After three days, Ding Yi had already brushed the experience of [The Method of Tempering] (Introduction, Experience 41/10000). After getting familiar with the [The Method of Tempering], Ding Yi's experience speed also slightly accelerated, from the beginning 2 to 3 o'clock per hour to the current 4 to 5 o'clock per hour.

However, Ding Yi can only maintain three to four hours of cultivation every day, which is not that he doesn't want to immerse himself in the state of cultivation to learn experience, but he really can't spend time hiding in the room all day practicing the method of breathing.

After spending some time to understand the current situation of the Lishan Association, Ding Yi understood why the Hukou Gang frequently asked for trouble in Lishan Association, and he dared to come to provoke him several times.

Ding Yi was also quite helpless about the current Lishan Conference.

After a period of familiarity, Ding Yi also grasped the current situation of the entire Lishan Conference.

The Lishan Association is actually just a small sect that sits in a remote small county town. To put it bluntly, they have never walked out of the small county town of Mount Li since Ding Yi's master Hong Yun founded the Lishan Association.

It’s not that any cheap master Ding Yi doesn’t want to go out, but... the leader of the Lishan Association’s founding gang has limited abilities.

Except for a set of [Piaoyun Sword Technique], no one in the Lishan Conference could choose any other martial arts moves.

Without a good foundation in kung fu, and Ding Yi's cheap master was really limited in ambitions. The result of the combination of the two was that the first leader of the Lishan Association finally chose to start a relatively comfortable business such as opening a brothel in a small place in Lishan County without any suspense.

The result of lying in remote areas was that Mount Li would not receive qualified disciples at all. Hong Yun's lack of ambition finally made him never receive a decent disciple except when he ran into Ding Yi who was lost because of playing and lost his way (the predecessor of Ding Yi's body, no explanation in the future). (About the saying of getting lost, Ding Yi felt that... it was Hong Yun who kidnapped the young "self" at that time)

Two years ago, Hong Yun's sudden death became an important inducement to the decline of Mount Li. After losing Hong Yun, a famous master in all corners of the country, only Elder Dai'an and Ding Yi were left in the entire Mount Li.

It was also from that time that several gangs near Lishan County gradually turned their attention to the Lishan Association, which had lost its mainstay in Lishan County, and the Hukou Gang was the most powerful force among those who were young.

In the past two years, the Lishan Association had several conflicts with the Hukou Gang. In all these conflicts, Elder Dai took action to make the Lishan Association withstand the other party's harassment one after another. However, when the Hukou Gang was invading, Elder Dai was finally injured because he was outnumbered, which led to the incident in which Ma Cen personally came to the door.

As for why Ding Yi didn't take action before, Ding Yi was really speechless. Through his little understanding before, Ding Yi realized that the original owner of his body was almost a complete nerd. He could not do anything except reading books, and his martial arts were almost abandoned.

...

After finishing the breathing exercise that day, Ding Yi went to the other courtyard to visit Elder Dai who was still recovering from his wounds.

Elder Dai's injuries were even worse than he had imagined, but thinking about it, Elder Dai was already old after all, and a seventy-year-old man suddenly slapped his chest by a strong man of five or three thickness. No one would feel good about it.

"Elder Dai, have you been better at cultivating these days?" After thoroughly figuring out the situation of the Lishan Association, Ding Yi gradually increased his favorability towards Elder Dai, whom he was not very familiar with.

So recently, he would go to Elder Dai's room from time to time to greet him, to increase his understanding of the world, and to comfort Elder Dai's previous contribution to the Lishan Club. At least... before he came, Ding Yi understood that the original "he" was not very competent as the leader of the gang.

"Gangmaster, come and see me in person. How can I afford it?" Elder Dai saw Ding Yi walking into his room again, and quickly thought of getting up and bowing to Ding Yi.

Looking at Elder Dai who wanted to get up from the bed and bow to him, Ding Yi really didn't know what to say. Logically, based on Elder Dai's status in the gang and his kung fu skills, he had the opportunity to completely replace Ding Yi as the leader of the Lishan Association.

But for some reason, this old man has been trying his best to assist the "nerd" Ding Yi. Ding Yi himself has inquired about this, but he has never obtained any exact information.

"Elder Dai doesn't have to be polite. You are also an old man in the Lishan Association. Logically, I should call you "Uncle Master, so you don't have to be polite to me in the future." Ding Yi walked to Elder Dai's bed a few times and quickly stopped him from getting out of bed.

"This... how can I afford this?" Elder Dai was stunned. The gang leader often walked into his room recently and felt very moved. After all, Ding Yi's recent actions seemed to him to return to the right path. Ding Yi had no regard for the gang before, but just stayed in his room every day to read books.

The last time the gang leader resolutely stood up and killed Ma Cen after he was injured by Ma Cen. All of this made Elder Dai feel the changes that had happened to Ding Yi. Even if Ding Yi didn't come to visit him often, Elder Dai felt that... this gang leader is worthy of his praise and respect. At least he finally stopped neglecting Lishan as before. At least he finally assumed the gang leader's responsibilities.

"Elder Dai, today I came to see if your injury has healed, and secondly, I want to discuss something with you." Ding Yi comforted Elder Dai and sat on the edge of his bed, then said.

"I wonder what the leader of the gang has to do?" Elder Dai corrected his expression and then began to wait and listen carefully to Ding Yi's statement.

"In recent days, I have also considered the matters within the gang. Although I dare not talk about my ambitions at the moment, at least I think we should have some ways to protect ourselves. Otherwise, letting Elder Dai and me take action to meet the enemy every time will make people underestimate the meeting with me, Mount Li." Ding Yi's words were concluded after a period of thinking. As the leader of the gang, he should not take action every time. Although he has only taken action once now,... If he or Elder Dai needs to take action to defend the enemy every time he encounters a crisis in the future, the days when Mount Li will be destroyed will probably not be too far away.

"I wonder if the leader of the gang has a good idea?" Elder Dai pondered for a while before asking.

"I want to spend money to invite a few worshippers." Ding Yi expressed his thoughts. The economic situation of the Lishan Association was actually quite good. Although it was not a good profit after opening this brothel, they had some property after stabilizing their business in the past 10 or 20 years. However, their martial arts were unable to improve, so the Lishan Association has been limited to this Lishan County, and they can only do things to oppress the villagers and suppress the gangsters.

As for the issue of increasing the strength of Mount Li, Ding Yi has been gradually exploring this period of time. He has been trying to summarize the method of breathing. He had asked Elder Dai before. In this world, many major sects have their own internal skills and mental methods, but the internal skills and mental methods of small sects who live in small counties are simply out of reach for them.

So during this period, Ding Yi also tried to summarize the set of breathing methods to see if other disciples could learn this set of internal skills and enter the method. Although Ding Yi only realized during this period that this set of breathing methods is actually an entry-level thing, but... in the case of better than nothing, this is his only choice now.

To increase strength, not only does it require hardware enhancement, but Ding Yi must also find a way to make Lishan richer in software. Otherwise... he is still powerless to protect himself, so how can he make the sect stronger?

What's more, Ding Yi believed that the leading Hukou Gang would come to the door again soon. After all, he had killed the deputy gang leader before.

Elder Dai looked at Ding Yi straight, and had not spoken for a long time. After pondering for a while, he spoke to Ding Yi: "What the gang leader said is so true, let's act according to the gang leader's instructions."
