I just recently purchased Master Yi i wanna know how to use him as a jungler

If his passive, Q, E and R aren't dead give aways then to state the obvious, he's the type of champion who bum rushes a target and them proceeds to melt them with auto attack rushing. This basically means his 'itemization' kit is quite flexible since his 3 main'stays' for damage is "Attack Damage", "Attack speed" and "Critical Chance", But due to how his kit works, he can be quite flexible (Like my favorite jungler Kindred) who is not necessarily locked to specific items and can even build alternate items and thrive well on them to counter enemy team comps that are heavy on CC, tanking, AP side, AD side and many others.

By standard though, item 1419 or its item 1416 is going to be your usual grab since Yi is about rapid auto attacks since his passive lets him do 2 hits on a auto after a certain number of auto attacks. I tend to favor item 3006 for this common staple boots but he can work with item 3009 or item 3047, again due to Enemy Comp. Some norm grabs can include item 3046 , item 3153, item 3124 and so on, but you can change your build focus for more beefie items that include strong auto attack/roam utility like item 3071 , item 3742 , item 3022 or even counter items like item 3156 or item 3036 / item 3033 for yet again, 'flexible building' to counter out what the enemy team comp is mostly building towards.

More skillful Yi players can make great use of his W to counter out the damage burst of particular champions (since rank 1 reduces damage taken by 50% while channeling and 70% by rank 5, which is why i tend to max it 2nd). While his E giving a tiny bit of extra passive damage but can be traded out to make every auto you do include a section of true damage, it helps snowball counter champions who go super tankie or run life'steal since its relatively hard to out heal thru Master Yi with high attack speed, his R up and him doing a large number of auto attacks every second to where the enemy champion might of regretted not picking up particular utility items instead of stacking armor.

Based on my experience in rank play, i can at least say for certain in the skills of a decent player, Master Yi can out'right shake up overpowered comps, since you can easily aim to bum rush a enemy team before your enemy team and focus on dealing alot of damage at once, while they waste their abilities on you and then your team can secure the kills, especially if you made the enemy team waste a few ultimates in the process. Though that's just my feel of "If the enemy team is some broken piece of crap team. Then play blitzkrieg to open up opportunities to wipe out the enemy team and let your team be able to push the objectives as a result of it."

Not to mention long as you have the right item comp, Master Yi can pretty much duel thru alot of champions thru skillful use of his Q to dodge CC, his W to mitigate telegraphed huge damage burst and his E to bypass armor stacking heckling scum.

Hes the easiest jungler in the game all you have to do is ask yourself how to jungler is a better question.

If you want to learn him, I would recommend watching Cowsep play him on Youtube.

That should help you learn his basic gameplay and clearing patterns.

Right click champsand farm for a free win. Honestly unless youre bronze 60000 you should carry easy with him because all you have to do is dodge cc with q and 1 shot everyone.
