Upgrading the Healing Gourd in Black Myth Wukong, explained
The base Healing Gourd in Black Myth Wukong only lets you heal four times. Moreover, one usage of it doesn't fully replenish your health bar; it only recovers 33% of your maximum health. However, with the help of the Shen Monkey, you can upgrade its capabilities by giving him specific items.
To increase the number of usages of the Healing Gourd, you must gather Loujia Fragrant Vine. The initial Gourd is called the "Old Gourd" and is categorized as a common item. However, after upgrading it, it will turn into the Medicine Gourd (an uncommon item). Notably, it can heal you five times.
You have to keep on gathering the Loujia Fragrant Vine and utilize it via Shen Monkey to further upgrade your Healing Gourd. The Loujia Fragrant Vine can be found in several places in the early game. One can be found on a tree trunk opposite the Marsh of White Mist Keeper's Shrine.

Upgrade drinks
Aside from increasing the usage of the Healing Gourd, you can also increase the amount of health recovery that one sip of the drink provides. Shen Monkey also helps you in this regard. Interact with him and choose the Upgrade Drinks option. Provide him with one Awaken Wine Worm to increase the health-restoring capability of one sip.
After the first upgrade, "Coconut Wine," which restores 33% of your maximum health, turns into "3-Year-Old Coconut Wine," which recovers 36% of your maximum health.
This concludes our guide on upgrading the Healing Gourd in Black Myth Wukong.
