine it.

Enveloped by his soul power, the Sword Heart Insight Grass gradually melted, transforming into a surge of sharp sword qi that slowly flowed into his Seven Kill Sword martial soul.

In an instant, Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword martial soul fully manifested, its blade shimmering with brilliant light as sword qi surged, seemingly tearing through the very space around it.

Sword Douluo felt his sword intent reach an unprecedented state of purity at this moment, and his martial soul gradually underwent a transformation under the scouring of the sword qi.

The blade became even sharper, with light faintly circulating along its slender edge.

"Sword Heart Insight!"

Sword Douluo was filled with excitement; he could clearly feel that his sword intent had reached an entirely new height.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

Standing up, he gave a light wave of the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, and a streak of sword qi instantly tore through the sky with astonishing momentum.

At this time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already quietly taken on a brand-new look.

On the other side.

Dugu Yan followed behind Dugu Bo, her heart filled with trepidation. She couldn't help but ask.

"Grandfather, does the person you mentioned really have the ability to resolve the toxins in my body?"

Dugu Bo saw his granddaughter's worry, ruffled her hair firmly, and laughed.

"Don't worry. If he could resolve the heavy toxins in your grandfather's body, then your little problem is nothing but a breeze for him, isn't it?"

Dugu Bo's tone was relaxed, a smile hanging on his lips; he clearly trusted Ye Ruilin's abilities implicitly.

However, Dugu Yan remained uneasy, and even when she finally saw Ye Ruilin in person, her face still carried a hint of skepticism.

Ye Ruilin saw through Dugu Yan's thoughts at a glance and greeted Dugu Bo with a smile.

"Senior Dugu, is this your granddaughter?"

Dugu Bo pushed Dugu Yan to the front and nodded with a chuckle.

"Kid, my granddaughter looks pretty good, doesn't she?"

His teasing gaze made Dugu Yan glare at her grandfather in annoyance.

Dugu Bo put away his smile and said seriously.

"I brought this girl here today specifically for you to help her resolve the toxins in her body."

"She is still young, but ever since she awakened her martial soul, she has been affected by the toxins. I don't want her to end up like me."

Ye Ruilin nodded and gestured with his hand.

"Come in and sit."

He led the two into the room, and Ma Hongjun immediately poured a cup of tea for Dugu Bo, his gaze curiously sizing up Dugu Yan.

His eyes were innocent and free of any impure thoughts; he was simply filled with curiosity about the granddaughter Dugu Bo had been praising all along the way.

Seeing Dugu Yan in person, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but marvel inwardly—she was indeed, just as Dugu Bo had said, a beautiful budding flower.

"Hongjun, go get that thousand-year soul bone."

Ye Ruilin said to Ma Hongjun.

He had long since prepared for Dugu Yan's arrival, specifically setting aside a thousand-year soul bone that was perfectly suited for her.

Hearing the words "soul bone," Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both looked at Ye Ruilin, their eyes filled with astonishment.

A soul bone was an extremely rare treasure; was he really giving it away so easily?

Dugu Bo looked somewhat troubled and spoke up.

"Ye Family kid, I don't have anything I can use to trade for a soul bone right now."

"I've been staying in the Sunset Forest all these years, and I don't have anything valuable on me. Even the only precious immortal herbs I had were taken by you."

After finishing, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Ye Ruilin waved his hand with a smile.

"Senior Dugu, you are too polite."

"It is merely a thousand-year soul bone. If you feel bad about it, you can consider protecting me for one year."

"During this year, you just need to stay by my side."

Dugu Bo nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Fine, I agree."

He had originally intended to stay by Ye Ruilin's side, but he hadn't had a suitable reason before.

Now that he had this legitimate excuse, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather, then at Ye Ruilin, her eyes still filled with suspicion.

"Can a single spirit bone really resolve the toxins within my body?"

There was a hint of disbelief in her tone.

After all, given Dugu Bo's strength, obtaining a thousand-year spirit bone was not a difficult task.

If a spirit bone could truly solve the problem, the toxins in her body would have been resolved long ago.

Ye Ruilin smiled slightly and explained.

"This spirit bone is a torso bone produced by a snake-type spirit beast, and its compatibility with your martial spirit is extremely high."

"After fusing with this spirit bone, I will help you gather all the toxins in your body into the bone."

"In this way, you can not only retain the powerful toxins of your martial spirit but also avoid harming yourself."

Upon hearing this, a flash of light immediately crossed Dugu Bo's eyes.

For spirit masters with snake-type martial spirits like them, toxins are both a source of power and a burden.

If they could retain the toxins without harming themselves, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.

"This method is excellent!"

Dugu Bo said excitedly, then asked with a sense of anticipation.

"Then do you think I could also use this method?"

Ye Ruilin shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of regret.

"Senior Dugu, the toxins in your body have already penetrated deep into your bone marrow; they cannot be transferred and can only be completely purged."

"However, after clearing the toxins, if you can find a suitable torso bone, you could also attempt the same method."

"It is just that a torso bone suitable for you would likely be hard to find."

Dugu Bo nodded, understanding in his heart.

Spirit bones are rare enough as it is, let alone a torso bone produced by a snake-type spirit beast.

He sighed, his gaze returning to Dugu Yan, his eyes filled with expectation.

Looking at the spirit bone in Ye Ruilin's hand, the doubts in Dugu Yan's heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a glimmer of hope.

"If you are prepared, you can absorb this spirit bone now."

Ye Ruilin handed the spirit bone to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan pursed her lips and reached out to take the torso bone.

Regardless of anything else, this was an opportunity her grandfather had secured for her.

No matter the outcome, she had to try it once.

"Yanyan, do not put so much pressure on yourself."

"Whether this method succeeds or fails, Grandfather will completely resolve the toxins in your body for you."

Knowing his granddaughter's personality, Dugu Bo spoke up once more to comfort her.

To him, nothing was more important than resolving the toxins in Dugu Yan's body.

Dugu Bo's words caused Dugu Yan's gaze to instantly become firm.

Ma Hongjun watched the spirit bone in Dugu Yan's hand with curiosity from the side.

He had heard that such things were extremely precious, but ever since he started following his boss, he really hadn't felt they were all that rare.

By his boss's side, a spirit bone seemed to appear every now and then.
