You can rinse the bones before blanching, but the blanching will effectively remove most of the salt anyway. The fire in the bones is what contributes to the "heatiness" of the soup. This is one of those "things Chinese people do because their grandmothers did it" theories. Hope this has helped shed more light on this! However, you can look at it from another perspective in that you don't need to add any more salt to the soup.
