Qin Fengming had gone to such lengths to use the secret art Bing'er had taught him against the ghost cultivator before him for a reason.
Before Bing'er had even appeared, he had already received her voice transmission. She had told him that this old ghost cultivator had been formed from a remarkably rare ten-thousand-year corpse baleful spirit that had gained sentience.
Although corpse baleful spirits and refined corpses were both corpses that had gained sentience, the processes by which they formed were vastly different.
A refined corpse was made when another cultivator or ghost cultivator took the immortal corpse of a cultivator or demonic beast that had existed for a thousand or even ten thousand years, refined it with a secret art, and forcibly infused a soul into its body so that it could obey its creator's commands and attack enemies.

It could be said that corpse baleful spirits were of a higher rank. Ten-thousand-year corpse baleful spirits were generally exceedingly difficult to produce, but once one formed, its methods, strength, and cultivation talent were all heaven-defying. Because of its unique constitution, its lifespan was also far longer than that of cultivators of the same rank.
