TheWoWDBFor those who missed out on the punching bag, started playing in Legion and beyond, or who might have misplaced it somewhere, there isn't a lot of clarity on which quests you must complete in order to reach this reward.
In order to reach the quest that rewards this, you must finish the Thunderfoot Fields criteria of the Rally the Valley achievement. This is initiated by your first entrance into Valley of Four Winds, with This quest chain. Follow this first chain onwards until you reach the criteria (it's very linear). Once you reach Mudmug's home, the quests for both the punching bag and the turnip gun will become available.
The reason I'm providing this explanation is that it wasn't made very clear by many other sources. People just say "do a bunch of quests," and that didn't help me very much, because I had certain alts that had parts of this zone completed, and others who didn't, before this item became a toy.

I threw out the punching bag shortly after I looted it, I figured I needed the space in my bags more than I would ever "use" the item to warrant keeping it. Ofc now I am chasing up items such as these as this will be a toy in legion. Anyway! if you are anything like me, I had an alt that quite literally flew past most of the quests in the zone and had not yet completed Leaders Among Breeders.
You can check this by using the following script in game: /script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(29944))
If you receive a False reading it means you have not yet completed the quest. (True means you have completed this quest)What is difficult to track down however are the pre-req quests to gain access to this quest, so my best advice is to look for Li-Li in the various quest hubs but start off with Shang's Stead (a bit south west of ThunderFoot Fields)
If she is there then you can simply pick up Great Minds Drink Alike and then your next quest (once escorting Chen and Li-Li) will be exactly what you are after - Leaders Among Breeders.Something else that may be useful is to check for Chen here. It is worth noting that should be far south, I would check if you have completed the quest as at this point I would say yes.
I found her at Pang's Stead unfortunately, so I had to quest through the ranch and surrounding areas until she appeared at Shang's. Good luck ! :)
Confirmed all three of these guys are ABOVE ground.

What to do
Turnip Punching Bag, 13g 74s, 4,800 XPDescription
Before any kegs are tapped, we have work to do. These virmen are no different than the virmen on the Wandering Isle... a nuisance that breeds as fast as the rabbits they resemble. Sure, we could kill every last virmen we find, but what's the point in needless bloodshed? Let's just take out their alphas, and they'll slow down with their... reproduction.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Great Minds Drink Alike
Hello again, <name>. What is this, the fourth time we've run into one another already? Say... my keg is quickly becoming quite empty. I've heard mention of a brewery to the southwest, and that's where we're headed. Care to join us?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Yellow and Red Make Orange
Uncle Chen says we're going to help this guy out with his virmen problem. Fine by me! I LOVE messing with virmen. Here's the plan: we're going to paint some turnips orange, and then we'll try to convince the virmen that they're carrots. This can only end in comedy. I'll gather turnips.
