Bone Douluo's condition gradually stabilized, and Sword Douluo no longer hesitated.
He held the Sword Heart Insight Grass in his hand. Its blades were crystalline and translucent, with faint sword energy flowing across them. Every leaf resembled a sharp longsword.
Before leaving, Ye Ruilin had already explained in detail how to use the Sword Heart Insight Grass.
Sword Douluo took a deep breath and slowly enveloped the Sword Heart Insight Grass with Soul Power, beginning to refine it.
Wrapped in Soul Power, the Sword Heart Insight Grass gradually melted, transforming into a stream of fierce sword energy that slowly poured into his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul.
In an instant, Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul fully manifested. Brilliant light flowed across its blade, while sword energy crisscrossed the air as though it could tear space apart.
Sword Douluo only felt that his sword intent had reached an unprecedented state of purity at that moment, while his Martial Soul gradually transformed beneath the cleansing torrent of sword energy.
The sword became even sharper, with a faint radiance flowing along its long, slender blade.
"Sword Heart Insight!"
Sword Douluo was overwhelmed with excitement. He could clearly sense that his sword intent had reached an entirely new level.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed through them.
Rising to his feet, he lightly swung the Seven Kill Sword in his hand. A streak of sword energy instantly tore through the sky with astonishing force.
By then, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already undergone a quiet transformation.
Elsewhere.
Dugu Yan followed behind Dugu Bo, her heart filled with unease. Unable to hold it in, she asked,
"Grandpa, does the person you mentioned really have the ability to resolve the poison inside me?"
Dugu Bo saw his granddaughter's worry. He vigorously rubbed her head and laughed.
"Don't worry. He could even resolve the poison in your grandpa's body, and mine was far worse. Wouldn't your little problem be easy for him?"
Dugu Bo spoke casually, a smile hanging on his lips. Clearly, he trusted Ye Ruilin's abilities greatly.
Yet Dugu Yan still felt somewhat uneasy. Even after meeting Ye Ruilin in person, her face still carried a trace of doubt.
Ye Ruilin immediately saw through Dugu Yan's thoughts and smiled as he greeted Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, is this your granddaughter?"
Dugu Bo pushed Dugu Yan in front of him and nodded with a chuckle.
"Kid, my granddaughter's pretty, isn't she?"
His teasing gaze made Dugu Yan glare at her grandfather in irritation.
Dugu Bo put away his smile and said seriously,
"I brought this girl here today so you could help her resolve the poison in her body."
"She's still young, but ever since awakening her Martial Soul, she's constantly been affected by the poison. I don't want her to end up like me."
Ye Ruilin nodded and gestured with his hand.
"Come in and have a seat."
He led them into the room. Ma Hongjun immediately poured Dugu Bo a cup of tea, his eyes curiously studying Dugu Yan.
His gaze was pure, without the slightest improper thought. He was simply curious about the granddaughter Dugu Bo had praised all along the way.
Seeing Dugu Yan in person, Ma Hongjun could not help secretly marveling. Just as Dugu Bo had said, she was a beautiful young woman.
"Hong Jun, go bring out that thousand-year soul bone."
Ye Ruilin said to Ma Hongjun.
He had long prepared for Dugu Yan's arrival and had specifically readied a thousand-year soul bone that suited her extremely well.
At the words "soul bone," Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both looked at Ye Ruilin, their eyes full of surprise.
Soul bones were exceptionally rare treasures. Was he really taking one out so casually?
Dugu Bo looked somewhat troubled as he spoke.
"Kid from the Ye Family, I don't have anything to offer in exchange for a soul bone right now."
"I've spent all these years in Sunset Forest, and I don't have anything valuable on me. The only valuable things I had were the immortal herbs, and you already took those."
After saying that, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Ye Ruilin smiled and waved his hand.
"Senior Dugu, you're being too polite."
"It's only a thousand-year soul bone. If you feel bad about taking it, you can consider protecting me for one year."
"During that year, you only need to stay by my side."
Dugu Bo nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Alright, I agree."
He had originally intended to stay by Ye Ruilin's side anyway, but he had lacked a suitable reason before.
Now that he had a perfectly legitimate excuse, he naturally would not refuse.
Dugu Yan glanced at her grandfather, then looked toward Ye Ruilin. Her eyes still held some doubt.
"A single soul bone can resolve the poison in my body?"
There was clear disbelief in her tone.
After all, with Dugu Bo's strength, obtaining a thousand-year soul bone would not have been difficult.
If a soul bone could truly solve the problem, the poison in her body should have been resolved long ago.
Ye Ruilin smiled faintly and explained,
"This soul bone is a torso bone produced by a snake-type soul beast. It has an extremely high compatibility with your Martial Soul."
"After you fuse with it, I'll help gather all the poison in your body into the soul bone."
"That way, you can retain the powerful poison of your Martial Soul without it harming your body."
After hearing this, a gleam instantly flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.
For Soul Masters with snake-type Martial Souls like theirs, poison was both power and a burden.
If they could preserve the poison without it harming their bodies, it would undoubtedly be the best possible outcome.
"This is a good method!"
Dugu Bo said excitedly, then asked expectantly,
"Then do you think I could use this method too?"
Ye Ruilin shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of regret.
"Senior Dugu, the poison in your body has already seeped deep into your bones. It can't be transferred and can only be completely removed."
"However, after the poison is removed, if you can find a suitable torso bone, you can try the same method."
"It's just that a torso bone suitable for you will likely be hard to find."
Dugu Bo nodded, understanding.
Soul bones were already rare, much less torso bones produced by snake-type soul beasts.
He sighed and shifted his gaze back to Dugu Yan, his eyes filled with expectation.
As Dugu Yan looked at the soul bone in Ye Ruilin's hand, the doubts in her heart gradually faded, replaced by a trace of anticipation.
"If you're ready, you can absorb this soul bone now."
Ye Ruilin handed the soul bone to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan pressed her lips together and reached out to accept the torso bone.
No matter what, this was an opportunity her grandfather had fought for on her behalf.
Regardless of the outcome, she had to try.
"Yanyan, don't put so much pressure on yourself."
"Whether this method succeeds or fails, Grandpa will completely resolve the poison in your body."
Knowing his granddaughter's temperament, Dugu Bo spoke again to comfort her.
To him, nothing was more important than resolving the poison afflicting Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo's words made Dugu Yan's gaze instantly turn resolute.
Ma Hongjun stood nearby, curiously staring at the soul bone in Dugu Yan's hands.
He had heard that such things were exceptionally precious, but ever since following his boss, he truly had not felt that they were all that precious.
A soul bone always seemed to appear around his boss every so often.
